Review of 'Embers' on 'Goodreads'

3.5⭐️

I love this series and this along with the Hidden Legacy series and Kate Daniels series will always be on my reread list. Especially the audiobooks. But the thing is I felt that the conclusion to this 4 book series with the Four Horsemen arc was, well, a bit disappointing. For all that the story stayed true to the characters and their growth, I just felt that the ending was a bit forced and anti-climatic. They left never narrowed down their suspect list of the Four Horsemen at all and the reveal for who it was was just not satisfying. I mean they suspected that person but that person was on a suspect list which never reduced and the reasons felt a little meh.

Leaving off all of that, the best part of this book was the interactions and decisions based around Asher. And of course the relationship between Knox and Harper. There are some great moments between them and the reveal of what Asher is was good. I just would've liked another book with this couple. I know there are more books in this series that are about the sentinels and Harper's friends and I'd probably read about them there, but I do not think I will continue on with those.

All in all this was a good series and after a year and a half of procrastinating and rereading this series I am proud to have finished it at last.
