Writing style: 3/5
Attention-grabbing: 3/5
I feel justified in downgrading this one to 2 stars as opposed to the 3 stars which I gave the other books in the series. This is the finale, I've been waiting for some kind of resolution/explanation about her ancestry or how she can control these powers that are so mystical and OP and it looks like we're finally going to get that. Damien's still having a hissy fit about being too dangerous and they both also have this instant chemistry that really makes no sense in context because they don't really know each other.
The most pressing question of the book for me had the easiest solution: she should just have someone wish to find her parents. It was right in front of her the entire time. But it was also like she had forgotten that pressing issue. I don't even know how it makes sense for her to have lost her family in the first place considering it seems like they are from earth? Planes walking as a whole concept was so poorly defined throughout the whole series and I'm still confused as to how exactly it works.
The resolution to the whole series was also weak and the same for both characters despite their very different origins. It made me mad with how straightforward it was given the convoluted nature of the rest of the books. I don't know I'm not really recommending the books unless you're really bored and you need something mindless to read.
