“Blood so Brutal” concludes its trilogy with a disappointing ending, feeling more like a rushed final draft than a polished finale. The author relies heavily on telling rather than showing, diminishing the immersive quality that fans of the series have come to expect. The most significant question of the series is resolved in a single, off-scene sentence, leaving readers feeling cheated out of a satisfying resolution.
The male main character (MMC) undergoes a troubling transformation, embodying everything he once despised. His treatment of the female main character (FMC) is particularly troubling. He becomes overly protective, disregarding her opinions and views. This shift in dynamic undermines her character's development and autonomy. The MMC consistently violates her boundaries, assuming he knows what's best for her, which is both frustrating and disheartening.
Overall, “Blood so Brutal” falls short of its potential, leaving readers with an unsatisfactory conclusion to what began as a promising series. The rushed pacing, lack of depth, and problematic character arcs make this a disappointing finale.
