Author: Richelle Mead
Publisher: Penguin
Release date: December 7, 2010
Copy: Hardcover, gifted

L: This was it. This was the ultimate showdown. All the fighting, all the hard work, all the mystery, all of it & brought it down to this one point.

We find & the two who matter most.

And save Rose.

We meet the half-sibling who could truly help Lissa reach the crown. We find the murderer who will stop Rose from meeting her death.

We find a tragedy when we realize who they are.

The ending of this story, I have to say, though, was very unrealistic from what Id expected of Meads writing. My opinion of Richelle Meads writing has always been that she continuously did the unexpected. Surprise after surprise after surprise. Bam, bam, bam! (I have resorted to baby talk now in attempting to describe Meads fantastic, ineffable writing.) And then & the ending was too expected, I thought. I thought I had to prepare myself for the next surprise. So I put on my armor and & never got to use it. The ending wasnt actually a big disappointment; it was how it was presented that was.

All the same, the series ended with a big BAM!
