El desenlace de esta historia esta cargada de amor,intriga, drama, secretos y mentiras,el final ha sido muy realista y maravilloso.Readers who are coming to this after the other two books will not be surprised by any of the resolutions but readers who are picking this up without reading the other two books are likely to be a bit confused by the history they are missing.
