The entire series was amazing, although all the books left a number of questions unanswered. These were all answered in Paradise Damned. Also, this challenges everything that we believe in. Once again, it twists our beliefs, making demons good and angels (and God!) evil. If you can't let go of conventional thinking and read this with an open mind, you'll be disappointed. Thankfully, I take books based on their face value, never mind if they don't follow convention. That's why I absolutely loved this book and the rest of the Descent Series.I was prepared to be surprised and amazed with this book because it's the last one in the series, after all. I wasn't disappointed. The book was certainly difficult to put down because everything was going on all at once and I didn't want to miss what's going to happen next.Elise is a prisoner in the Garden, with Adam/God as her captor. She's on the brink of madness and could sometimes dwell in the memories of Eve as if those were her own. How the heck is she going to defeat Adam/God, the most powerful Being of all? Well, why did she even have to defeat Him, anyway? The answers certainly took me by surprise.James has redeemed himself, thankfully, but the answers to the riddle of his personality and identity were also a big surprise. And we get a surprise with Nathaniel, too.SM Reine is a genius. This book is a masterpiece. It provides all the answers to the questions we've put forth in the previous books. It offers an amazing wrap-up to a wonderful series. Great job!For a longer, more detailed review, please read my post at [...]Disclosure: I received this ebook directly from SM Reine in exchange for an honest review of all books in the series.
