The ending of this story is just a masterclass in fan service. It gives you the big Lyra-mate bond moment, the defeating of the big bad, and the triumphant ascendence of our heroine as Queen, but it elevates each of these to make them more than just check boxes to mark off. The mate bond is put to the test in a trial by fire of sorts, and made stronger and better because of it. The defeat of the villain is satisfying not because Lyra killed him, but because he was rejected by all the packs he had been manipulating. And her coronation as Queen is not a big, flashy, crowning type of deal. Rather, her new status as Queen is simply acknowledged by the people because she has earned it through her actions, and they start simply calling her "my queen".

'Little Luna' ends with Luna finally understanding her mother’s cryptic diary entries to learn a long hidden family secret that changes her perspective on everything. The reveal is fairly subtle – Luna sitting at an old desk in tears with tears dropping off her face onto the pages of her mother’s diary – and then we jump forward a year to find Luna now running a small seaside cafe and smiling more frequently. It’s a very quiet, very realistic ending with no grand declaration or unhappy reunion. Rather we see Luna in everyday situations, fully at peace and finding happiness in the simplest of circumstances. The final shot of her serving coffee to a little kid and realizing that he is her when she was little is perfect.

'Runaway Luna' is a quietly triumphant read. Rather than returning to her love or the villain of her past for a dramatic showdown, this protagonist gets to open up her very own store of books by the sea. It’s not an ending that screams of happiness but of quiet, deep contentment. In the end, she’s sitting by a window, reading a book, and it looks wonderful. There is hope for a future with someone, or not. But it’s up to the reader to imagine what that might be like. In my bookish estimation, this author has left the story just right. I closed the cover with a deep sigh of understanding and appreciation.

The end of the story stays true to Luna’s voice. Even in her confidence and triumph, she remains doubtful, witty and extremely observant. In her final thoughts as she looks over her pack, she returns to her analytical and slightly humorous observations. Meanwhile, the Alpha’s devotion to her is demonstrated through his actions rather than empty words. He learns her tea of choice. He memorizes her patrol schedule in order to accidentally join her. This is an ending built from details that ring true to the characters rather than the necessities of the plot.

I read this because my friend was pressuring me to read it. The ending is really classic to the genre in that the heroes are able to overcome whatever last minute obstacles are thrown their way and defeat their rivals in a big, symbolic “uniting the pack” kind of way. Emma’s journey to be respected after being rejected by the pack is complete. Logan is fully committed as well. It was a really satisfying “ride off into the sunset” type of ending for the werewolf characters.
Overall I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. It doesn’t break a lot of new ground for the subgenre of dominant alpha male leading romantic interest who eventually learns to be adequate enough to earn the heroine’s love in a guaranteed HEA scenario. But it does a great job of delivering on all the familiar notes to ensure that the end is satisfying and the character moments are sweet. I did end up skimming through a lot of the longish pack politics sections towards the end in order to get back to Emma and Logan, but the moments that I read were quite nice.

As opposed to being another romance novel with an ending that wraps up neatly in a bow, the lore in this book is fascinating. The ‘Lunar Curse’ that the pack suffers from is actually a fragmented ancestral guardian, left over from Centuries ago when an Alpha attempted to use it as a weapon. Instead, however, the purpose of the guardian was corrupted, turning into a scourge that increases discord wherever it goes. The only way to ‘cure’ the pack is for Luna, as a ‘new soul with an old connection’ (thanks to her second chance at life) to work as a bridge between her studies in the prior life and the ‘here and now’ by reassembling the fragmented purpose of the guardian through a series of rituals that she remembers.
It’s all about the cultural memory and understanding of the ancestral lore being greater than the means of its destruction. As the Lore-Keeper Alpha, Draven provided the muscle to make the necessary rituals stable, but it was Luna who remembered and used her study of the ancient lore from her previous life to restore the purposes of the broken pieces of the Lunar Curse. A much smarter ending to a novel than most in the genre.

I also really appreciated the cost to the dragon of this happy ending. When he finally has the human in his arms as a human, his hands are shaking. This creature who was able to hold up mountains in all their dragonous size and power was shaking. I loved this. It wasn’t about losing power. It was about trading one kind of strength for another. And then the reader got to see just how rich and full this quiet life was of simple joys that he had never even known to want before – like seasons changing, growing his own food, the gossip of the neighbors. This was all so wonderful and it validated the life he had chosen as being just as full and as meaningful as his life in the crystal palace.
But the real closing is for the secondary characters as well. His gruff second-in-command weeps uncontrollably as he leaves, as if he has lost a brother. The learned friend of Elara the scholar puts together the definitive treatise on dragon-human relations in memory of them. The closing of the story of this one creature has the ripples of the central story, but it also has the outer rings of change in the world that this creature and this woman have brought about. It is not a closed ‘The End’ but the opening of a new, better world for them. That is why I consider this a hopeful, tearful ending.

Just following this thread to see how fanychly people can argue over endings to a story. One person calls it perfect bittersweet, another rushed trash. I am reading the book so have been skimming through these ‘spoilers’ with one eye closed. My intrigue with the debate is far greater than my interest in the actual ending. Carry on.

This ending is a great way to solidify the world of Elfhame as a place where human morality doesn’t apply. Jude’s human sense of justice and fairness means nothing here. Instead, her triumph is stolen by a deeper, older, fae way of looking at things: power, lineage, and betrayal. Because Jude tried to play the game of faerie with human rules, she lost. But it makes sense that the Court would accept Cardan’s actions to save himself when they know that Jude was instrumental in saving them. It proves that the Court only cares about tradition and blood, not about merit or even gratitude. So in order to win in this world, Jude will have to stop being human in her thinking. The tower might be where she finally loses the last of her human sensibilities and becomes something wild and fae. This ending is her final lesson in the world that she chose to enter.
