My rating:
Blurb:Kat has survived. She returns to Athelia as herself, Katherine Wilson. Edward, elated at learning she is alive, vows to bring her back to the palace. The obstacles, however, seem impossible to overcome. Marriage between a royal and a commoner is not recognized, not to mention that he is already legally bound to Katriona Bradshaw, who will do anything to keep her position as princess.
And there’s even more to worry about. Due to an uncommonly harsh winter, the people of Athelia have been suffering from inflated food prices, and are getting irritated at supporting the small, elite group of aristocrats. An uprising in a neighboring country only adds fuel to the fire.
Can Kat and Edward finally get a happily-ever-after?
What a great conclusion to a fantastic series! I’ll admit this one was the least favorite of the three because I think the last half of the book needed something more but the story was solid. I just had very high expectations because of the first two. And there is two more books in this series, a #1.5 side story and a #4 but for my purposes I am done with this world. I got to the part I wanted and I’m too lazy to reinvest in this world for more. Too many books, not enough time ya’ll.
Anyway, Kat was her usual ambitious self, but I think she really found her flow in this book. She started to see things from every angle before just jumping in and demanding change. She started to listen to others and learned to work more in a group. I think that had a lot to do with the fact that Edward wasn’t around to save her every time she got in a pickle.
Edward was a bit stagnant in this I think. He seemed to be too invested in Kat and not enough in his kingdom. I mean, I get it, but their love was the big focus in this book which I always thought of as an afterthought for some reason in the other books. Maybe I was more interested in the sociology of the world than the actual romance but that’s just how I roll, I need more than just romance in a love story.
At any rate, it was a good ending and I loved this series as a whole. Highly recommend.
