Review: An epic end...or beginning?
Rating: 5 out of 5

This story is easily the most intriguing of all the books in this series and I really wish there would be a fifth book to wrap it up and tell us what happened next. This book picks up where 3 left off with something tragic happening, but then we find out that it may not be as tragic as we first thought. We are introduced to Ralph's mom, Steph, who you find out, cares about him as much as Alice does. While Alice and Steph don't get along at first, after a while they do, and you can tell that they will have an everlasting friendship. Then at the end of the book, something positive happens, well two positive things, that give us hope for the future, which is great and fun for the reader. This book will definitely have you reaching for the tissues, even more so than the other ones in this series.What I love most about this book is that we are finally getting some back story on Ralph from his mom and the story is more rich than I ever thought it could be. Between what we know about Ralph and what his mom tells Alice about him, Ralph is painted into such a rich character that you feel like you actually know him. The author does a great job telling the story of young Ralph, how tortured he was, and how his gift was such a big responsibility for someone his age. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a story about hope or someone who just needs to read a love story, even if it is sad.
