Alyson Noel finished this series off with a bang that made your heart soar for our two star cross lovers: Damen and Ever. To start, Noel did not get away from the regular drama, of Damen wanted to protect Ever, Ever is rushing headlong into a situation she had no idea what to expect, Damen not wanting to change his ways, and above all them loving each other too much without communicating or trusting each other properly. Ever grows a lot throughout this novel, finally making choices for her, and opening up to everyone, accepting the truth and blame for all she has done wrong. Damen, where in this Ever resents him the most, you cannot blame the guy. He is scared, pure and simple, of losing Ever to the unknown. After all he was used to knowing everything, keeping Ever safe in the lands that he knew. Now with the dark part of Summerland, he is back in the dark, and with Ever wanting to risk her life, that is just something he cannot accept. Noel writes fast, keeping this book flowing, bringing back all old and some new characters, and tying up all loose ends. The mini-story of their first life was a nice touch, and even better when reading again as Ever points out who was who, allowing the reader to go back and see how the character traits fit. With an ending that will let you see the good in the world again, Ever and Damen love is truly everlasting as they will always find each other, in this life and the next.
