Kirkus Review

Despite living her happily-ever-after, Evangeline can't help but strive to recover her lost memories in this trilogy closer. Evangeline Fox awakens in the strong arms of Prince Apollo, her apparent husband, who swears to protect her from the evil Lord Jacks, who stole her memories. Unfortunately, Evangeline remembers nothing of her long and complex journey in the Magnificent North or her past romances; only the pain in her heart lets her know something is missing. At Wolf Hall, Evangeline seeks ways to unlock her missing memories, including enlisting the help of a mysterious guard named Archer, even as Apollo's behavior becomes more and more controlling. The pacing and plot feel stagnant at first, with Evangeline remembering things in flashes and moments of brief feelings, but things finally pick up once her memories return. With the point of view rotating among Evangeline, Apollo, and Jacks, there are few narrative surprises, but it's intriguing to delve into the minds of an antagonist and a Fate. The story's inclusion of the legendary Valors and the fantastical fairy-tale setting are unfortunately overshadowed by the love triangle's dramatic tug-of-war romance. Likewise, the book's various themes--power, hope, stories, and the nature of humanity--are of interest but handled in an unfocused way. The conclusion, at least, is satisfying, and it hints at future tales set in this world. Evangeline, Jacks, and Archer read white; Apollo has dark hair and olive skin. Frustratingly slow and lacking in magical wonder. (map) (Fantasy. 14-18) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
