A very satisfying ending

The fight between good and evil is finally at an end. This book was a little less saccharine, which I appreciated. I also really enjoyed the work put in to point out and then normalize The Different.

The development of David is probably my favorite part of the series. The unconvincing pairing up of couples was… disappointing.

No, I take it back: my favorite part was the last line of the book, for which I thank you.

What great story

This series is so great. So involved, characters are now friends. I really wish this series would continue.
