I wanted to finish this series because I had been enjoying it so far. I enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd book, I struggled with the 1st, 4th and this book. It was just a disappointing end to a series.  

This book is based of Faelyn and she is one of the last surviving witches. Her sole duty is to keep the protective barriers on the forest where the lykin roam – creatures who can shed flesh for fur – sparing nearby humans from their violent, beastly natures. When she has an unlikely encounter with the rare, primordial spirit of the moon, Faelyn finds herself not only the object of the Wolf King’s desire, but essential to his ability to keep his crown. She is taken to the magical land of Midscape, the Wolf King claims her as his bride to control the moon spirit’s magic that now resides within Faelyn. But Faelyn refuses to resign herself and the spirit Aurora to a life of servitude underneath the king’s cruel rule. Faelyn hatches a dangerous plan for them both to escape, and help comes from an unlikely ally. Evander is the king’s loyal knight, right hand, and Faelyn’s sworn protector on the outside. But appearances are not what they seem. He plots against the king’s brutality at every turn and helping Faelyn escape will serve these ends. But altruism for Faelyn and the trapped moon spirit isn’t his only motivation. Evander is hiding secrets, and they might change Faelyn’s life forever.   

This book had such potential to be amazing and it just fell flat in some areas, like the first book in this series. I was sort of hoping for the book to end on a high and it just didn’t get me hooked like the books in the middle of the series. I was actually rooting for this to be a sapphic book, because Faelyn and Aurora had so much more chemistry than Faelyn and Evander. Like they have to be together for their powers to work and for them to beat the Wolf King. I was rooting for them so much and then Aurora goes and scarifies herself like no thanks. Stay where you were and be Faelyn’s mate. I wasn’t loving either of the main characters, usually I'm rooting for them both or rooting for one of them, but it was just like you are both as bad as each other and if you weren’t mates, the day wouldn’t have been saved. I felt like the spirits talk was just glossed over as well and for a pretty big part of it, I was getting slightly confused. The book mentioned the other characters but there wasn’t a lot that was done, I would have liked to see another character within the series be involved with the big bad guy.  

I liked that Faelyn did have a massive character development and that she ended up being more powerful and using her powers for good instead of evil and that she didn’t want to be some big pack leader or queen, she just wanted to go home.  

I was just getting bored towards the end and there were more questions than answers by the time I finished this book.
