It's a pretty brutal but just-deserved ending to this story. Bad guys get their comeuppance, more secrets are revealed and answered and the debts are finally brought to an end.
I really enjoyed some parts of this, others made me wince in sympathy/pain at what they were going through but I have to admit it was one of the better endings I've read to a series, even if I didn't agree with one of the authors casualties. I cried friggin' buckets for a good twenty per cent at the end. That person shouldn't have died and should have gotten their own book because I liked them too much. :'(

I enjoyed the gentle romance of Chloe and Milo. It was sweet and I loved the fireflies and treehouse and midnight meetings... sigh. I also enjoyed reading the cammeraderie between the guys and by the end, the girls and guys together. Like an extended family.
There was just a point about 65% where I started to lose interest. It seemed to be a lot of the same stuff going on and I got a little bored and then the drama hit--the one where boy and girl have a big misunderstanding--and I wanted to hit both of them. I know something had to happen but it was just so cliché.
I was pretty happy when they resolved the matter but by then I'd sort of lost interest in the story and was just skimming the text, looking for interesting bits.
Not a bad book but one not quite to my tastes.
