\u201cHey,\u201d Ben said in greeting. \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to like it,\u201d Cormac said. Which was a hell of a greeting. I\u2019d have asked, How bad could it be? But this was Cormac, and my imagination failed me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I liked that it was a plausible way of destroying the world–the method of which had been brought up a couple books earlier. I like that kind of planning.<\/p>\n

And I really loved the rationale as to why Kitty was important.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there\u2019s one thing I couldn\u2019t change. One part of His creation I couldn\u2019t break: free will. No matter how monstrous I made you, the vampires and werewolves, my soldiers and my children, I couldn\u2019t make you be monsters. You still had a choice, to follow me or not.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m always a fan of free will, and I love the idea that for all that monsters were made for evil, they had the free will to fight for good.<\/p>\n

Of course most of the characters who survived earlier books made an appearance here, albeit just a brief appearance in many cases.<\/p>\n

I’m glad I went back and re-read the series before this final book. It allowed me to see the hints she’d been dropping for quite awhile as to how things might turn out.
