Now that the Faith Council of Saints has been established and accepted, it’s time for everyone’s final contestant to compete against each other! Unfortunately for Carolina, it means she has to go up against her vile older sister, Flora. It’s also clear that something is very wrong with Flora, and her health is rapidly declining as they compete!
In the final volume of the series, we finally see Carolina and Flora’s showdown. There was a lot of interesting information about mana manipulation involved. However, it seemed out of place because it was Archbishop Mills and his supporters who produced the mana manipulation pills. I wish the in-depth information we learned about mana manipulation happened in the previous novel where it would’ve made the most sense: during Mills’s POV sections.
That said, the book is mostly solid even though some of the plots were resolved too easily, but I’ll live. I was surprised by the lack of filler, especially compared to the amount of filler in the third volume. This volume hit the ground running and didn’t start pulling back until around halfway through. By that point, it was working on wrapping up all the loose ends and letting us see the future that was in store for each of the characters.
All in all, I’m really happy with this book. We finally got to see the sisters go toe to toe, and that was exciting. It was great to see many of the characters happily look to the future. There were some surprises that I enjoyed, a few things that I expected thanks to the excellent foreshadowing, and a nice wrap up. It felt kind of like the end of a movie but without extensive flash forwards at the end. I really like how things turned out!
