The conclusion to the Seraphina Parrish Trilogy did not disappoint me in the least. At its core this is a coming of age story with a totally kickass heroine. I read it in beta form and it was flippin' fantastic. I cannot wait to reread the entire series when it comes out! The intricacy of details and the way everything came together blew my mind. This series has so much going for it: Time travel, friendship, love, symbolism and sacrifice. Imagine a parallel world to our own with fantastical elements similar to Harry Potter along with a quest for purpose and self discovery like in the Percy Jackson series, a delightful not to be missed read that is appropriate for all ages.

Wonderful!
The best book in the series and an amazing ending to this story ♥
My brain hurts - so much action, time-travelling, the connection with the other books and all those many turnarounds. Oh my..
FULL REVIEW:
After all this time, I am still unsure if I will be able to make justice to this book, as it’s so amazing I can barely put my feelings into words. I will try though, hopefully my mind has cleared a bit of all this awesomeness and I can write down something more than “wow”, even though this is exactly what I though after I read the very last words. I might say it again: “wow!”
There are stories that you read from the beginning to the end and.. That’s it.
But there are stories that you read from the beginning to the end and back again, because you just can’t imagine a world without a particular story, because you feel there are things that you’ve missed the first time around and, now that you have the ‘whole picture’, you just need to go back to it one more time and enjoy every clue, every moment.. Everything.
Reading this book felt like a breath of fresh air, it cleared my mind but it also left me a bit lightheaded. Sometimes I get dizzy after reading a story full of twists, sometimes I read and read and I am not sure if my mind can keep up with the action, as it’s all so mind-blowingly beautiful.
When I first started this series I fell in love with the fantasy feeling attached to it. I remember thinking that it would make an amazing movie – the school, the wandering process, the scenes from the past (wherever our beloved characters wandered), the training room… it’s all so magical, and beautiful and amazing. I have no words to describe the beauty of the fantastic world created by Michelle.
The second book filled me with doubts, it left me with unanswered questions, it went to places I was not sure I wanted to go and made me doubt the things I just started to believe in… I liked it, but I didn’t understand it the way I should have.
Then the third one came – oh my. This is the best book in the series and an absolute amazing ending to the story. It blew my mind, it left me speechless, it made me want to turn back to the first book and start reading the whole story again because it all made sense and I couldn’t believe how all the pieces started to fit together so perfectly.
There was wandering, there was mystery, there was love and heartbreak, there was a bit of everything and I loved it to pieces. All characters that you know show a different side and don’t worry much because there are plenty of lovely surprises. As for the descriptions, they are just as vivid as before if not even more.
I wand to live in a world like that, I truly do.
Also the cover is so perfect – every element form it represents something of deep importance in the story.

First of all, thank you Michelle Warren for sending me the books in this series for review. I really appreciate it.
On to the review:
It's been a while since I read the last book in the series, Protecting Truth. I read that one last year and I honestly have no idea how I waited a year to continue reading the series.
Before I talk about the book in details, let me just say: Thank you Michelle for recapping previous books in the series very well in this book. You don't need to reread them to remember what happens. You will be naturally reminded as you start reading.
I really enjoyed the last book in the Seraphina Parrish trilogy for several reasons:
1-Characters: I really liked the characters in this series. They're funny, they're persistent, and they're funny.
a)Seraphina: Seraphina has lived in a world where she has been manipulated all her life. It's nice to read the story from her perspective and see her thought process. She isn't predictable.
The Animate: Hands down, this is my favorite character in the whole series. I won't reveal the identity of this character so that I don't spoil the series but this character is amazing. Funny, loyal, and smart, the Animate had me rooting for their success all the time.
I have to also add that I love how the Animate is on the cover on Seraphina's shoulder. I feel it is very significant and clearly depicts his characteristics--a watcher at all times.
2-The World: There's something very fascinating about the Wandering world. It's mysterious, it's fascinating, it's magical, and it's challenging. Let's not forget the magnificent quote by J.R.R Tolkien's quote, "Not all those who wander are lost," when we think about this world. I think Michelle did a fantastic job explaining the world and of course, creating it. I could visualize everything so vividly.
3-The Plot: Oh boy. Get prepared for so many plot twists here. Oh and I especially loved the parts where Seraphina went back to the past to fulfill her mission. It was great seeing Old Egypt. And that part with the painting? HELL YEAH!
Overall, I really enjoyed this series. I'm very glad to have come across this series because it truly has been a great adventure. I normally don't read self-published books, but I am really glad I read this series. Michelle Warren is without a doubt a talented author.
And for the love of God, can we appreciate these amazing covers? Seriously, they're beautiful!
4.5/5

The Seraphina Parrish Trilogy is one of the best series that I have ever read. In "Wander Dust" you are introduced to Sera and her wonderful world of time travel. In "Protecting Truth" Sera learns the truth about Bishop and she falls in love with his twin brother, Turner. In "Seeing Light" Sera discovers that she has to complete an ancient prophecy in order to save those she loves and the world she has learned to call her own.
After finishing "Protecting Truth" I had very high expectations for "Seeing Light". Turner was the perfect book boyfriend. I was heart broken was Michelle Warren killed him off. Without giving anything away...Warren is able to write the perfect ending for Sera and her friends. Sera has a happily ever after, which we all crave when we read YA books.
Throughout "Protecting Truth" Sera kicks some massive butt. She is one of the few YA girls that actually fights. She fights for what she believes in and does a great job at doing it. She discovers massive secrets about her life and the world that she lives in but she is still able to fight. She is a very strong character who I enjoyed reading about since "Wander Dust". I am very sad that this series is over but I feel that Michelle Warren ended the series perfectly. Great job Warren! I can't wait to read more books from you.

I have to be honest, idk why I have an issue with the full resolution at the end. Like, she gets her love interest, the world is saved, the people are saved, and the bad guys are absolutely diminished to nothing. I can't think of any plot holes or missing pieces and I'm just confused why I am unsure if I legitimately enjoyed the ending, it was everything I wanted! Maybe it just all came to an end too quickly for my personal taste? But how would I have the ending be different, I don't have an answer (and when I dislike the ending of a book, I usually have it all constructed in my head how I would have wanted it).
I basically read this trilogy within a week altogether. I was absolutely enthralled with the series for sure, it's probably going on my list of favorites.
Michelle, I'm sorry there's not many reviews yet for your fabulous series. You had me whooping and yelling at my Kindle at every twist and turn in each book. Rooting for Bishop and Sera, and somehow, changing my opinion so quickly to root for Turner and Sera. I feel a special connection with the twins, as both of them have similarities with my husband. Your romantic writing was lovely and the perfect amount of "spice" so that I could enjoy it without feeling... Well, gross. Your combination of fantasy and sci-fi was fantastic, and I'm sad the world you created has ended with the completed trilogy. This series is one to be proud of. Thank you for writing it!

I received an e-ARC copy of this book for a blog tour in return for an honest review. I absolutely love happy endings. *Sniffling* this was by far the best book of the whole series. I loved every single minute of it. Of course, I am quite sad that this journey is over, but I had a lot of moments where I was shocked, awed, and intrigued at the way the author wrote this story. All the twists and turns kept me glued from beginning to end. This is definitely a RECOMMENDED MUST READ for all ages to enjoy. I will forever treasure and re-read this books again. It will sure surprise and entrance you just as it has done to me. A memorable story that has reached my top 10 awesome reads for 2013.

Complete
It gave a complete sense of fulfilling the complete story, there was a beginning, middle, and ending. And it had enough reality in the story so you felt you were watching it as you read of

Amazing
This book along with books 1 & 2 were a rollercoaster. Seeing Light was a great end to the trilogy. Really enjoyed this trilogy!!

Let's Talk About The Cover
If you've read my past reviews on this trilogy, you'll realize that I've never been a huge fan of these particular book covers. They were always semi-cheesy and seemed really young for the content you'd get inside. But this cover changes all of that completely. I think it is stunning, poignant (once you read the book) and makes a lot of sense when you think about Sera's journey.
Looking at all three covers side by side (see below), you can see that this is the first cover where Seraphina (aka Sera) seems confident, determined and poised to take on the world on her own. Even though you can't see her face, you just know that she's ready to kick some ass!
The End of an Epic Adventure
I think what will make me the saddest about this trilogy is that all of our time travel must come to an end. One of the most fantastic (and drool-worthy) parts of these stories is the fact that Sera and all of her classmates are mandated to dress up in time-appropriate clothing and "wander" to all these different time periods that are beautifully written. Trust me. when you work all day in New York City, these books are the greatest escape!
I can honestly say that I will miss our characters' time-traveling adventures and all the ways they should have messed with the time travel continuum but conveniently didn't, LOL
The Story
In my opinion, Seeing Light was better than Protecting Truth, but still not as good as Wanderdust. Although, it could be that Wanderdust was so new and fascinating that nothing would have ever compared.
The story focused on Sera and her ability to get over tragedy after tragedy that has befallen her in the previous two books. She also has to deal with the fact that she has been constantly lied to by those closest to her. And on top of all that, she doesn't even know if she is actually in love with her protector, Bishop, or if that's just the way she has been programmed to feel. Her character goes through so much change and growth in this one book, that you almost want to tell her to just give up! It's so much for one person to bear!
But Sera never gives up -- and this is what is so fantastic about her character. She continues to defy the odds by acting in ways that no one would ever think of and remaining true to herself no matter what obstacles stand in her way. When the situation seems sure to be hopeless, you'll look around and find that Sera has found the only spark of light left -- the only glimmer of hope -- and she will use that to turn the entire situation on its head. It's pretty great :)
My Only Critique
I found this novel to be the most predictable of them all. I could see what was coming before we got there and I think that bothered me more than it should have. But on the other hand, it could be that I knew what was coming because I knew Sera as a character so well. I knew how she would react in certain situations.
This entire trilogy has been such fun to read and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a good read, a great escape, stunning visuals and a passionate heroine.

Want to find out if you are a Wanderer, Seer or Protector? Head over to my blog tour stop and take the quiz!
The must read conclusion to the Seraphina Parrish Trilogy! A perfect wrap up to a remarkable series.
We end Protecting Truth with a mountain of questions. And now, as soon as we get into Seeing Light most of our questions are answered! The biggest question that we have is what is this Prophecy?
In the first chapters we are introduced to some old characters that show a completely new side of them. If we weren't so hungry for answers, then we would have been a bit shocked at a few people's complete change in character.
Just like in the previous two books, we can't guess what is going to happen and it comes straight at us, leaving us shocked and desperately clinging on for more.
Like in Wander Dust, we started to get a bit confused with the time that Sera is in etc. There is a lot more time travel in this book than there was in Protecting Truth, so we do need to try and keep up with all of the jumps in and out of time.
At the end of this book, everything gets tied up perfectly. We really come to understand everything and everyone in Sera's life and their actions (her dad, mum etc). There were literally no questions left unanswered, making this and ending that we love, yet hate because the series is ending.
When you finish this book and you look back in the series, you start to realize just how everything pieces together so seamlessly. I highly recommend that you read the whole trilogy together, one after the other. You realize just how nicely everything fits together and will really enjoy this series.
There really isn't anything lacking in this book, as I've already said, it completely sums up the series and leaves you wanting to re-read it all again from the first book right to the third.

Oh my freaking God! I LOVED this volume in the Seraphina Parrish trilogy! Can I possibly say anymore?
Michelle Warren wrapped everything up phenomenally in this epic conclusion to the trilogy, while at the same time produced some twists that kept me on my toes.
This was my first time reading this book of the trilogy, and I kid you not I actually thought that Turner had died at the end of Protecting Truth. I was so heart broken reading the beginning of this one knowing that he wouldn’t be there. But then just like Sera I had that strange pull with Hologram Turner!
I personally did not see any of the twists on the world evolve like they did. Normally when you read a story you can kind of have a sense of foreshadowing, or that something is part of a bigger picture? Yeah, I did not have that what so ever while reading this series at all! And while kept reading the story I could kind of piece together some stuff that was mentioned but not touched upon too much. An example is when we learn that because Sera was developing each of the three abilities she was drawing from each of her team mates, and inadvertently “draining” them of their abilities. And of course how she is just like her mother. Reflecting on Mona discussing with Sera from the first book Wander Dust that since Mona’s Wander left she didn’t have full ability of Sight anymore. I clued in quickly enough to figure out that Eliza had probably “drained” Mona of her ability.
There were some things that left me in question. For another example when Sera is talking with her mother Eliza mentiones that Joe (Bishop and Turner’s dad) had a twin brother, with whom she felt that romantic pull with while she was in high school. But, he is never mentioned again like if he’s alive or not. For a second I contemplated that he might some how be the Grand Master….
Speaking of which…So did not see that twist at the end with that alliance..and I’m glad both of them are gone….and the explanation of CeCe’s connection to Sera. VERY nice.
AND OMG TURNER CAME BACK!!! WHOOT!!! I am so happy that our girl Sera got her happy ending!

Off to find Terease locked up in Nocturna, Seraphina is determine to set everyone free out of there and saved the innocent people. However, in order for her to do what she has been prepared for all along, she needs to know the whole truth about her mother and who she truly is.
What's more - the fascinating fact that the root of everything of why the events turned out bad at all for the characters was because of how it has gone awry in the beginning. It wasn't been fixed in an instant the event happened. For me, at first it doesn't truly make sense until I have the whole picture slowly reveals itself.
I sometimes kind of like have that tendency that I just couldn't accept my wrongdoing so I start blaming others. Hence, I've also learned that in order for things to turn out the way we want them to be, we must first fix ourselves. Accepting mistakes. Looking at ourselves first before we judge others because sometimes it may not be the people, it might've been just ourselves all along who got it all wrong.
The characters are fearless for standing up for what they believed in, in which that their future are going to be controlled by them and no one else. I'm also happy that Seraphina and her father's relationship has been better and stronger between them than before. What they had to go through together was a sign of how much improvement in their relationship had been. I'm truly glad they they patched things up, eventually.
A well-written and organized conclusion to the trilogy. I'm really happy as it's as intriguing as I thought it would be when it comes towards the end! The unexpected turn of events are truly astonishing. Definitely unpredictable after many theories that I've come up with, I wouldn't have guess the ending. I enjoyed reading Seeing Light.

What's more - the fascinating fact that the root of everything of why the events turned out bad at all for the characters was because of how it has gone awry in the beginning. It wasn't been fixed in an instant the event happened. For me, at first it doesn't truly make sense until I have the whole picture slowly reveals itself.
I sometimes kind of like have that tendency that I just couldn't accept my wrongdoing so I start blaming others. Hence, I've also learned that in order for things to turn out the way we want them to be, we must first fix ourselves. Accepting mistakes. Looking at ourselves first before we judge others because sometimes it may not be the people, it might've been just ourselves all along who got it all wrong.
The characters are fearless for standing up for what they believed in, in which that their future are going to be controlled by them and no one else. I'm also happy that Seraphina and her father's relationship has been better and stronger between them than before. What they had to go through together was a sign of how much improvement in their relationship had been. I'm truly glad they they patched things up, eventually.
A well-written and organized conclusion to the trilogy. I'm really happy as it's as intriguing as I thought it would be when it comes towards the end! The unexpected turn of events are truly astonishing. Definitely unpredictable after many theories that I've come up with, I wouldn't have guess the ending. I enjoyed reading Seeing Light.

As with all my reviews on books of a series...please do not read this review if you haven't read the previous 2 books!
If going to hell and back is what Sera has to do, then so be it. Nocturna is hell, but it holds the answers Sera seeks. What she finds there is beyond anything she ever imagined. But it is who she finds there that is a game changer. Now there is added pressure to righting the wrongs of the Society. Even though the outcome of their future is uncertain, this is something Sera has to do. Thankfully she doesn't have to go it alone...she has the help of her team.
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I held out hope for Turner and was rewarded greatly... in the form of a Hologram. Ok, so it isn't the real thing. But hey, it is better than no Turner, am I right? I fell so in love with him in the last book and was absolutely devastated when he died. But I held out hope that we hadn't seen the last of him. And Warren pulled an Ace out of her fictional sleeve and Boom! Hologram Turner. But that is all I am saying. Read the book and see why I love that he is back, sort of.
This story blew me away. I loved everything about it, even though some of it was a tad bit confusing. (All the different wandering and how some people came to be and what not.) But it didn't stop me from giving all my love to the story. Yes, LOVED this book so much! Warren ended this amazing series with such an amazing book. We get the answers we've been craving from the beginning and how it all ends will just astound you.
If you have been following this series from the beginning then you are probably itching to read this one. And rightly so. You will want to read it to see how it all ends and I can promise you this....you will love every minute of it. Lives will be jeopardized, romance will be had, and the suspense will have your heart hammering in your chest! 5 Wonderful Stars!!

Check out my blog post for this book! Includes book trailers, teaser pics, a quiz, book info, and for a limited time, a giveaway!! Check it out here!
Wow, what an ending! This book had me sitting completely on the edge of my seat, and even after I've finished, I can't sit still!
Reviews for the third book in a trilogy are always so difficult to write- you want to gush about everything that's happened, but also don't want to give away spoilers.
This book, just as with the first two in the trilogy, is so intense! There is so much adventure, danger and mystery surrounding Seraphina and her Wandering Team. As they dive deeper into the adventure they started in Wander Dust, they come face to face with shocking revelations, and surprises I didn't see coming at all. Bishop and Turner- wow. Bishop surprised me a lot in this book. Turner is a fantastic character- with each book, I like him even more. Sera has become one of my favorite leading-ladies, and I wish I could read more about her. In truth, I wish I could read more about this entire story! The amazing things this Wandering Team is able to do, the things they face, are fantastic.
The trilogy seemed to end quickly for me, but is one I know I'll read many more times. I would recommend this book, and series, to any YA/NA Paranormal Fantasy fan.

Review originally published on my blog: AWordsWorth.blogspot.com
eARC provided by author for review
Whew. Michelle Warren has done it again, you guys. Picking up not long after Protecting Truth leaves off, we find Sera and her team (Bishop and Sam) once again living dangerously. As she continues to push back against the Society, Sera discovers more about what's "behind the scenes". What she discovers isn't pretty, and her fierce independence (those in authority might call it rebellion) prompts her to join in the covert fight to right the wrongs and end the secretive power of the Society. Wandering to places and times she has no "legitimate business" being, Sera - and her team - realize just how deep the corruption and web of deception go. But even as she fights to end the way of life she and her fellow Wanderers are trapped in, Sera wonders what will happen if she succeeds.
Mixed in all this, there's still a lot of intense emotion from the whole Turner-Bishop fiasco, and the raw grief that broke all our hearts in Protecting Truth is a very present factor. I love this element, even as it made me sad -- it makes Sera seem real, human. She's a pretty gifted and fierce Wanderer (or dun-dun-duh: Watcher, and that's all the spoiler you get, mwuahaha!), and it's easy to forget she's just a teenager. She's still a kid, really, and her heart is warring to be heard. So watching her sort through all the tangled emotions, fighting to discern whether what she feels is truly her heart or merely her Society-programmed destiny? It's good. It adds a lovely dimension to an already incredible story. And of course, Bishop is amazing. Because he always is, even when he's angry and hurting. The characters are incredibly vibrant and integral to making this complex fantasy work, and Michelle has created people who I don't want to forget.

This trilogy is a story of love, loss, betrayal and self awareness. Seraphina Parish starts out as a confused teenager trying to figure out who she is and why her dreams are haunted. When she moves to Chicago to live with her aunt the mystery starts to unravel. Sera learns she is gifted with abilities that are both wonderful and dangerous. She attends school with other teenagers like her with heightened awareness and special talents. She hones her skills as a Wanderer, falls for her protector, makes friends and makes enemies.
In Protecting Truth Sera is growing as a person, a wanderer and a fighter. But she is keeping secrets from Bishop and the rest of her team, a decision that could have deadly consequences. Sera is trying to save her mother and while doing so, she uncovers even more secrets about herself and the Wanderer society. There is corruption, more lies and an oh so hot love triangle between Sera, Bishop and the twin brother, Turner. Sera's life is ever evolving as is her confusion. Who can she trust?
In Seeing Light, Sera learns that the secrets of the Society run deep, as does the corruption. Over the course of this trilogy she has grown so much, but she still has a purpose. I think that all the characters evolved in this final installment and became so much more than they were in the beginning. Mystery, heartbreak, suspense and intrigue overflowed in this action packed finale to a much loved series. I loved that throughout these books Sera and Bishop continued to grow and learn. Bishop is angry, confused and hurt; but he's steadfast and loyal. An unexpected turn of events and an ending I didn't see coming, made this both sad and satisfying. Sad to see the journey end, but very satisfied with how it did.

This is going to be another vague review while I try not to give away too much information about what happens in Seeing Light.
Seeing Light picks up with Seraphina making plans to travel to Nocturna to find Terease to learn more about her Mum. What she finds there is something she wasn't expecting, and it even shocked me when I read it. I actually had Seeing Light for a while before I read it, I put off reading this book to the very last minute, I did not want to read it and have this series end. I wanted to keep it alive and pretend it was never going to be over.
Seraphina really comes into her own in Seeing Light, she gains a better perspective on who and what she is, a better understanding of what she must do and the sacrifices she must make to achieve this vision.
An old face is back, but only in hologram form, and like Seraphina I thought they were back for good when I discovered the truth I was a bit heartbroken to find it wasn't real
Seraphina's bonds with Samantha and Bishop become stronger as she realises she needs them more then she ever thought she would, and I enjoyed getting to see this trio really work together as part of a team.
So much is revealed in Seeing Light that I had a few moments of jaw dropping shock, I never expected events to turn out the way they did, but I also love how Michelle did it. I was kept me on my toes wondering what she would surprise me with next. I loved the ending of Seeing Light and how it was all wrapped up, seeing people get what they deserve, both good and bad, with all the ends tied up in a little bow.

This has been such an interesting series to read, and Seeing Light is no exception! I liked seeing how everything came to an end, and there's no way i could have predicted anything that happened, or how things I thought were true were so wrong.
Everything really did come together so well, and I liked seeing how things really unfolded. Everything really is slowly revealed over the course of the series, and I liked seeing the events that led to everything going awry in the first place. Which I know is vague, but I also don't want to spoil it because it definitely makes you seeing the first two books so differently.
I really like Seraphina and how much she's changed since we first saw her in Wander Dust. She really is a great character, and I love that she has people can depend on. Namely, her team, and I love that they work together to figure things out. I'm so glad she could set things right.
There are so many little details that make this world seem real, and Warren did such a great job with revealing everything at the right time. Everything gets resolved really well, but the one thing I've always wondered is why this world exists and how it came to be. There really is a lot more to this world than we'll ever know, but there is that part of me that always wondered why they have the abilities they do and what sorts of things they do when they're done with school.
Let's Rate It: Seeing Light is a great conclusion to this series! So much happens and I liked seeing how everything got resolved...even if I'm sad to see the series end. Seeing Light gets 4 stars.

First of all, I really enjoyed the series!
There are however a few things - from my perspective anyway - that could be improved.
I am not sure how to say this without sounding mean, but some parts in the book felt really "fanfictiony". Not everything has to end in perfect harmony, which is also why I probably don't like the Harry Potter epilogue. I am still grieved that a Weasley twin died for example - not a happy ending, but one that remains in your brain. Def not a fan fiction ending :-). I was also a bit stumped how easy the Bishop love story was solved. After two books built towards this struggle, I think a bit more drama would have been appropriate.
Also, while Turner(!), Sam and Bishop are really well developed characters, I can still not relate to Seraphina at ALL. WHO is this person? What is she like? Is she brave or independent? Funny or cheeky? I cannot predict her actions or words at all, so every time she cried/ was desperate/ or happy, I was a bit confused on what is going on exactly.
Overall however, I am impressed how the story developed, not what I predicted at all. Also if you are just starting this series, book 2 is the best so def read this one before you make up your mind about the series.

I do love this thrilogy and I could not wait to get my hands on the last book!
I got it in a kindle version and read it all in two days. I enjoyed the book a lot as it answers a lot of questions. Even the ones I didnt know i had!
As much as I loved the book I was not totally happy with how things turned out the ending seemed to happen too fast for my taste and I would have liked to see how the characters slowly adapt and not just be ok with how things turn out without any complaints.
I did love the writting and the plot itself as a general it was fast to read and hard to put down. It was also easy to undrestand and descriptive enough for the reader to imagin everything that was going on in detail.
I reapeat, I love this thrilogy it is so easy to read and I thought it was quite original. The story line between books conects nicely so the reader doesnt get lost from the first book to the second and then to the third, It is an easy to follow timeline.

***** I received an ARC copy for an honest review *****
Oh Wow this was the prefect ending to this trilogy I love it, love how this turned out to be and I just want MORE.
This book has so much action and time-traveling, and its hard to put this book down, love it how in this book you get to see how the first to books folds into this one, its just amazing.
Throughout "Protecting Truth" Sera kicks some massive A**, She fights for what she believes in and does a great job at doing it, she keeps un folding more secrets about her life and that's just makes her more stronger, I really love Watching Seraphina travel around trying to fulfill the prophecy that's her life.
I love the this series and I am glad that I got to read all three books one after the other.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU to Author Michelle Warren for introducing me to this awesome and wonderful amazing books and characters.

**Review written for an originally posted on my blog, Book Bliss. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**
Review:5 stars
General: As with book 2 this is a continuation and you will find yourself extremely lost if you go out of order…however, you may be able to skip book 2, but why would you want to, it’s an amazing book. This book wraps up the series and I was quite happy with how the author did so- both story wise and technically. Nothing felt like it was tied up in a pretty bow. It felt real and justified.
This book steps up everything – from character emotions, action level and even use of the trio’s powers. I loved that about it, nothing lagged and nothing felt like it wasn’t as powerful as the events in the other book. I will say this one had a slighter darker undertone than the previous two but worked wonderfully to fully connect with the characters and learn just how Sera’s life is to conclude.

This book had everything. It pulled me in so fast that it was tough to put it down. Every question that the other two books were answered in a series of events that I had never even thought of. Honestly, out of the three, this one is officially my favorite.
I don't know what to say that won't delve into important parts in the book. It has that much action going on in the pages. The characters are the same, but Seraphina grows more in this book than she was before. In the previous two books, she was headstrong and didn't know how to trust the very people who were made to be like family. In this one, she not only trusts them, but also incorporates them in her planning.
We find out who is actually running the Society as well as where Cece came from. Yeah, every possible question is answered. If you've read the first two books, this is a must!

The author, Michelle Warren, starts the book with the warning that this must be read as a part of the series as it can't stand alone. Me, not often able to follow directions, decided to read it as a stand-alone and was pleasantly surprised. Although I agree that this fits best in the series, the story starts out at a fast pace and immediately drew me in. I could connect with the main character, Sera, right away and found myself cheering for her right away.
I especially enjoyed the world building. It was a terrific balance of our reality into a parallel fantastical existence. The small touches of history along with a few mechanisms reminding of the steampunk genre, rounded it off nicely.
The plot was fast paced the entire way through with a great blend of danger, friendship and romance.
I can definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys YA fantasy romance.

Well I finished the trilogy with the third and final book. I must say I am a little sad to see it end. I had a really hard time with the first 2 books in the series. This one was so much better than either of them. As always I will not be giving any spoilers so you will have to read all 3 books to find out for yourself what happens. I will say that all my questions I had after the other books were answered and it all came together in a great way. While Sera learns more about herself we do too and that is where a lot of my answers came in. I was so glad that I went ahead and read this one. It really was the best of the series and what a great way to end it. You have to read all three books to get the full story and it is a good series for people of all ages. Also, the characters all grew on me in this book and I really loved it.
December 12, 2013
Could this series get any better?? The answer? Hell, YES!
Warren doesn’t give her characters a break! I think she loves torturing them, and I’m all for it so long as she keeps me as entertained and enthralled as she has throughout this amazing series.
This book was a culmination of all the lies and secrets that surfaced in the first two books, but there is no end to how deep this story goes. Just when I thought I couldn’t be surprised again, Warren threw in the ultimate curveball, and I had an OMG moment. It was thrilling when the truth behind EVERYTHING was finally revealed. I was giddy with excitement. The sheer brilliance of Warren’s writing and her navigation of such an intricate plotline has left me in awe.
This series is outstanding in so many ways, and easily outrivals the likes of the Harry Potter franchise, and should not be missed.

This is the final installment of the Seraphina Parrish trilogy. This book, by far, has the most twists and turns, and things that you did not see coming at all in it. I had to actually go back and reread a few pages just to make sure that I was comprehending what I was reading. I really can't tell you what happened because that would be giving away everything in the book. Just take it from me, you need to read this trilogy! If anything, just for all of the twists that Michelle puts in the book. You will also need your tissues, I cried in this book. No, not ugly tears, just some sloppy ones.
Michelle has made me a life long reader! I loved this series!! I was sad that it was over, but with everything that went one I let out a breath that I didn't realize that I was holding. It was that good.

I had the pleasure of reading this as a beta,of course I was excited because I had read the other two and loved them! This third book is awesome! Warren you are amazing! My full review will come out closer to the release date!
Happy Release a Day!
This book is the conclusion to the amazing series, it will pull you in from the beginning and keep you on the edge until the end. Seraphina is just as determined and tough, but this time she has a goal to achieve. The journey that Warren takes you on will take your breath away, the surprises will astonish you. This is the best time traveling series I have read, it is filled with creativity, imagination, symbolism, love, friendships, and adventure. The journey was amazing, I am sad it had to end :(

I'm not sure why I can't give this 4 stars. I really want to, but there was just something off about it for me. I still quite enjoyed the story and don't have any reservations recommending it other people. So 3.5 stars.

This is the 3rd & final book in the Seraphina Parrish trilogy. Sera fulfills the prophecy of the Wanderers in a very satisfying ending. I enjoyed all of the time traveling and also admire how the author was able to answer all of the questions raised throughout this series of books. (Thanks to the Girls Heart Book Tours for the e-copy of this book!)
