<blockquote><b><i> “Emma, I will love you with every breath in my body and beyond my own death. I swear to be your shield, your protector, your worshipper. There is nothing I will deny you. I am yours."</i></b></blockquote> And that's a wrap on another trilogy! I have to say, this is my least favorite of the three novels because I honestly think it wasn't necessary. I found the plot interesting, dealing with Galen's grief and fears, how it affected his relationship with Emma and all the stuff circling the town of Neptune and the Half-Breeds. But I just couldn't care about the new characters introduced, especially Reed, therefore I couldn't bring myself to be invested in the town as a whole. There's a side plot that, while surprising, it's poorly developed and relies on a cartoon-type character, and it's totally unnecessary. It could've been cut out of the novel without any damage to the actual plot. But the ending is sweet and overall, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this trilogy and the characters. Both Emma and Galen have great character development through the series and are both more mature and level-headed than I expected for paranormal YA MCs. They actually talk about their feelings and issues, not only between them, but with their familya and friends as well. I'm really satisfyied with the ending and am happy I pushed myself to read the second installment this year.
