There is no way that I could read and not fall in love with any book set in Sevenwaters. That being said, this was definitely the weakest in series. I like Maeve, but I didn't connect with her as I did with the heroines from the other novels in the series. The romance fell short for me as well. I saw it coming from the beginning and though it was rather sweet, it just wasn't the same slow burn romance that I have come to know and love from Marillier.

This was a beautiful and wonderful end to the Sevenwaters series. All loose ends from the series were tied up beautifully, and things came full circle. I found myself tearing up upon finishing because this series meant so much to me growing up and I couldn't believe that it was over. Despite this being my least favorite of the series, Flame of Sevenwaters was a strong and gorgeous conclusion to a beloved series.
