Holy hell. Did that just happen? What.the.effity.eff. That book blew my tiny mind...I will not go into details about this book. I can't. My mind is mush and my heart is sore. I need to recover. I will just tell you to start with book #1 - Blood Warrior, #2 Half Black Soul & #3 The Rise."Everything that has a life must lose it eventually. What matters is that it was a life worth living."..."Is it Kayden? Is it worth living?"Kayden tilted my chin up with his fingers and kissed my lips, and the answer to my question was evident to me in his touch. "Oh yes, my Warrior," he said, his golden eyes burning into my own. "I really think it is." ~ Conversation between Alexa (Sun Warrior) & her Libra - KaydenIf you've read my reviews of books 1 to 3 you know for me this series is freaking EPIC. The final installent was no different. I had tears of laughter, and of grief.From the prologue. 'In the end, we all die. This is not of question. Inarguable. No mystery lies here. The mystery dwells in two questions: How long will our story be, and what will be left in the pages?' to the last sentence on the last page 'And with her note in my pocket and her love in my heart, I am able to live.'There were time where I literally had to set the book down and convince myself to keep going and rip off the bandaid really quick. It was that intense.'Waiting to be attacked. Waiting to attack. Running. Fighting. Hurting. In that moment it seemed to be such a pitiful existence; an existence in vain.'The ending, FMD. My face is puffy. My pillow is soggy. And my clothes are wet from the salty tears that poured down my cheeks, throat and onto my shirt. It was more insane than my wildest dreams and yet the heart break and sobs doesn't mean Ms Gordon could have done it any different. Where others would have copped out, she followed the course that was mapped & followed through on what we were all praying would never come to pass.'How is one broken thing supposed to fix another?With love.Yes, love. That was what I was fighting for. That was what I was living for. And maybe, not so tragically, that was what I would die for.'One word, genius. She writes a monster and the blackness in ones soul as if she has lived it and love as if she has plenty. Bravo Ms Gordon..."My love for you," I whispered, "may very well be the greatest thing that this world has ever known, and because of it, the story of my life will be eternally beautiful." ~ Alexa to NellI can't wait to read about this girl we met. Bring on Shooting Stars!'A chick that looked as kick ass as this, I may have liked if given the opportunity. But her next words said that there would be no such opportunity. ~ Alexa thinks as she meets Surah
