Summary
She’s a martyr. A myth. A ghost. A legend.
She’s my soulmate and my captive, my conscience and my wrath. I love her too much to let her die; I fear her too much to wake her from her slumber.
She’s mine. And now she’s gone.
He’s unnatural. Undying. Unethical. Unstoppable. He’s the keeper of lies and lost souls. Mine slipped through his clutches.
I am his wife, his queen, the love of his very long life.
And soon, I will be his executioner.

3.5 STARS ★★★✬✩
This book is for you if… the sequel didn't put you off. You might as well finish the series now. Quality wise, this conclusion lies somewhere between the first and the second book.
⤐ Overall.
Looking at the quotes I saved it's a wonder I didn't realise until now how poetic Laura's language can be. The romance in The Fallen World series is an intense one and so it is not surprising for the lovers to find intense words to describe what they mean to each other.
‘She and I are love and war. Peace and violence. I have taught her how to be a worse person, and she’s taught me how to be a better one. I fuel her hate, and she fuels my love.
I’ve torn the world apart and now I need my queen to help me stitch humanity back together, and my heart along with it.’
Admittedly, the prose didn't always hit home for me but now that I'm at the end of The Queen of All that Lives, it seems almost a waste of time not to have realised and enjoyed the language earlier.
To be honest, it was tiring to yet again see Serenity act as if the king didn't have her mesmerised from the minute he showed his gentle side to her somewhere in The Queen of All that Dies . We all know she loves him despite trying to rationalise her feelings for him. There really was no need to make the book that much thicker by lengthening it with endless mental discussions about whether or not it was right to love him. Dejavu feelings for the reader, nothing more.
Altogether, I'm pretty satisfied with this conclusion.
⤐ What’s happening.
‘I’m an idiot for trying to protect her this whole time. She was never the one who needed protecting.
Everyone else was.’
After having been put in a sleeper for 100 years, Serenity finally awakes and returns to a world that is so different yet almost unchanged compared to what it looked like when she fell asleep. But things have changed: her King most of all, the alliances she new got loose, new threats have emerged. Is the chance to bring peace to this earth lost forever or, for the first time in a long time, finally in reach?
_____________________
4 STARS. Would stay up beyond my typical hours to finish it. I found some minor details I didn't like, agree with or lacked in some kind but overall, this was enjoyable and extraordinary.
3 STARS. Decent read that I have neither strongly positive nor negative feelings about. Some things irked me and thus it does not qualify as exceptional.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
