Goodreads Synopsis
We are all one misstep away from being the villain...
Marianne has passed the ultimate test required to be a Mage. She is finally powerful enough to reunite the Twelve Isles.
But having exposed herself to the darker side of magic, Marianne is struggling. The magic within her is nearly impossible to control, and she becomes cruel and violent, mercilessly pursuing those who have harmed her in the past, ignoring the pleas of those closest to her to remember what's really important: saving the islands.
Everything she's fought for has come down to this. Will Marianne be able to fulfil her promise to bring peace to the islands when she can't even bring peace to herself?
Conquer the darkness. Control the magic. Save the Isles.
Review
I knew that this book would send me on a rollercoaster of emotions and it did. I laughed, I cried and I felt content. It was heartbreakingly beautiful and this series is one of my all time favourites. It is one I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Being the final book in a trilogy I feel like there is always so much pressure to get it perfect but Bex Hogan nailed it on the head and whilst I'm so sad that the series is over, I am so happy to have gone on this adventure with these characters. I ended up devouring this book in just over 4 hours! This book was perfect in every way. From the plot, the character development and the twists and turns, this book was everything I needed and more.
Marianne has grown so much as a character and I loved going on her journey with her. I laughed when she laughed, I cried when she cried and I became so attached to her that I could read another whole series with just her.
I could go on and on about this book and series but I don't want to spoil anything so go read it! Bex Hogan is one of my all time favourite authors! She's so lovely and sweet, not to mention her writing is just beautiful and mesmerising. I cannot wait to see what she writes next!
Rating: 5/5 stars
