 The Forever Song, the final installment for the Blood of Eden series, didn't give me as much oomph as the first two books-- the second still being my favorite, I think-- and while it was still great, I felt it flat most of the time. I'm also in a terrible reading slump, so most of the books I've been picking up lately, I've not had much desire to really read anyway (it's a tragic situation to go through for any reader or book blogger). 
 **Also, there might be minor spoilers ahead. It's hard to avoid that when reviewing a later installment for a series.** 
 We finally get Zeke back into the story. Most of my followers and reader friends already know I haven't been a Zeke fan since the beginning. He was a lot more tolerable in book two... I was even emotionally impacted by the ending there because I finally felt a mild attachment to his character.. But once again, The Forever Song gave me a Zeke I couldn't like. Much more of an annoyance than anything, to be honest. I get that he's upset... I just didn't want to spend over half of the book reading the back-and-forth between him and Alison on this when I felt like there were more important things going around the characters. It wasn't terrible enough to completely affect my enjoyment of the story, but I could have certainly done without a lot of it. 
 I particularly liked the further development of Jackal. He became a key character that I got attached to easily, despite his brutal honesty and sometimes hardcore style. Often, I felt like he was much more the type for Alison's personality. But I don't remember his description or how "old" he looks. I just have my own imagination when his character is speaking. Haha. 
 Kagawa also knows how to make you hate a bad guy when you really need to hate one. That's for sure. Characters are put through some hell and torture, and there's a lot to endure, and by the end you're likely to be left saying "whoa." 
 I also really liked the attention to details and ideas of family strength. Kagawa painted great pictures for the readers with her words and actions to develop a story about bonding, family, loving unconditionally, and sacrifice. 
 If you haven't yet started this series, I don't know what you're waiting on. It's one of the best vampire reads out there. Read it. Come on.
