All aboard the feels train So many plot twists, so much emotional tension, and SO MANY FEELS. I've been wrecked emotionally by this book and I love it. Excellent conclusion to an excellent series.

This was an epic ending to one of the most epic series I've ever read. After I finished it, I just stared at it for thirty minutes, processing the whole story. First and foremost: I like that the story isn't too complicated. It's easy to follow due to Rachel's magnificent use of words, and the plotline is superb, but not too complicated. I think this is due to the fact that the whole story is narrated from the main character: Ryiah. This brings me to my next point: Rachel is sending a very strong message with Ryiah. She is a girl who has a dream, and she is willing to work her ass off for it. I think lots of people can take Ryiah as an example: if you want something badly, you need to work for it. Then, the relationship between Ryiah and Darren. I loved Darren from the beginning, and I really like the competitiveness between the two of them, it really shows that they're willing to work for what they want, that they both want to be the best. These were the main points that I wanted to emphasise. Overall I can recommend this book to everyone who loves fantasy and romance. If you don't, you're definitely missing out on an amazing series!!!
