Not every story should have a happy ending

4 stars

I'm bittersweet about this series' ending. Not every story should have a happy ending, and I'm glad that this one ended the series with closure, despite the loss.

The epilogue made up for the sadness though.

Not my favorite book in the series, but has a lot of closure. I’m a little disappointed it wasn’t the last one though. Looking forward to the finale, but I sure hope it’s not dragged out to 8 books.
