Synopsis

Being a member of the Elite Hunter Command imperils Joy in more ways than one. In their latest clash with Othersiders, the army of monsters nearly wiped them out. Apex City is safe for now. But within the city barriers, Joy must wage a different kind of war.The corrupt and powerful PsiCorps is determined to usurp the Hunters as chief defenders of Apex City, and Joy is now squarely in their crosshairs. Unused to playing political games, she has very few people she can truly trust—not even Josh, her first friend in Apex City, who broke up with her when it became too dangerous for a Psimon to be dating a Hunter. Then Josh comes to Joy for help. He fears that Abigail Drift, the head of PsiCorps, will soon use him in her twisted experiments designed to empower PsiCorps and render Hunters superfluous—a scheme that’s already killed off dozens of Psimons. Joy manages to smuggle Josh to safety, but he cannot evade Drift forever As Joy faces ever more powerful Othersiders, she is helped by the most surprising ally imaginable—the same Folk Mage she once met in battle on the train to Apex City. But can Joy trust the most cunning and treacherous of all Othersiders?In the thrilling finale to Mercedes Lackey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy, Joy must risk everything to end a brutal war before she loses all she has ever loved.

Goodreads review by Chicken on September 05, 2017

Quite possibly one of the best Mercedes Lackey series I'm not ashamed to say that, leading up to the release of this, I reread Hunter and Elite, and then I spent a few hours checking to see if it was out yet (it downloaded at about 1am EST), and the second it was I inhaled it.

Goodreads review by Sara on February 11, 2018

This has been very, very entertaining. In terms of sheer enjoyment and awesomeness, I rate this trilogy quite high in my mind. But. If I consider the plot of all three books, it feels to me something like an overly drawn out episode. Like an episode with three parts that story-wise just only needed o......more

This just felt a little too phoned in. Everything was either super obvious or a little too convenient. Not the worst book ever, but kind of disappointing for a series that I thought was so fun to start out.......more

Goodreads review by Kenna on March 01, 2019

UGH I’m finally finished with this crappy series. I tried to like them so, so hard, but ultimately I was really bored, and it took me MONTHS to get through three little YA books (that honestly bordered on middle grade). The characters were lackluster. Torcion, the only morally gray character (althoug......more

Goodreads review by Anam on September 06, 2017

The boring and unnecessary romance (which felt like an item being checked off a list) and the boring and unnecessary focus on PsiCorps (I honestly didn't give two s***s about the stupid PsiCorp) left me completely underwhelmed by the third book in this trilogy. Josh is a two-dimensional character an......more
