Rezension von Eileen Dierner I like the poetic writing style, but it doesn't matter how poetic it is when I can't care for the two main characters upon whose love story the whole trilogy is built. <br/>I really liked Karou in the first half of DoS&B, but I never found any connection to Akiva. Maybe I'm just not a romantic.
Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i> “Wasn't that what religions did? Squint at one another and declare, 'My unprovable belief is better than your unprovable belief. Suck it.'” </i><b></blockquote>What an ending! Although I had complete faith in Laini Taylor's writing and was expecting this last book to be amazing, I couldn't even begin to guess the direction this story was taking and the emotional roller-coaster she would put me through during the novel. In this fast-paced, action-packed, heart-wrenching last installment, she manages to tie up all the loose ends, gives us readers a satisfactory, if kinda bittersweet ending to all our favorite characters, while managing to introduce new pieces and characters and makes us care for them just as much. Her writing is as beautiful and lyric as ever, but that was actually one point that bothered me here - she uses a lot of metaphors to describe almost everything and that stretched out some things somewhat unnecessarily and it was over descriptive at times. But honestly, while that bugged me at times while reading, I can't say it was something that took from my utter love from this book and this trilogy. Mik and Zuze are still my favorites, I love how they fit in so well here and they take every strange thing in stride while being brave and cute and funny and overall amazing. Liraz surprised me here, we were shown a side of her character I wasn't expecting and I utterly loved. Karou and Akiva made me sigh, made me despair and hope and cry and I love their story to pieces. It is really a love story for the ages. There aren't as many plot twists here or at least surprising ones, but, as I said, I was taken by surprise by the direction the story went and how everything tied up to something we didn't even realize existed before. This whole trilogy became a favorite from the first book and I can't be happier with how it wrapped up, and obviously I can't wait to read more from Laini Taylor!
