My Review
Wow, what a way to end the series with the story of her daughter, and her family. The beginning was a huge shock that just made me cry because of how expressive and real it felt. After all that drama she had been through, the battles she had had to overcome, the love of her life was still taken away from her in what seemed to be a very odd coincendence. After all, it seems a little odd that when he gets on the ferry it just seems to sink. So you instantly know, or at least you uhope that something is wrong, that its not as it seems at all but that something else is occuring in the distance. 

The whole springing into the future was wonderfully well done and I loved the character Moira, because she just reminded me of Morgan, a feisty spirit, a girl who falls in love, and a girl who wants to do the best she can with her powers. She just seems to resemble Morgan a lot but at the same time you can see morgan becoming her adoptive mother as well. I really felt myself connecting Moira in the same way that I had connected with morgan at the beginning of the book. I did start to wonder if we were going to see a similar storyline of cal and morgan with moira and ian, but we didnt and I was thankful for that.

The drama that unfolds in this series though is active and full of adventure. It really grasped my attention and I just found that I had to carry on reading, find out what occured. It seemed a little slow at first but then it moved on and one thing was happening after another. There was no predictability in this book, it was odd, obscure and mysterious. you were left on tenterhooks trying to figure out the plot and the ending. I loved the way that it did end though, but I wondered if perhaps there was more to this series because the way it ended... you just didnt want it to end at all. a wonderful series, one that I will surely read again in the future.
