Very Disappointed

I was so captivated by the first three novels; however, the conclusion to this series was incredibly disappointing. The ending felt rushed, and the death of some key characters was confusing and useless. I wanted to love this novel as much as I did the others, but it was not well developed and there were so many storylines left unfinished.

Do not listen to this book, read it

The performance of this book was great, but the sound editing leaves a lot to be desired. Many of the conversations in this book involve one character practically whispering and the other yelling. You either miss half of the dialogue or go deaf from the yelling.

I really enjoyed the first three books in this series, but I do not feel that this installment lives up to them.

Awesome but sad as well

I don’t want to give too much away just to say that I’m sad for them (Celine and Bastien) Much of it was heartbreaking but amazing writing. Was in tears for the whole last chapter. My family was asking me why I was crying lol..

Disappointing.

After reading the first two books, hanging on every word, loving the relationships between everyone, this makes no sense. I was drawn to Celine and Bastien and New Orleans. The Court of Lions and the romance of every line Renee Ahdieh wrote. I was emotionally connected with it all.

The third book came, and it was a little different. I wasn’t as in love, but it was close enough that I knew it would be ok. I was still optimistic it would finish strong with all the things that made it amazing.

No spoilers, but I was wrong. In my opinion, I am only left with disappointment and sadness. It isn’t a sad ending. It just isn’t worthy of the beauty she started with. So disappointed. I loved all the characters too much for there to be no real closure for me. I want a do over. Do it again like you should have this time. Ugh. This one wasn’t for me. And that truly sucks.

The ending was soooo disappointing!

I really enjoyed the first three books. The characters all had such depth and likability. This book made me begin to dislike some of the main characters, like Celine, and it felt very rushed at the end. I’m disappointed that I invested so much of myself in this world for it to end this way. Way too many unanswered questions and too much heartbreak at the end. Pippa was the best character in the series and her life was utterly destroyed. Not a fan of this one.

Bitter endings

I have never been so upset by the ending of a beloved series. I don’t wish to spoil it for those that still wish to read it, but it was entirely too bitter and not nearly enough sweet for every single character. I may have been okay if I had gone into this book with the idea it wouldn’t be a happily ever after, but I feel like the whole series had enough tragedy that I wanted something good to come out of it for someone.

I still really enjoy the first 3 books, just feel let down with the conclusion.

That ending??

No thank you. This whole series just wasn’t for me. The characters weren’t very likable or interesting, the setting was the best part of these books.

Terrible 4th book in a terrible series.

Terrible ending to a terrible series. Read only if you are a glutton for punishment such as myself
