I’m so sad. I was so so stoked for this finale. Easily one of my most anticipated.
But it did not deliver.
Zelie’s magic completely changed. There was a brand new enemy all of a sudden. And we needed brand new allies to defeat these new enemies. All these new elements felt ill introduced.
The maji were no longer the centre of this story. They did not get the true redemption that was owed to them at all. Which could be on purpose in the light of the story Tomi is really telling. But it left so much unresolved.
The end battle was extremely underwhelming. And very rushed. Two short chapters from the end we didn’t have a wrap up of anything. Epilogue wasn’t even a real ending.
There are characters I never got closure for. Not once did I figure out what happened to Roen. Amari got a new romance after everything we were building prior to this. It felt like so much got left behind in the years we’ve waited for this story.
This story was still incredible. But not the story we’ve been building to at all.

That's sad to hear :( Thank you for providing such early feedback!
Noooooo 😩😩😩😩, I was hoping this wouldn’t be the case. But based on the thickness of this book compared to the first two, I was afraid this was what would happen
Given the length of time the publisher took to release the novel, I feared the last book was bad. Such a shame. I burned through the first two. So many fans of the first two novels disliked the third that I’m going to take a hard pass.
Agreed. This felt so forced. Like it didn’t need to happen at all. It feels like she wrote the second book which COULD have been the conclusion but the publishers asked her to write a third so she scrapped a would be conclusion, slapped on a cliffhanger and we got this cobbled together add on addendum of a story that really doesn’t have much to do with anything.
I just finished yesterday. I figured out halfway through that we don’t get closure for Roën and was super irritated about it. He was a pivotal character in 2.
Spent that advance and had to come up with a book or give it back. THAT is a classic plot in every novel about an aspiring novelist.
i‘m just so sad. this was one of my absolute favourite book series.. and to see it end like this hurts my heart :(( i‘ve been dreading finishing it because of my disappointment
These reviews are disheartening i was so excited to see a third book just to see such disappointing reviews on it
Wholeheartedly agree. And I hate to say it. This last installment left a lot to be desired for me. So many questions and it definitely felt inconclusive in the worst way. I need so much closure 😭
