A really satisfying conclusion to a stunningly beautiful series. I just loved these books and this world; the writing is utterly gorgeous, the characters beautifully crafted and the story absolutely breathtaking in its sheer scope and imagination. 
 Dreams of Gods and Monsters was perhaps a little longer than it needed to be and meandered repetitively in the middle (though this seems to be Laini Taylors style), introducing yet more apparently random new characters into the mix, before everything comes together nicely at the end. I will admit to finding the tortured starcrossed relationship between Karou and Akiva a little bit over the top at times ala Meyer's Twilight Saga, and can acknowledge that this is a series that is ultimately founded on an instalove romance, which I would normally intensely dislike (hypocrite Lily...). However, on the whole, I really enjoyed these books and would definitely recommend this series to readers looking for a startlingly unique fantasy cross romance trilogy that is super easy to devour. 
 Laini Taylor is going onto my auto-buy author list for sure. 
 Plus; Ziri... enough said.
