It was such a fresh and interesting supernatural twist to the young adult genre and it held that freshness all the way through to the end. This final book did seem a little preachier than the others in parts and at one point I did have to put it down and let it sit for a few days. I've never been much of a Tucker fan; I've always liked Christian a lot better. Tucker just seemed too perfect and Christian was always the underdog who was mistreated even when it seemed like he would win. 
 So many things get wrapped up in this book. Everyone's purpose seems to be fulfilled and we learn some interesting things about some of the characters. We get a very heartwarming seen between Clara and someone close to her, which I won't ruin by saying who and we get an epilogue that is set 9 years in the future so we get some closer. However, there is something that we don't get which is why this was marked down from 5 to 4 stars and I'm hoping that maybe someday down the road we'll get it. 
 I enjoyed this series and I will definitely check out more by Cynthia Hand in the future. 
 SPOILER ALERT 
 I hate the way things ended for Christian and I hate that he is basically left all alone. He deserves a happily ever after too and I want him to get it. The brief talk of him in the epilogue made him sound so sad and alone and it broke my heart. I knew he wouldn't end up with Clara, but why can't he be happy too? Please give me a novella or something Cynthia that will make me feel better about Christian's ending
