I've read and loved every book in this series! I did not realize until almost the end that this was the last book. I can't believe it's over! This series has been an auto buy for me and is going to leave a hole in my "series I read as soon as they come out" list.
There are going to be those who don't like this book because it is definitely darker and grittier than any of the others and it goes a bit more into detail of The Lords of Chaos's (childhood sexual abuse) history. You need this to get a complete understanding of what the other characters have been fighting for over the course of this series.
I did feel though that Iris wasn't as fleshed out as I would have liked. There wasn't as much romance in this book as in the previous ones. And I so loved the romances in this series. I also would have liked to have touched base more with the earlier couples from the series. That said, the book comes to a most satisfying ending and allows you a glimpse at Raphael's and Iris's future. All in all despite the darker storyline, I feel this book achieved a great series' ending!
