* SPOILERY REVIEW *

This is the last book in the Trylle Trilogy by Amanda Hocking. I was really thrilled to get it because I couldn't get enough of Finn. However, there's this very huge twirl of events in this last book that I didn't anticipate like:

• how Wendy fell in love with Loki. Yes, Wendy got a point. Finn did nothing to fight for her which was very annoying.

• how Elora all of a sudden showed love for Wendy when she's about to die.

• how Wendy showed infidelity in this book which I think is not suitable for kids (she just followed her heart I know).

• how easy it was for Wendy to defeat her dad, I mean they've been researching on how to kill the King of the Vittra and they couldn't find anything. She didn't even struggle. Then when they started fighting and something triggered her emotions, she defeated a very powerful king just like that.

Well, I think the author was very straight to the point. Drama was less which I think cool but I wish the war between Trylle and Vittra could've been a bit action oriented not just like what happened. You wouldn't feel that the characters have done something to win. I couldn't even consider it a war though the book says it is ongoing for centuries, in the story, you would only feel like it happened for five minutes. Well, all in all, I was satisfied with the trilogy because for the first time, this didn't include vampires plus the consistency is good.
