Overall I enjoyed this series. The characters all went through a lot and changed a lot throughout the course of the series. I think this will be a series that I will definitely read again. This story was the culmination of events that have been building since at least book 3, some that have been building since book 1. 
 The final fight with Calvin Malone was a long time coming, and often times irritating. Everything he did was so corrupt it was dificult to see people take his side. This is probably the reaction towards Calvni Malone that Rachel Vincent wanted and to that I have to say she did a good job. She did well also with all the political implications throughout the series. The south-central Pride believe they have Malone backed into a corner and he comes up with plausible oppositions. 
 The actual fight was well written and dramatic. Our characters went through a lot and sacrificed a lot. Even though losses were inevitable I think to not have them would undermine the seriousness of the conflict that was going on. There were a few times when I wished that things went better for our characters. A couple times I felt we were going through the same routine over and over again. I thought it became a bit redundant after a while, but in the end I was completely satisfied. 
 One of the other issues that was solved was who Faythe would end up choosing in the end. Marc or Jace. I have to say (trying not to give spoilers) that I was happy with who she ended up choosing. I wish that the choice would have come a lot sooner so we could see her be in her choice for a while. I understand why Vincent waited until the end it had that feeling of everything / everyone was starting anew. With hope for the future. So it's not a bad place for Faythe to make her decision, but personally I would have liked them to be together more on the page in a happy way. 
 Towards the end I became worried that she was going to settle, which is precisely what everyone kept telling her NOT to do. When she couldn't make her decision (after an already long decision-making-process) one of our guys made it for her. While I do think that the process of her choosing was drawn out a bit, I understand her hesitancy and the fact that there was a lot going on besides who she wanted to be with. But the minute her choice was taken away I knew who she had to choose (for my sake anyway). I think that helped Faythe figure it out as well. Take one out of the equation and see how your feelings change in either guy's direction. In my opion there was only ever one choice for her, and when all the love trianlge stuff really started (after book 4 for obvious reasons), looking back I can see all the subtle hints and comments that Faythe made throughout the series, and I can't doubt that's who she should end up with. 
 I wish that there was more to the story. It certainly left off with that possibilty. It's good to end where it does because it ends with hope for the future. All the readers can speculate about what will happen in things to come. Nothing is out of the question, and if there were to be another story I would read it, but it would take away from all that. I do, however, look forward to reading more from Rachel Vincent.
