 The Forever Song is everything you'd expect from a Julie Kagawa novel: it's brutal, heartbreaking, deeply romantic and extremely engaging. Kagawa really doesn't hold back in The Forever Song, delivering a gory, action-packed finale that fans will really sink their fangs into. This is an extremely strong conclusion and Kagawa really keeps readers guessing until the very end and this is one of her finest books yet. 
 Allie is still recovering from Zeke's death and she's completely devastated; Allie has let the demon inside of her take over and she's turned into a killer. Allie and her companions, Jackal and Kanin, are traveling to Eden to kill off Sarren. 
 I think one of the most troubling aspects of The Forever Song is seeing how much of a wreck Allie is after Zeke's death (she acts even worse than Spike does after Drusilla dumps him). Allie is constantly whining, whimpering and sobbing about Zeke and it pained me to see how downhill her life went. Even though Allie's behavioral shift is warranted, some readers may find it difficult to get through her constant moping. 
 I truly wish Jackal would get his own spin-off series or at least his own stand-alone novella because he is by far the best character in this series. Jackal is the epitome of epic and he always manages to say the perfect one-liners to make readers laugh. When Jackal sees Allie moping, he says exactly what readers would like to say to her and he constantly is trying to get her to put herself back together. Jackal is so freaking clever and despicable that I found myself obsessing over his character constantly and his character makes The Forever Song a ton of fun to read. Even when readers may find themselves annoyed with Jackal, Jackal will win them over in a millisecond with a brilliant snarky line. I have never came across a character that I've been so infuriated and yet admired so much, like I was with Jackal. 
 The Forever Song truly proves that my love for my vampires is truly everlasting and that vampires aren't just another passing fad. Julie Kagawa has revived the paranormal genre after so many people have claimed that the genre is dead. There is a breath-taking amount of action and adventure in The Forever Song; the plot is constantly becoming more intense and exciting until it reaches the shocking climax. Though I predicted a few of the plot twists, Kagawa definitely won me over with the brilliant way she executed them. I am truly in awe of The Blood Of The Eden series and this is one of the best dystopian series out there. 
 How could Kagawa end this series when the plot and characters are so layered? I had faith in Kagawa and I was right to put my faith in her because the final action sequence is completely cinematic and incredible. I am still slightly annoyed with how one of the series's longest lasting plot-lines was resolved and it seemed a bit too convenient. Kagawa is such a talented writer and the way this plot line was concluded seemed like it was a disservice to her literary talents. This solution felt a bit like it was a cop-out, but otherwise The Forever Song ends in an extremely satisfying way. 
 The Forever Song is an action-packed, engaged read by one of the finest YA authors out there and I'm so happy with the direction this series took. Everything about this series is so rich: the characters, the world-building, the plot and The Forever Song successfully builds upon it's predecessors. I'm beyond excited to see how Kagawa tackles dragons in a modern context with Talon and if The Forever Song is any indication, I just know Talon will be excellent.
