Week 6 Review: The Ever After

From Goodreads:
Amanda Hocking, the New York Times bestselling author of The Kanin Chronicles, returns to the magical world of the Trylle Trilogy with The Ever After, the final novel in The Omte Origins arc.

Buried memories…

Ulla Tulin has lost a month of her life. Her journey to learn who her parents are has brought her to the attention of the Älvolk sect—and a man claiming to be her father. But instead of a long lost family reunion, Ulla has forgotten her time there, and fears something terrible happened.

Sacred flower…

The Älvolk released Ulla alive for one reason only, to exchange her for a rare flower with mystical properties. Determined to break her amnesia, Ulla risks her life against a dark enchantment capable of killing her to remember the Älvolk's secrets—to use the flower as part of an incantation that will open the bridge to Alfheim, the First City.

Blood prophecy…

But opening the bridge will unleash a menagerie of monstrous creatures upon Earth that will consume everything in their path. Knowing she may lose Pan Soriano, the love of her life, Ulla nevertheless gathers an army of Trylle to stand with her and defend humanity as well as her own kind. And it is Ulla's very heritage that holds the key to victory.

My Review:
I enjoyed reading this book so much! After the ending of the previous book, I needed to know how everything was going to play out from there! And wow, was this a fantastic book, loved how everything came together! It was such a great read!

I was excited to see how this book would play out, given that Ulla and her friends don't have their memories from their time with the Älvolk. But Ulla did set up a method for her to remember. So I wanted to see how it would play out!

We mostly got all the answers that we needed by the end of book 2. But there were a few more surprises, and I really enjoyed how it all played out! There were still some parts of the history of trolls that they didn't know, and yeah, loved learning all of that! 

Man, but that ending? That was just utterly epic-and heartbreaking. We actually got to be in Wendy's, Bryn, and Ulla's head for that final battle, which was a good and a bad thing. Because they were all experiencing action, and it was non-stop action. But oh, that cost! That hurt! 

This was a fantastic read, and a great end to the series!
