Review: Finale

Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

End of the Journey. My heart leaves in peace knowing that my beloved characters are just fine. This book was the journey I was waiting for. As in every saga of this genre and type, the last book is the one that expands the world in which the characters live. Here we meet Dante, the second in command of the Nephilim army. He tries to help Nora to be recognized and respected by the Nephilim, but he has his own agenda, which makes it hard for our friends to fulfill their oats.
I was hoping for Marcie to die in the battle and suffer. But well, as Dumbledore said, there are worst things that death, and knowing that she was feeble, weak and unwanted must have been enough for her. I have no idea why her mother did not die in the great battle. I also was hoping to know more about the other fallen angels and their destiny.
Excellent plot twist the one about Basso and how he bended the story to thank Nora. I like that here Archaengels and Nephilims are not so strict about the law and its toughness.
However the fact that Vee is also a Nephilim came as a deux-ex-machina to me, I never saw it coming during the books. I get it, it was for Nora's sake, so she was not friendless in eternity now that Scott died, but still, I could not see it coming.
It was a good reading, finally in this one I got more Patch, Nora could put two and two together and even when was driven by the actions of others, could overcome adversity and save the day. That was what I expected. I wish she could have gone to hell and save Patch then come back triumphant, but hey, once again, the settlement of the confict took half a book, and the action only a small fraction of it. I leave in peace knowing that they have it all. In the end, everything is fine.
