Its what we have all been waiting for, the final installment in Ever and Damen's epic journey from century to century and from good times to bad. We have witnessed it all.
We know that Ever and Damen after centuries of loosing each other are now only looking for the cure for them to be able to touch with out killing each other. Both are set on this one goal which they feel that, if fixed will change everything and they can start enjoying their eternal life together. However, knowing how much they want this with every fiber of their beings, we see that in the grand scheme of things it is not the right way to go about changing their future. It seems that everything that has gone before has just been a speck in the journey Ever and Damen were meant to take. Now is what counts and it is everything before which has culminated in this final journey which will let them have the everlasting love they deserve.
Remember the crazy lady from the muddy, dead side of Summerland from the last book? Well, she is key to Ever and Damen's journeys to both find out their past, a past they both once did not know, and also seek out and change their destiny in order to correct their karma and bad choices.
We see Ever, usually the one making the wrong decisions and trusting the wrong people, having to show ever doubtful Damen that the path they are on is the right one in order to stop the same things happening again. We feel for Ever as she has to go on more than one journey and her strength and bravery shine through. We see how much she has grown and matured and most of all how she wants to right her wrongs so that she and Damen can have the life they have always wanted.
It all sounds a little cryptic, I know, but everything is about choice in this book, the final journey is the leap of faith, freedom and choice. Whether Ever and Damen take that choice is one you will have to read to find out :)
What I will leave you with though, is that the ending is beautifully done, satisfying and simplistically perfect. I know that I am going to miss reading about Damen and Ever a lot so I know I am not the only one who will be reading the series again many times to relive their tragic and epic love story all over again.
