I didn't absolutely hate it either though. I so wanted to love Thirteen Rising but sadly, I didn't. Thirteen Rising picks up fairly quickly after Black Moon ends, and the story takes off from there. Black Moon was incredible and definitely my favorite of the series, but the ending was extremely cliffhanger-y. I'd found this out before Black Moon was published last year, and while I didn't love the idea of more waiting, I was on board with it after reading Black Moon. I'd been looking forward to reading Thirteen Rising since I found out that there would be a fourth book in the series. Spoilers for Zodiac, Wandering Star, and/or Black Moon are possible.)

With her loved ones in peril and all the stars set against her, can the young Guardian from House Cancer muster the strength to keep fighting? Or has she finally found her match in a master whose ambition to rule knows no limits? Romina Russell’s epic sci-fi fantasy series reaches its breathtaking conclusion with this fourth and final novel.

this one was supposed to be the best in the series for me (with Rho having 'chosen' a guy - ew, btw, and the big showdown coming). Even with the disgusting love triangle in books 1-2 (and some of 3), I still stuck with the series. I've supported this series from the start.
