I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started to read the final book in this series. I WANTED everything tied up in a nice bow, I WANTED to know exactly how every character I loved in the first 2 books ended up, I WANTED to love this book. What did I get? Not what I wanted, but sometimes that's ok! The majority of this book was Ophelia trying to figure out what the heck is going on, which makes me feel better since I wasn't sure what the heck was going on, either. Who exactly was destroying the arks and why? What turned God into God? Were Ophelia and Thorn going to get their happily ever after?? There were so many complexities in the story line, so many questions to be answered, I understand that the author had to let some things go. But really, I wanted more about Ophelia's not so merry band of friends from the previous books.
I also struggled with the vast amount of detail and side adventures that turned out to be completely not needed. A good pruning would have made the story easier to follow. I'm sad the series is finished, I feel like there could have been two books instead of this one cramming everything together. Not perfect, but still a completely original fascinating concept and characters that I cared about.
