My Review:
This was the perfect end to the perfect series! I didn’t even read the synopsis. I just wanted to dive into this one head first with no expectations and I’m so glad that I did.
Of course, I love the main character of this one is from Georgia! I’ve read a few new books here recently that were set in Georgia and I’m loving this trend. It feels, obviously, very close to home. I absolutely loved Lazarus. She is the typical feisty heroine that we would expect from a Laura Thalassa book. And, of course, Death is the all-powerful, broody male that we can’t help but adore.
As always, I love how much she touches on different existential topics and really makes you think about the meaning of life. It’s such a unique take within this genre and just really adds something wonderfully different to my reading experience.
I loved so much that the other characters of the previous books in this series come back in a big way in this one. I thought this book really tied up the ending of everything happening in this story world very well. I’m so sad that this is over, but I’m also very happy that it was a satisfying conclusion to all of the events.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves fantasy and romance! If you are a fan of Laura Thalassa’s writing, then you know exactly how good this series is and what to expect. If you’ve never read from this author before and are looking for a good romantasy series, this is a great one to start with.
