4.5 starsA thrilling conclusion to an excellent fantasy series! All of the houses must band together to stop the Lord of the Night and his army of revenants. Between non-stop military action, treachery, and romance, this book has a little bit of everything and was a lot of fun to read. I only wish we got to see a little more of Ella and Killian together.I felt Maxwell did a good job in wrapping up the series nicely. Sometimes I feel series endings can be too abrupt, but this one gave us a good idea of what all my favorite characters will be up to in the future. And the scene at the very end was fantastic! I laughed out loud to the point where my boyfriend started giving me funny looks :-).Overall, I really recommend this series to young adult and adult readers alike. And particularly to fans of Cinda Williams Chima's Demon King series or Jim Butcher's Codex Alera. The Lord of the Night is coming. The future of civilization is at stake. Miro is in the Imperial capital to prepare the Empire for the onslaught. He knows his homeland lies directly in the enemy's path but struggles to form the alliances he needs.As the high lords bicker, Ella seeks Killian's help. But, amid the growing tensions, their responsibilities drive them apart, as Killian can't be seen to favor Ella's homeland. I love the strength that runs through all of these characters (both good and evil). There are no wishy-washy characters here, just well rounded ones that make you love them, or hate them / root for them, or wish for their demise. Definitely a good read. I never wanted to put it down, and was always amazed at how many pages I had devoured in one sitting.
What do You think about The Lore Of The Evermen (2014)?
A good end to the series. I'd love to read more about what happens next.
