review 1: Just because this didn't get a good review by me doesn't mean I didn't like. the beginning half had good back story on Malvern but the present day stuff was hard to get through.. I skimmed most of it. I was so interested in Malvern as a child and a young vampire. on the other hand the second half of the book was opposite. I didn't care so much for the back story and loved the present day stuff. over all I'm satisfied with the ending of the series and still recommend this book to any non romanticized vampire/monster fans. I just wish this one felt more action.
review 2: I'm a little sad at finishing the series finally. At first it took me so long because I wanted to wait until I could go buy the physical copies of each book instead of just downloading them to my... more Kindle. But I got tired of poorly executed vampire stories serving as metaphors for forbidden love, and I started buying them for my Kindle. I needed these books to serve as a palate cleanser. Oh, it worked.WHAT I LIKED:I enjoyed the contrast of Malvern's back story with the current action. It gave us insight into her thinking from previous books and emphasized what a formidable foe she truly was for Arkeley and Caxton. And it helped me with my predictions of how everything was going to end. I mean the emphasis on playing tricks and not being "obvious" about those tricks, clued me into how the ending would be structured. But there were still a few surprises left. I loved how past characters were brought back into the fold and their fates were determined. Not everyone survived, not even some of my favorites, but it felt right in the end. I felt like the ending was satisfying in the character arcs that had been stretched out for five books, and it was believable.WHAT I DID NOT LIKE:The only drawback for me was the character of Clara. Yes, I'm happy that Wellington created strong female characters that did not rely on sloppy stereotypes (some still existed just like in real life but it worked for the character development, I think). Either way, I sometimes hated Clara. Maybe because I couldn't understand her motivation for continuing to love Caxton and rush to protect her when IT NEVER WORKED IN THE PAST. But if you are like me, and had developed annoyance with her, then at least appreciate how Wellington plays with this. At points he created complex situations that made me reconsider my hate for her several times. In the end, I got over it. That's a mark of a good book. less
