Customer Reviews

Not happy
I have read all the books in this series and I was soooo disappointed in this last one. It's worth the read just to finish the series... But I was not happy the way she ended it.

Frustrating
I was dying to read this book. I anticipated some amazing work on part of the author to bring her protagonist back from the emotional, physical and mental hell she had left her in. I wanted to see resolution of the many, many loose ends from the last four books. I wanted to a character who, literally, dragged herself from the depths of hell into triumph.

What did I get? More of the same from book four. Dante is still completely effed up. Still has no idea why Japh is with her, what's going on, what's happened to her, who's her friend, who's her enemy, what any of it means. So I was left with a character that is nothing less than pathetic. I just felt sorry for Japh, stuck with what amounts to an incredibly damaged permanent appendage.

I read and enjoyed the first 4 books but this one left me very reluctant to give time or space to any of the author's other books. I read Steelflower and enjoyed it also. However, its two main characters had many similarities to Japh and Dante. The similarities were enough that I wonder if this kind of damaged character and relationship is Saintcrow's "writer's kink." The kind of issue that shows up in the majority of an author's work. I hope not because the first 4 books were lots of fun.

Is that it?
I loved the first couple books of this series and was so engrossed in the storyline. By book three, I was actually upset in knowing that there were only a couple books left in the series. However, the ending of this last book was so disappointing and so depressing to me. The ending w/ Japh and Dante was just a fizzle. I was glad the situation w/ Eve ended the way it did but never fully confirmed or denied my main question about her. It's ashame because this particular book had non-stop action and hardly any down spots. It seems like the author tried to be to mysterious and went a bit overboard for my taste. I was ok reading this book until the ending. That just totally ruined it for me. What ashame.
