So there was a gap in my reading of this one. I actually read the other four books awhile back and hadn't realized when I started them that there was a fifth book. This is the final book in the Wings series. Thank you, Pike for bringing back the world of Avalon even though you took it away again.

This made me fall in love with the Wings series all over and I want to cry because it's over again. Other characters were also brought back which made this book very interesting and just kept me hooked. I absolutely love Tamani! I'm so happy we got to follow him on a new adventure. He is very respectable, brave, smart, and loving. He plays a huge role in this book and I love his character. THANK YOU for not doing that! We also get to see Tamani be a hero all over again. I was so afraid that David would make an appearance and she'd go to him. I'm happy to see that they are still together. I think they have a very balanced relationship and it's just so good for this series. They even make a huge commitment (which I can't say) and I got very happy about this big surprise.

Throughout the series even when they were only friends they always had each other's backs. Tamani and Laurel are each other's rocks still in this story. I find myself usually reading about couples who can't agree on anything and it's annoying. I adore their relationship! They communicate very well which I appreciate. In the first four books of this series they were not together so we didn't really get a chance to see how they were as a couple.

It was extremely interested and not only that, but he and Laurel are one of my favorite literary couples. What I really enjoyed about the book and what got me hooked was following Tamani's story. I felt the story would've been better without the romance. I felt it happened quite fast and in such a typical way. I didn't like the romance between her and Shawn. Tamani helps her realize this which makes for great character development. But throughout the story she grows up quickly because she has to. She was reckless, stubborn, and judgmental.

We also get introduced to Rowen (Tamani's niece). We are remembering the lives that had fallen during the war in Avalon. So ten years has passed and a lot has changed since then. To be brought back into this wonderful world of faeries has made my bookish heart soar with joy. I got into this series when I was sixteen and I finished it four years ago. I never thought I would be brought back into the world of Avalon.
