What I like most about this series is how things are continuously not as they seem at first glance. Where at one point we think that plot is going to go one way, the rug is pulled from beneath are feet and we find ourselves looking at something totally different. I very much enjoy that.
While I won't reveal too much in a review, to keep from spoiling anyone who thought to look ahead, I will say the idea of "greater forces at work" is an ominous turn I'm very much looking forward to in the next volume.

I am happy to see you are back writing and looking forward to reading this finale for Volume 2.
As always, I write my review as I am reading the chapter, this allows me to keep track of what I want to say in real-time.
So, without further ado I will dive right into the reading/review of the finale.
We are left wondering who this character is that is talking with Jacob. Obviously, we are told in the end of the previous chapter that there needs to be the trinity combined power of Jacob Blaire and Gullivette to defeat the evil which is to be born.
It is interesting to see the confusion within Jacob as he is dealing with what just happened and obviously the mixed emotions he must be having when confronted by the survivors from the nefarious organization.
We see the emotions boiling up within Jacob as he confronts the evil that is before him. The fighters run as Jacob unleashes wrath upon them. Very intriguing direction, makes you wonder about the possibilities within this new world we find ourselves in.
Now we are confronted with the knowledge of how Deita has been transformed and what intentions Auron and Avaramix have for the future of this world. Interesting conversation between the two and we find ourselves being introduced to two new characters that will undoubtedly bring chaos onto the scene.
I am intrigued to see if Deita will harbor any deep emotions from her previous self and how she will wrestle with them.
Now we are introduced to the true evil that will befall the world and understand the illusion the Nefarious organization has with the power they seek. The hint of what is to come of our world by hearing what has happened to Alec’s home.
There are so many possibilities we will be able to see when volume 3 comes out. The paths are endless.
How will the interaction with Blaire and Annie go? What will happen when Deita is awakened and how will she react to her transformation? What will happen when Avaramix finds out Jacob’s change of heart? The interaction between Blaire, Annie and Jacob will be intriguing how they will react to realizing that they will need him to complete the trinity.
Looking forward to the next chapter and where you take us on this journey.

I've spent most of this volume unveiling all of the threads, and now at last volume 3 will take us to the fabric of the plotline of Avaramix and his organization, and how Jacob, Annie and Blaire have gotten involved and just how relevant their anticipated union could be.
