I loved the first three books in this series! I loved Kiran and I loved Jericho and I really liked Eden. I inhaled this series like it was air, I enjoyed discovering this new world of immortals with Eden as well as her struggle to fit in.

Even with all that I have to say that this book was a bit of a let down, I expected the author to give us more hints of what the resistance was up to! What were their goals.... in short I expected the resistance to be more that just some fuzzy back drop!
I also e...more

Oh...what a frigging roller coaster. I was cursing Rachel (In a nice and completely sweet way) at some parts and then jumping up and down and messaging my friend who hooked me on the series to begin with!

This book was good. Very good, extremely good. I have never had a book that had me so, so mad before and then turned around and made it awesome. About 70% through the book, I was ready to call Rachel on the phone and yell at her! :) But she is a genius with words and making you feel exactly wha...more

BEST BOOK EVER!!!! Oh man! Well done Rachel! Can I just tell you how much I LOVE YOU RIGHT now!! This was perfect! The perfect ending to a series. And let me tell you I think it is much harder to end a series good then it would be start one! For example Hunger games (my favorite) but Mocking jay(last book in the series) -ruined! And the newest the Wolfsbane book (Bloodrose) that was worst then Mocking jay! Anyway my point is you can start a awesome series but if you aren't careful, creative, wel...more

Oh the epic conclusion to a great series, but was it epic enough? Unfortunately, it wasn't 5 stars worthy epic, but it was still very good. The pacing, the story, the characters, everything kept my attention much the same way as the first three books.

I loved the resolution with Jericho, it was exactly how I wished it could be. Eden, however, disappointed me somewhat. I felt like her maturity level went downhill from the first pages of the book. I really liked her in the third book, but here I w...more

All I can say is this series was Incredible. Talk about knowing the characters, everything seemed so real. Like you were virtually there in the vivid places Higginson created. You felt what they felt. Anger, sorrow, and happiness. This woman can write. I look forward to reading more of what she develops. I highly, highly, highly recommend this series. I don't know what to do with myself now. I have this empty feeling, now that the series is over. How will I cope?????
Tara
One of the best series ever! What a LOOOOOONG way to get to the right person, and I will admit, I was cheering for J before falling for K. The ending was amazing, a little quick...and I would have loved to read about the wedding and the rise of a new kingdom. BUT I got my happily ever after and lack of sleep :)
Emma
I actually enjoyed this book. A lot of people were saying it was too slow but I liked finding more out about the Castle and the Immortal world rather than Eden's world. It was ended rightly in my opinion. Even if I did hate Kiran for the majority of the first, second and third books, in this one Rachel Higginson did his justice and made it realistic.

However, the ending seemed blunt. ,spoiler>Lucan was dead, the world was perfect, they were married, everything would be fine but you don't get...more

I absolutely LOVED the whole star-cross series from beginning to end. Even after I read it I forgot about it and just recently I had surgery so I have a Bazillion hours to kill just sitting in bed doing nothing. I've read so many books and have so many in my to read pile but I found this in my ereader and remembered reading it a while back. Two days and four books later I still love it.

Eden is headstrong and exciting. She's kickass when she wants to be but yet she can be normal as you and me. Ki...more

I really enjoyed the Star-Crossed series, though all four books desperately need an editor. My deduction in scoring is primarily for the quality of the final product. If an author wants us to buy books, the least she should do is get her work professionally edited. I mean really, "preface" instead of "pretense", to say nothing of the numerous misplaced words throughout the draft?

All that aside, the story was well-told, the characters mostly believable, and the action well-paced. One major except...more
Erin
OMG!!! I yelled and screamed throughout this entire book! I just wanted to beat the crap out of Eden. I started off in this series not liking Kiran at all and wanting he to get rid of him. I kept that opinion through the second book. The third book I kind of started to want her back with Kiran b/c her being with Jericho just didn't seem right and I felt that even more the closer the book came to an end. Then this book (Endless Magic) comes and I am more convinced than ever that she is meant to b...more

OK. This book was a huge disappointment. First of all, there was pretty much nothing to the book except Eden being stuck in a castle, and all of the things she does to avoid being bored. That, and her constantly trying not to obsess over Kiran. Blah. It was so boring! Sure, she manages to convert some people to her cause through not much effort on her own part. But really there was NOTHING exciting the whole way through.

And then there's the end. The first few books, even though they got slow in...more

I admit, I was surprised I liked this one as much as I did. I thought it was probably the best of the series. I guess I liked it more because the main focus of the story was on Kiran and Eden. At times I wondered how the story was all going to wrap up, the resistance seemed forgotten. Eden, while oblivious, didn’t bother me as much this time around. I guess she still kind of did, after all I’m not a fan of love-triangles, especially if you’re only using one of the guys as a crutch. Kiran really...more

10 STARS OUT OF 5 !!!!! AMAZING, EXCITING, PERFECT, FASCINATING, INCREDIBLE end of the series!!!!!
I loved EVERY page of it, the pacing was perfect, romance - swoonworthy, characters - delightful and even when Eden behaved stubbornly and irrationally - the author somehow managed not to appear her annoying - it was even funny, how she persuaded herself, that their love was dead. After the surprising transformation of Sebastian in the third book (and in the fourth book you'll be crazy about him - I...more

WOW!!!! I am equally saddened and overjoyed at the conclusion of this series!!! Saddened that it has come to an end and I have to say goodbye to this magical world that Rachel Higginson has brilliantly created, but overjoyed that I finally got some resolve in how my favorite character's lives concluded. I loved Eden's journey throughout this series, her ability to adapt and self preserve, as well as her self growth since the series started was amazing!!! This whole series I found myself struggli...more
Katarina
What an AMAZING ending to one hell of a love story! I felt my emotions all over the place with this one! I truly felt just as torn as Eden about Jericho and Kiran. And throughout all of my other reviews for the previous books I was unfailingly Team Jericho!! Now I am still absolutely team Jericho and I believe he made the right choices in this book but what surprised me was the fact that I was actually shipping Kiran!! I think I was on his side way before Eden was! LOL!

Anyway this book was grea...more

I truly, honestly do not know where to start. This series had me so tightly pulled in so many directions I couldn't tell you which end was up. But trust me, it was a good thing. When a book can have that effect on you, actually all four books, you know it is a winner.

What did I love about Endless Magic? Well for starters I loved Eden's character so very much. I cannot believe how much she has grown over the course of the series. From the moment we first meet her until the end...she is a differen...more

first of all 5 stars so clearly i liked it. loved it actually! however there are a few things that bugged me.

firstly i nearly gave up on reading this series half way through the 2nd book out of shear frustration. eden was sooo childish and selfish that i was rolling my eyes and begging the author to hurry up and perform some major character growth! thankfully eden does mature significantly throughout the rest of the series.

next . . .

considering avalon is eden twin and they are supposed to be a...more

I loved this series! Ms. Higginson did a wonderful job writing out Eden's story. From the girl that didn't know she was a future leader to the girl that learned to fight for her people.

What I loved about this series was that Eden didn't become an invincible force to reckon with. Yes, she finally found her power and could control the magic around her. Yes, she found the warrior in her. But she also acknowledges the forces behind her success. She shared in her leadership and I loved that about he...more
Claire Mitchell Tsamados
Okay, so I'll ignore the editing issues this time and concentrate on the storyline. I loved it.
Kieran's character has grown and it makes for a whole lot of tense romance and this book actually made me cry for a whole ten minutes - I honestly couldn't stop! And it wasn't even a scene I would have said was all that powerful (the one where Jericho walks away).
The ending seemed a little rushed, but if I am perfectly honest I don't know how the author could have dragged it out any longer anyway so my...more

After the whole which one do I want ended (about 70% into the book) - I was happy. I enjoyed this book, but I really felt it should have ended at the battle and then the Epilogue should have been the 5th book in the series. There was so much build up and then suddenly it was over.

A lot of the story was based on the joining of magics between couples and such. Also, another big aspect was changing the monarchy, and getting the shape shifters out of hiding. That was all covered in the epilogue but...more

This was an absolutely awesome series! I couldn't have been more entertained or enthralled than I was with this series. It was just good, clean fun and a nice meaty story.

I loved all the characters. As I mentioned in my review of the last book, Eden is the perfect well rounded character. Flawed, naive, and sometimes narrow minded ... but at the same time loyal, loving, and good. I also grew to love Kiran here in this book. I wasn't always convinced he was the right man for her, but this book mor...more

Phwoarrrrr. This book was awesome. I loved it. It is going to live on my bestest-ever shelf. I thought the first book was good, hated the second book, went nuts for the third book but this fourth and final book was everything I was hoping for.

After Eden sacrificed herself for the safety of her brother at the end of Fearless Magic, I knew she was in for an especially rough time, and that’s saying something because shes always having a rough time. Eden is now a prisoner in the towers of the Roman...more

I really enjoyed this series. It was an emotional rollercoaster for sure. It was an entertaining and different take in the realm of YA paranormal romance that I feel is going to eventually implode...lol.

In this final installment, I questioned the motivations and emotional responses for a few of the characters. It didn't all add up. For example, the seemingly instantaneous change of heart in many of the characters threw me. Whether bad, good, or moraly ambiguous...it is in unclear why some of th...more

Finally, resolution! It's been quite a ride, but I was very satisified with how things ended. I'm such a sap.

I loved, loved, LOVED how much Kiran grew as a character. Getting to see the man he became made me incredibly happy. And not just him...a lot of characters dramatically matured in this book. Sebastian, Seraphina, Jericho...I was proud when Jericho stepped up and did what had to be done. I'm looking at you, awkward love-triangle.

Once more though, Eden...oh, Eden. If you would just pay more...more

Definitely full circle for Eden. Her confrontation with Lucan ends on the same day and place they first came face to face. A beautiful love story for Kiran and Eden. I was having a little tantrum that Jericho would not get his happy ending with Eden but I knew that it would always be Kiran, I was just having a hard time getting over Kiran's betrayal along with Eden. I don't know how it happened but I fell in love with Kiran all over again even before the first chapter ended, it was so clear to s...more
Shalini
The plot of this series was good- a battle between the oppressed and a tyrannical leader. There were many other major themes however such as love, friendship, forgiveness and sacrifice. What made me so invested were the characters. Each of the main characters had definite roles and they grew throughout the series. I felt however, there were times when Eden came across as a little too bratty, seemingly throwing temper tantrums like a 2 year old which was not becoming of the leadership position sh...more

“And you're right, I do love you Eden. I will follow you into eternity, or until after this weekend when we all die gruesome, painful deaths... But with every breath I have left, I will use it to love you. Because, Eden, I want this... You; I want you more than life, more than anything. There was a time when I didn't think I was strong enough to face you again, or what is between us. I was too afraid of the heartache, of being shattered again. But now, it doesn't matter, nothing matters except you. I will take an eternity of hardship, of war or fighting my father, or anything, just to hold your love again. You are everything to me, my sun, my moon, the air I breathe. Nothing exists accept you. I love you.” 54 people liked it
