That was a RIDE! I loved it, I'm sad it's over but perfect ending!
Overall I really, super enjoyed this book. Definitely my favourite of the trilogy, mostly cos I'm a sappy shit! I loved how the mental health and relationship issues were an ongoing thing. There was no attempt to minimise them as the book went on, or to wrap them up and tie a bow on them. I really appreciated that because mental health and relationships are absolutely things you have to work on and we need more media that makes that clear.
On the mental health front it did annoy me that the characters referred to struggling with mental illness or needing therapy as "weakness" and that never really changed. While it was definitely true to Damian's character, I would liked to have seen Kell grow a little more and start seeing therapy as a proactive, strong way to take care of himself.
The family dynamics were so well portrayed. I loved how Kell and Damian's families were juxtaposed. I also enjoyed that the families represented Kell and Damian's relationship themselves, eventually as a before/after. I thought it cleverly reinforced the flaws, solutions and points being made.
The shades of grey in the whole trilogy are wonderful; there is a focus on humans doing good/bad things or making decisions and then dealing with the consequences, rather than individual people being good/bad.
It's also definitely a book that depicts personal growth and the capacity we all have for change. I found it powerfully depicted how anyone is just a few decisions away from a different life. Which is such a cliché but still true.
The trilogy as a whole was a really well written and pretty brutal exploration of relationships; the power of communication and the importance of retaining your own identity. It made some very strong points without preaching, especially as I think most of us can relate to making one or more of the terrible decisions, small or large, and seeing the fall out from them.

I really liked book 3 giving us both Kellen and Damian's perspectives. After reading the second book, I needed to read book 3 and follow their story. I really appreciated how their issues were dealt with, given time and the depth the author have their feelings. I was pleased with their ending.

I needed more!
I'm mostly happy with the ending.
I'm especially happy for Kell.
I'm concerned with the counseling aspect for Damian.
I'm hoping for a strengthening in the relationship among all the characters.
I wish the author had given us more regarding how Damian dealt with his own issues.

you must read the others before this one or it wont make sense.. it was a good ending.. it was a bit off and didnt seem like the characters grew and became what they needed to be.. it wasnt horrible though and i did enjoy the entire series and characters so i liked it.

Completely different than the first two books, which makes sense or there would have been no chance for any kind of happy ending. Actually it was quite tame, surprisingly.

You definitely need to read the other two before this one or you’ll be confused. I enjoyed this one more than other two. This is immediately following the second story. It was much better than the previous stories. They got their HEA, but the journey to get there was a tough one.
