Unneeded information at the beginning of each chapter (0 more)
Ok I am a bit bias when it comes to this book. There are people who probably would like this I am not one. It wasn't the story I wanted him to write and I'm a bit bitter about it because this is supposedly the last Mithgar story. It is an unnecessary story and could have been an ok to good short story. There is more of the piecemeal to this story than needs be, as we see how each race and kingdom reacts to the High King being overthrown and the villains are a bit comical and in case of Nunde gross (necromancers are disgusting). There is little character development instead it builds upon the history and geography of Mithgar at the beginning of each chapter. Although this is interesting and does pertain to things in the upcoming chapter it is also distracting and feels very detached. Truthfully the writing tone doesn't remind me of McKiernan.

"This is one of the most bizarre, exhilarating, strange, intense books I've ever read. I mean all of this in a good way. The book's chapters are fractured looks at an even more fractured family. The book feels less like a story about them and more like a lived experience inside their psyche. Each chapter reads like a short experimental film about each character. They are beautiful, poetic abstractions on the human condition."

Enjoyed this

I loved Aurora's voice from the beginning. That first chapter really set the tone for me and I didn't want to put the book down.
Admittedly, I got a little confused with the Hex Boys, there were six of them and trying to remember who/what each one was was a little complicated but I think I had them all down by the end.
I'm looking forward to reading more of this series.

"Whimsical, original, hilarious, brave and addicting. At any moment, I can pick up the book, turn to any chapter (even ones I’ve already read) and be transported by the funny, fun, feminist, filmmaker/writer. I reread her adventures and re-experience them. Delightful and surprising, she bares her soul as freely as she bares her body and I’m transported back to my wild and woolly childhood, teenhood and womanhood aches and thrills."

How do I even begin to write a review for one of Kristy's books that truly shows just how incredible it/she is!? She is the Queen... the Master... period. And more Rylee & Colton.. what more could you ask for? This book TORE ME APART!? I was full on, crest wracked crying for chapter after chapter. Covers some very personal and difficult topics but you'll still get that incredibly heartwarming feeling you get reading Kristy's books. I have loved Rylee & Colton since starting the Driven series over a year ago... they are that perfect book couple that everyone knows and loves. Colton amazes me once again with his strength and determination... that and his clearly endless love and support for Rylee. While she was so broken and hurting throughout this book it was like a watching a dear friend suffer, understanding and not be able to help <3 Haddie & Becks, Zander, Shane and the rest of the boys, even the Twatwaffle made an appearance!? It's like coming back to old friends again... If you have somehow made it this far without reading the Driven Series, GET ON IT!? ABSOLUTE. MUST. READ!!! You have no idea what you are missing!
