This trilogy is great for fans of Anne Elisabeth Stengl and Nadine Brandes. Fans of the series will definitely want to read this one to finish the story that started in Unblemished, though I’d caution them about going into it with too high expectations. It felt like a sort of bait-and-switch after the last book, although that might have just been because of how much I loved the last one.

Overall, I was kinda disappointed in Unbreakable. I won’t say too much about the Reflection(s) introduced in this story, as I don’t want to spoil it, but I will say some of them were familiar locations with a fresh twist. The world-building was excellent though, and I adore all the references to pop culture that Ella throws in. Also, like Kasey mentioned in her review of Unraveling, the morality bordered on grey and tended to confuse the Christian themes with fantasy. I wasn’t super happy with how the story resolved itself either–it was rather anticlimactic after the last book. A lot of what was supposed to be plot twists and revelations felt thrown in, without a whole lot of explanation. For most of the book, the plot wanders hither and yon without a strong direction of what needs to happen next. The plot didn’t really get going until the last quarter or so. It was hard to keep up with the switches between the present and flashbacks. The characters tend to ramble a lot, and it distracts from the story. While it was neat to get to see inside some of the other characters’ heads, it was a little annoying at times (especially with Eliyana and Ebony). We saw from a lot more perspectives in this book–Ky and Ebony along with Eliyana. While it was still a solid finale, it didn’t live up to my (rather high) expectations. Unfortunately, it only earned 3.5 stars in my opinion. I liked Unblemished, and I loved Unraveling, so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. And only the Verity-the light which birthed the darkness-can put an end to that which seeks to kill and destroy. But he’s lied to her before, and even El senses Joshua can’t be fully trusted, but one thing is certain. Is there a way to trap the darkness within its current vessel, kill it off completely? To do so would mean sacrificing another soul-the soul of a man Joshua claims is a traitor. ĭeep down El realizes she must end the Void once and for all.
