Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

The astonishing conclusion to the #1 international bestselling series... Murder. Love. Jealousy. And the ultimate sacrifice. The Queen is dead and the Moroi world will never be the same. Now, with Rose awaiting wrongful execution and Lissa in a deadly struggle for the royal throne, the girls find themselves forced to rely upon enemies and to question those they thought they could trust. . . . But what if true freedom means sacrificing the most important thing of all? Each other. Can't get enough? Look out for Bloodlines, Richelle Mead's bestselling spinoff series set in the world of Vampire Academy!

Great finale to a riveting series.

Loved the political intrigue in this one and of course, the HEA.

Looking forward to the Bloodlines follow on.

This final installment was a big letdown for me after how much I enjoyed the rest of the series. I felt like this book had a lot of filler at the beginning and wasted time on things that were not important than rushed the ending to the point that we don't even know what happened to a bunch of the characters we came to know and love throughout the series. I know there is Bloodlines that has some of the same characters but I feel like the ending of this book could have been improved.

4 stars, because I don't really like the ending. I always want to Rose & Dimitri end up together, but just like Adrian said, Rose left many collateral damage. Rose left Adrian broken hearted, Eddie with spot record of subordination & Sidney with the consequence from her Alchemist group because helped her run. It turns out those 3 peoples I mention earlier, along with Jill will have their own stories told on spin-off, the Bloodline series.
Like I said, I've always wanted Rose & Dimitri end up together since I started the series, but when Adrian involved with Rose then, I'm not sure anymore. Turns out I really like Adrian , and what Rose did to him was indeed unforgivable. I mean, Rose still aching for Dimitri & she jumped at the first chance once she knew there is a way to restore Dimitri from being a strigoi. By that point I wish she had let go Adrian, don't use his affection or money to save Dimitri.
But overall I was entertained because the book reminded of the first book were, funny, so many humor & witty comments along the way. Except the last part of the book of course.
