Sentinel by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Sentinel by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Rating: 5/5 stars


NOW THAT IS HOW YOU END A BOOK **cough Veronica Roth cough**.  This is such a flawless ending to a series. A little sad and will most likely make you cry but at the same time its reasonable and will make you unbelievably giddy.

I was SO nervous about this book considering it was the last one and there is nothing worse than a disappointing ending in a series that you love. I had a lot of experiences where the last book in a series is so unfair that it puts you off the series but this has such a bittersweet ending. It is SUCH a plot twist and I did not see that coming.

There is a lot of drama when it comes to these books since it is very similar to the Vampire Academy series but I read both series and I actually love this one A LOT more. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Vampire Academy books too, but there is something about these books that is more appealing. Despite the similarities to Vampire Academy, this series has become its own and I love it.

If there's one thing I'm going to miss about this series, it is the characters.
-Aiden. Oh my gods, he might actually be my number one "book boyfriend". Usually there is a least one thing I dislike about a character but I can’t think of a single thing for Aiden.  He is basically everything you want in a man. He is extremely supportive, passionate and love-able. "I just don't want you to feel that way, because I love you. I'm in love with you. Forever and ever, and all the corny things I can attach to that.” SO adorable.
-Alex is probably one of the bravest characters out there, even up until the very end. I admire her so much. She is so strong and she isn't afraid to show that she is scared and to show emotion.
-SETH. Oh my, I am so happy about how he turned out even though it’s not a perfect happy ending. Most readers did not like Seth since the beginning since he’s an ass and especially after everything he put Alex through but I always loved him. I always knew he cared for Alex even though he had a strange way of showing it. You saw in this book how deep his love for Alex is and he would do absolutely ANYTHING for her.

This book has less romance than the other books but I still love it nonetheless. The moments where there is romance involved, it was incredibly sweet. There was a lot more Action that will have you on the edge of your seat. It had a perfect amount of both action and romance.

I really liked Solo’s story about how he got his scar, I did not see that coming and ever since we were first introduced to Solo in the books, I always wondered how he got his scar. I also love how Jennifer brings Caleb back in multiple books, I was heart-broken when he was killed and Alex being able to see him in the underworld makes it less painful. One thing that I’m mostly upset about is that the battle wasn’t that long. I thought that it was going to take up most of the book but it didn’t. It seemed like it just started then you blinked and it was over.

Anything that Jennifer L Armentrout writes is gold in my eyes and Sentinel does not disappoint. This whole book is incredible and I can’t believe it’s over. It is definitely one of my favorite series and I see myself re-reading it in the future.
