This is Hoyt's brother's story and the Queen of Geall's. In other words the scholar and the vampire of the circle and the final showdown with Lilth and her army.
Tidy wrap-up. Big battle, unsurprising surprise ending.
The fact that the Goddess Morrigan specifically told 2 characters to pass a message along to all members of the circle, and they didn't seem to have done that, had absolutely no consequences.

This trilogy ended far better than it began. However I have to take away one star because the framing device of the narration is annoying and clunky.
Out of all 3 books, this was the one I definitely hated the most. Not sure why I loved this book in high school, maybe because I was a super impressionable teen, but re-reading it as an adult I thought I was going to lost my mind. Moira is the absolute worst, I could not stand her. She was so whiny the entire time, and honestly the most one dimensional character in the entire series. I know the author wanted her to be this relatable, vulnerable, and powerful queen who was also a woman wanting love type of person, but she was just insufferable.
Cian was also a huge let down. I really, really liked him in the first and second book. However, there was a huge character shift in the third book and he just became this insufferable, broody asshole who's entire personality revolved around fucking Moira. By the way, there was absolutely no chemistry between these too. If anything, he and Glenna had way more chemistry as a couple. Cian and Moira pairing together was so shoehorned in, they might as well have stayed single and the book would not have changed at all.
The final battle between the people and the vampires was the only redeeming part about this book. I wish it were longer and took up more of the book rather than Moira and Cian being horny for each other in every chapter. I wanted more from Lilith, so much more because she was supposed to be this big bad vampire queen that everyone feared, but again, she comes off as super whiny and annoying. There were some parts where I really enjoyed her character, when it was just her and Lora, but every time that annoying as kid Davey was in the picture I wanted to rip the pages out. That child got on my last nerves.
My biggest, biggest ick about this book was how the author talked about Davey, an 8 year old vampire boy, being a son AND a lover to Lilith. There was even a part of the book, where it was Davey's POV, describing how he "rode mommy (Lilth) like a pony" and I just about chucked the book into the garbage can. That was when I knew this I absolutely hated this book. I am glad to be done with it.

Probably the best book in the trilogy, complete with happy ending and all. I was kind of figuring that was how it would end, more or less. Since Cian was my favorite character throughout the trilogy, it was nice that the final book focused so much on his story. Lots of kick-ass battle mayhem made the book a quick read. I think it took my about 8 hours or less to read this one.
This was the best of the trilogy. It didn't lag at the start as much as the first two, and the romance was way better. The other two relationships seemed a little rushed and shallow in comparison. Cien and Moira had the entire trilogy to plant the seeds to a good romance, and it played out well.
This book also had the fewest jarring writing errors, which is why I'm giving it a 4/5 instead of a 3.5/5. I enjoyed the story, but there is no way I'm ever reading this trilogy again with how frustrating the writing of the first two books was.

My love for this book knows no bounds. Everything about the other two that bother me simply cease to matter with this one, every time I read the trilogy. I know it's not perfect but goddamn, I love it so much.
March 2018 -- I couldn't wait to drive into this book because I was looking forward to reading about the last of the circle. They were characters that were important in the last two books but we didn't learn a lot about them and I was definitely interested in their development and their relationship. I really enjoyed this book - having read it in just two days.

A great ending to this series. I always enjoy a well written "save the world" story, and the wrap up of the story in this installment didn't disappoint. The fact that we are on a different world is a unique spin that set this series apart from others.
I loved Moira and Cian together! I knew their story would be harder because of their differences, and it was. And I was hoping it would resolve itself the way it did--though I wish we had an epilogue or something more with how the circle wrapped up their lives.
