Summary: 

But now that the final battle is upon her, there's more at stake than fighting. There's saving Ren, even if it incurs Shay's wrath. There's keeping Ansel safe, even if he's been branded a traitor. There's proving herself as the pack's alpha, facing unnamable horrors, and ridding the world of the Keepers' magic once and for all. And then there's deciding what to do when the war ends. If Calla makes it out alive, that is.

My Thoughts:

I had a hard time contemplating my thoughts on this book. The ending is just killing me and I still can’t believe that Andrea Cremer ended the story that way!

It is neither a sad ending nor a bad one. In fact, after everything that happened in the story it turns out eventually a happy one. But for me it is just a bittersweet experience. And it is okay, I just don’t like it that much mainly because of my selfish reasons that I don’t want to elaborate anymore to avoid spoilers. But I am proud to say that I am still Team Ren all the way!

I may not like the ending, and maybe that is the only thing that I don’t like in this book, but I still love Bloodrose and the series as a whole. I cannot find any fault in Andrea Cremer’s writing style. Her writing is just flawless and so easy to read. The scenarios in the story were vividly described that I can easily picture it out. And that is just one thing that I admire about her writing skills.

So in the end, though it makes me cry my heart out, Bloodrose ended the story of this series pretty well. Some may not agree with it, I don’t really, but I learned to just accept it because even though Calla’s choices are way different from my choices, she learned to just follow her heart. And that is enough for me.
