It's hard to write a review about this third installment without dumping spoilers. What I can say is that this is a fantastic series. It's so beautifully written. Read it!! I only have two things that really irk me about the way the author chose to finish. Jules deserves more!!! And as readers I think we all deserve a bit more in the love making campaign than closing the bed room door...end of chapter... Good morning ... Beginning of chapter. Plum chose to slip past two pinnacles in her book with easy outs. Aside from that it's a fantastic end to a fantastic story.
This is the final book in the Revenants Trilogy. It was did an excellent job of wrapping up things nicely. I love how we are finally seeing Kate step up and take action.
The book starts exactly where the last book left off (at that horrible cliffhanger!). Kate is determined to find a way to save Vincent even though his fate seems sealed. Meanwhile Violette is gathering more and more numa in Paris in preparation for a final war with the good Revenants.
The majority of the story is spent with Kate and company trying to find a way to save Vincents soul somehow. This was actually really interesting and I enjoyed the crazy magic Bran performed and how everything worked out.
However this led to the whole epic battle between the good and bad Revenants being incredibly rushed, I mean seriously the main portion of the battle happens in 20 pages or something like that. So, that was a bit disappointing. There was a lot that happened in the last little bit of the book and it happened so fast that I was like...woah...seriously rushed here.
Kate is an excellent character. She continues to give off a girl-next-door type of vibe but she has also become more confident and seems to have found her purpose. Her relationship with Vincent is still a bit too lovey dovey for me. People who are huge fans of Kate/Vincent scenes might be a bit disappointed because they dont get a ton of page space together...there is just too much else going on.
The main storyline was resolved well. It is pretty darn predictable, but there are a couple small twists and turns I didnt see coming. I was hoping for some big surprises but there really werent any. That being said it was still a very engaging story. There was more mystery solving in this book as Kate and crew tried to hunt down a way to help Vincent and less action.
Although the main storyline was resolved there were a number of side characters with unresolved issues. The main one of these is Jules. He disappears for large portions of the story and seems to have things going on that we never get to hear about. I predict a offshoot of this series featuring Jules sometime in the future.
Overall this was a great conclusion to the series. It was entertaining and well written. I enjoyed the mystery behind trying to save Vincent and enjoyed the strong and capable girl Kate has become. I cant say much else without spoilers, so I wont. The story was a bit predictable though and the ending did feel pretty rushed. Still, overall I thought this was a creative series and I enjoyed it so I will definitely read more of Amy Plums works in the future. This is recommended to fans of YA paranormal books.
