Buyer Beware!- and then buy it anyways 💔😢
It deserves 5 stars, for the talent of the storytelling, at the least. You will FEEL, as you read, and you will suffer with the characters and For them too. And what is entertainment worth if you don’t emote.
But you will not be happy. I was not happy, and AM not happy.
A Well-written, wonderfully told story of loss, struggle, heartbreak, death, and the power to overcome seemingly insurmountable defeat... but always at the point (and past the point!) of sacrifice. But I do wonder if that’s the author’s point- you can’t win without giving something up? Unfortunately it seems the point that came across to me was that even when you give everything up, you still won’t win. So you give everything again, and again, and then again. And sometimes you pull off a win for everyone else, but not for yourself, bc you’re not gonna get a HEA.
I’m glad the story is concluded, and the author deserves her 5star rating, and you should definitely read this series conclusion, but I’m disappointed, and heartbroken, and heart-sore. I could have accepted this wonderful book, as heartbreaking as it is, if it wasn’t the end. But as it’s the end, I feel cheated, dismayed, and disillusioned- and yes, some part of me wishes I had never read this book. I think I could have gone better in never knowing what happens next in the series than to have this be the end. However, this is how the end goes and the author deserves to tell the story she wants to.
So buyer beware, and then buy it anyways, and grab your tissues. Don’t look for HEA, or HFN even, but definitely hold on for the ride to The End.
