I loved all of the action with Morganya and how those final battle scenes played out.

Some very YA heroine decisions that popped up here that I generally enjoy not having around. I definitely wanted to throw the book at the main character a time or two for how she was handling her relationship with Ramson too. I just would have preferred more screen time between certain characters. There wasn’t enough intrigue here and it felt repetitive until everyone was at last together. The first half was sooooo slow because of the gathering armies scenes. Ana and Ramson were separated for WAY TOO LONG. One of my biggest pet peeves here was the separation of the main couple. This was fine, but not the stellarness I was hoping for. *sigh* I always hate feeling let down by the last book in a series. And Morganya’s reign of darkness with consume the world. If Ana loses this fight, it will be her last. Her only hope lies in the navy she recruited in Bregon, the courage of her band of friends, and the cunning crime-lord-turned-captain she’s fallen for.
