This series end has been a long time coming, and maybe my fabulous review is purely based on my need and desire for the series to never end!Although I definitely felt it wasn't the best of the series, I've never struggled or hated any of IC's work. Purely because she is such a talented writer which is rare these days. It is a relief to see Elspeth begin her quest. But at the same time it's in the complete opposite direction I had imagined it to be. And the ending left me with so many more questions that it answered. Who is the destroyer???!?I've come to the realisation that dameon will die. And I don't think I'll ever be able to truly forgive IC for that. But that said some things have been answered and I am thankful for that. Alas another release date pushed further away and by my reckoning the Red Queen won't be out for a while. Humph. What to do now? I have been reading this series since I was 13 year old, thus I feel like I have grown with Elspeth, grown with the story. As always Isobelle's writing is spectacular and draws you in from page one. It takes her so long to get her books out, that the built up anticipation almost kills me and I always plow through her books (although in this case I did read the first five books again before reading this one as there is alot of content and I wasnt willing to miss anything). I think given the whole series this book probably sits about fourth or fifth with me. I really loved the progession that occurs in Elspeth and Rushton's relationship (something I have been waiting for since book three!), as I definitely have missed their connection in previous books. However at the same time I was definitely expecting the story to progress a lot more than it did. Some people have labelled this book a filler, but I disagree because I think the journey in this book is essential for the story but given my desperation for more in this series I was hoping for a bit more to happen. Isobelle has stated that the next book will be the last one (although this one was meant to be) but given the progession of the story I highly date she can properly finish off this story in just one book. I cannot wait for the next installment!
What do You think about The Sending (2011)?
Anyone know why this book will be released in 2 weeks and why we can't pre-order it in america yet?

I'm sure this book will be amazing but it does not come out until July.

Everything I'd hoped for, honestly. And then some.
