Amanda Hocking, the New York Times bestselling author of The Kanin Chronicles, returns to the magical world of the Trylle Trilogy with The Ever After, the final novel in The Omte Origins arc. Buried memories… Ulla Tulin has lost a month of her life. Her journey to learn who her parents are has brought her to the attention of the Älvolk sect—and a man claiming to be her father. But instead of a long lost family reunion, Ulla has forgotten her time there, and fears something terrible happened. Sacred flower… The Älvolk released Ulla alive for one reason only, to exchange her for a rare flower with mystical properties. Determined to break her amnesia, Ulla risks her life against a dark enchantment capable of killing her to remember the Älvolk’s secrets—to use the flower as part of an incantation that will open the bridge to Alfheim, the First City. Blood prophecy… But opening the bridge will unleash a menagerie of monstrous creatures upon Earth that will consume everything in their path. Knowing she may lose Pan Soriano, the love of her life, Ulla nevertheless gathers an army of Trylle to stand with her and defend humanity as well as her own kind. And it is Ulla’s very heritage that holds the key to victory.

Wow, what a way to finish a series. And not just a series, but a universe! I started reading from this world in 2015 when Frostfire came out and I'm telling you, I have enjoyed every minute of it!
This conclusion was fantastic. We were able to learn so many things about the troll world and how everything connected together. I was very happy with how everything ended with one GIANT exclusion.
That character death. You know which one I'm talking about. I was NOT ready for that and I am not here for it. They were done dirty and I REFUSE to accept it. Nope, it didn't happen. DIDN'T HAPPEN.
Though they did go out in style and doing something they 100% would do a million times over even knowing what the outcome would have been. It was very true to character, just not to my emotions.
Outside of that, there was a moment here where I was like "I'm sorry, you just did what?!?!" There's a POV switch at about 75% in, which is crazy because that's just NOT done. But it made so much sense for the story overall. For the SERIES overall. And I'm talking all 9 books, not just these three.
Overall, I'm really happy with the way Amanda chose to end this and I'm so happy that the ARC Gods at Netgalley and Wednesday books were kind enough to grant me ALL THREE of these books (as well as the Valkyrie duology previously!) to read early.
