I was hesitant to pick up this book after reading so many reviews stating that this was a disappointing conclusion to the series. Since every one has different tastes, I decided I would form my own opinions of this book. Besides, I couldn't leave this story unfished and I needed to see what would happen next. 
 I fell in love with this series and all of the character from the very beginning for the first book. This series was a journey and I enjoyed it very much. 
 This novel was just about everything I wanted in a conclusion. It picks up where the previous book left off and it continues the plot and character stories. From the first book, the characters are constantly developing in ways that feel real. I was happy with the way the character where developing and with the way the story was unfolding. Although I absolutely loved this book, I was not a fan of the ending. I can understand why it ended the way that it did (view spoiler)[and I even enjoyed the story arch of the past, present and future being intertwined but I had a feeling that this was leading to a story arch of trying to change the past.<.spoiler> The ending wasn't horrible. This story was about trying to build a better world, free of judgement and violence, and in the end, that was accomplished. It was upsetting what the accomplishment of this goal meant for the characters. 
 Even though I disliked the ending, I still really enjoyed the overall story. (hide spoiler)]
