Review
This is the final chapter in the trilogy, where everything
builds up to the final battle. When I started to read the book I became quite
annoyed at Maggie, believing she could go off on her own and travel around killing
the fallen ones using the skills Ms Beedenwig had taught her. Didn’t she
realise she was the last messenger, and without Eran’s help she could have
ended up eternally dead! This seemed very foolish and self indulgent on her
part she didn’t seem to take into consideration the wider implications of her actions. There is a lot of fighting/battles in
this book leading to the eternal death which I think was a tad over done. Despite
this Maggie, Eran and the others were able to collect vital bits of information
to help in the upcoming battle including Maggie using her messenger skills to
seek out vital information.
Finally after simmering away in the last 2 books Eran and Maggie’s romance moves up to another level (at last). I know they had to put their feelings to one side for the sake of the mission but a reader can only take so much simmering. Finally it took a few stolen moments in-between the escalating war for them to reach the perfect moment.
Gershom proves his worth once again and it’s great to learn more about him, his friendship with Maggie continues and he proves to be a trusted ally in the build up to the battle. Campion also returns I was so not happy when he met his untimely demise; I really liked Campion and would have liked to have seen more of him in the book. Maggie and Eran’s housemates along with Ms Beedenwig also once again prove their worth in their support of Maggie and Eran. The final battle wasn’t quite what I thought it would be (I won’t give away any details) but the ending is far too neat and cheesy for my liking and I was a tad disappointed which is a shame. In conclusion this is a good final book to the trilogy, but personally a little too twee for me.
