Hats off, this was a great end of the series. I would love to see more 4.5 stars, It made me cry so much, couldn't help not giving it 5 stars. [image]
Hats off, this was a great end of the series. I would love to see more of this universe though, so I really hope that Benedict Jacka will give us more.
It was a fun, witty, great, amazing series, with a very complex set of characters and a great plot. What I loved most was the mash of good and bad in the characters, the real struggles they felt when taking ethical decisions, and how hard it was sometimes to do the right thing. Loved the 'realness' of it all....more

Oh, and let's not forget all the plot twists, the action-packed books, and the really amazing world-building intertwined with action and characters and AWESOMENESS!
Yes, if you like fantasy, this author is amazing. If you're more into UF, this is a series that you should be curious about (UF type of fast-paced-ness but the amazing world building of the Fantasy, all brilliantly written). If you're into SF, this is still worth a try ;)...more

You can't not love this! [image]
If you've read Jacob Peppers before, you know you can't have a bad book with him. It's usually either an amazing series or a decent one.
This goes in the first category, at least for me.
I love underdogs and characters who seem to have no chance. I adore character growth and evolution, especially when done so well.
This was a fun, fast-paced, funny adventure between people who don't really seem to fit but end up being an amazing team. You see them going through so many adventures together and so many problems and they always come out on the other side, well... If not better, at least having learned something. [image]
This series made me laugh out loud and cry my ugly cry. It made me fall in love with the characters and the plot and find out, once again, why I love this author.
It's definitely a series that's worth a chance....more
For all you SF lovers out there, this is something that you can't miss. For all you non-SF lovers but Fantasy loverWow, this book was AMAZING! [image]
For all you SF lovers out there, this is something that you can't miss. For all you non-SF lovers but Fantasy lovers, give this series a try, you'll definitely enjoy it.
The plot is amazing, the characters are great, and the writing style makes this book impossible to put down.
It's been ages since I've read such an amazing series, and I'm so happy I found this! Yayyy! Go try it!...more

Oh, what an amazing, wonderful surprise this was!
It's the first time I read this author and I'm so, so impressed! She has a way of building characters and worlds that's so much better than most things out there.
This is a fast-paced fantasy series that doesn't lose any world-building, and this is really difficult to do. Normally, when you have this type of fantasy, you're either giving up the world-building or the action, very difficult to have both.
It's a series I'd recommend for any UF and HF lovers out there. It's not the typical HF, so don't go reading this and expecting that, and it's not a UF either, but nonetheless, you'll, at worst, only like, not love, the series. [image]...more
Nooo, this is NOT the end of the series! Or well, I'm really happy this is the case, but uh, I should have known and not start reading. [image]
I hate iNooo, this is NOT the end of the series! Or well, I'm really happy this is the case, but uh, I should have known and not start reading. [image]
I hate it when this happens: I check, make sure that the whole series is out before I start reading, and then I get to the final book and see that it's not the last one. Ugh!
Alas, this is on me, no one else's fault.
The story continues and I'm so happy to say: this series still manages to surprise me. I love the new plotline and I really can't wait to see what happens.
The fact that it's never just black and white, there are always nuances of gray, the fact that you see the characters evolving and growing, this is what gives this series a 'real' feel. It's so much like real life, there's never a clear path to the right choice. Bad people can be good, good people can be bad.
It feels like it's been ages since I've read such an amazing Fantasy series. I love everything about it, can'Oh, I absolutely love this series! [image]
It feels like it's been ages since I've read such an amazing Fantasy series. I love everything about it, can't find a single fault. Amazing plot, great world builder, incredible characters.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for a series they'll love, a series with depth, written superbly. ...more

I've said it before, but this really was one of the best war scenes I've ever read. It wasn't too short, I got to see everything I wanted, but it wasn't too long either, they didn't get into all those annoying long descriptions.
It really was one of the best ones, at least for me. It went above and beyond my expectations, so well done author, I will definitely come back to you....more

This really is an excellent Space Opera series. It is everything you wanna find in such a genre and more.
Lots of action, great world builder, amazing characters, well-built plot, lots of chemistry and depth. Everything you're looking for. [image]
If you've never read Space Opera, well, it's like an Urban Fantasy but in space. It's a good series to give this genre a try.
Anyway, back to the book. I'm writing this review after I finished the series, so I'll give no real details about the plot.
The series will slowly make you fall in love with the characters. You'll live with them through every good and bad thing, you'll laugh and cry with them, and you'll be a little sad when the series ends because you know you'll never read this series for the first time again.
Sounds sappy? Yes. Yes, it does. But hey, I'm really trying to make you give this series a try. And if I can't do it with nice words, well, read this first book and then come and tell me why it's bad. [image]...more

Those side characters that are way too important to be called side characters? Those people who are there to more than help the MC, but to make her grow, to make her a better person, and, overall, to kick some ass and take some names!
Oh, yes! Give me more of these so-called side characters! ...more

I got to see Guy more and see Brett's past a little bit. And I had the chance to understand Kat better, and to just fall in love with each and every one of them once again.
From a meh, decent series, these books got to be on my favorites list. And wow, this author manages to surprise me again and again and yay!
Ohhh, and, spoiler alert, we get to see VAMPS this time! [image] ...more

Ok, to tell you the truth, I expected a bit more of a fae fight or at least a little more involvement into their world, but I guess that will happen later on in the series. At least I hope so!
I loved the pestilence stuff, there were moments that actually surprised me, and some things happened that I really didn't expect. It's really amazing to see that there are still things that can surprise me in this series, great job, author! You got skillz! [image]...more
I actually thought this book will be boring. I mean, cm'on, going to Treth's world? That actually sounds a bit meh. I 3.5 Much better than I expected.
I actually thought this book will be boring. I mean, cm'on, going to Treth's world? That actually sounds a bit meh. I expected something else, definitely.
What I got was so much better though! We see her and Treth actually getting close to one another and he proves how awesome he is. I'll tell you, he started to get annoying in the last series, but now he's back and better than ever!
Plus, besides their relationship, the action in this book is really fun as well.
I really wanted to see her take the dogs back to Earth, but eh. It is what it is....more
4.5 I was telling you a few reviews ago that this series is a really pleasant surprise in a huge sea of badly-written YA books.
Aaand, I'm so happy to 4.5 I was telling you a few reviews ago that this series is a really pleasant surprise in a huge sea of badly-written YA books.
Aaand, I'm so happy to be proven right! [image]
What I saw in this book was the heroine evolving. She managed to get over her prejudice and actually grow up but not in the 'adult' sense of the word, but in the 'I'm wiser' sense of the word (I don't like adulting adults, btw).
We see a young woman who has no idea what to do but who is doing her best. We see friendship and empathy and a kick-ass chick. And most of all, we see A LOT of blood, gore, decapitated bodies, and really FUN stuff! What's not to like?! [image]...more

I came into this with zero expectations; I don't know the author, the blurb is interesting but not awesome, and well. I just found it randomly on my Kindle.
I'm soo, so glad I chose this one for my next read after a not-so-pleasant one!
I love it, it's so full of action, I couldn't put it down! I love the characters, and I absolutely adore the writing style (I'm definitely looking for this author again).
It's a series that's really engaging and fun, it has everything I want from a UF book. The plot, the characters, the writing, the strong personalities, and amazing friendships, and well, yes, some blood and gore, but it's the good kind, I promise!
