Honestly, this series has been way better than I ever expected it to be. Maybe because Rhine is one of the best characters in literature that I've ever read, I love this series and almost cried when I came across the last page of her story. It somehow doesn't feel like the end of her story~as if it could go on some more. I'm happy that in the end she got the ending she deserved. 
 I remember when I first read "Wither" and although it was great, there were a few flaws I found with it. Once I read the ending of "Sever" though, all my doubts dissapeared. You see so much character development. Each character changed so much since the beginning. Rhine endures so much. Cecily becomes a strong women compared to her spoiled self in the first book. Linden becomes so much for fragile. Even Vaughn becomes someone different by the end of the series. 
 SPOILER~ 
 Unfortunetly in a flawed world, there's some deaths. Linden dies. That's the tragedy of this book~almost like the ending of all the tension. Linden's accidental death becomes the final straw that somehow destroys everyone... but leads up to the finale. It was so unexpected and horrid that even I cried. Everyone is left shocked and sad, but I understood it. 
 I liked this series because the writing and characters were really... planned out. Everyone changed slowly and brilliantly. I agreed with it. I loved the ending. Rhine got what she wanted, her brother, her lover, and her sister-wife. I loved this series because it isn't only focused her her love-life. Rhine is able to make sacrifices for those she cares for. 
 Yep... It's really an amazing book. The writing and the story is amazing and not like anything I've ever read... and I think that's why I liked it.
