So, thus ends the Pennyroyal Green saga. I for one very much enjoyed the reckoning between Olivia and Lyon. Those two character have been such huge fixtures for the series, and I think Ms Long did them justice. I loved their characters. Loved them. 
 However, I did not love the story as much as I wanted to. Simply because more often than not (and I've noticed this with her other books too), Ms Long's talent for witty writing simply gets in the way - it overshadows the plot, the characters, the scene, every damn thing. This is problematic when one is trying to simply enjoy the tale. 
 Additionally, the weaving between past and present didn't help. I would much rather the past had been narrated in one chunk, before the present - I do strongly feel that it would have made the flow of the story stronger, and afforded Ms Long an opportunity to better flesh out both the main and background characters, as well as some of the subliminal plots. I for one very much want to know the actual story between Isaiah Redmond, and Jacob and Louisa Eversea. 
 Also, the epilogue was weird, and personally, I would've much preferred an epilogue of Lyon and Olivia instead of some real-time, present-day descendant I am not invested in and care nothing about. 
 All of that aside, Lyon and Olivia were simply glorious characters. Glorious. Incandescent. Amazing. The *characters* I liked very, very much. I did not enjoy the plot as much as I did the characters, though. All in all a good end to the series - although I want the parents' story very much!!!
