This book is one of my anticipated reads since it’s the final book of one of my beloved series. 
I feel sad and happy that the Fae Isles series finally comes to an end…. 
 
I really like getting back with Creon and Em again and follow their journey along with allies and friends they made to defeat the evil queen. 
 
I enjoy the second half part when Emelin travelled and ask for help to the humans and it started to get more interesting the closer we are to the final battle. 
 
As much as I love this series, I feel slightly disappointed with this final book mainly because it dragged on a little bit and most parts of the book feels repetitive especially in the first half part. 
I liked Emelin from the beginning, but I felt so frustrated with Emelin the whole time reading this....  
The final battle also ended a bit too fast, after all the preparations Emelin gone through the whole book, I was thinking the battle would be a lot more intense. 
 
Overall, it’s been a wonderful journey with Creon and Emelin. I really like this series, Creon remains my favorite character from the 1st book. 
I would recommend picking this series up if you enjoy high fantasy with political intrigue, unique magic system and a spicy romance.
