Fifty Shades Freed by EL James
Reviewed by Desere
It's the big finale ! This time around Ana and Christian are Mr and Mrs Grey and the stakes are a whole lot higher than before.
One would think that the final part of the journey would be without a little less uphill but it's everything but. This book is the real full blown roller-coaster ride for Ana and Christian.
More drama , more emotion and heck of a lot more get's added to the secrets of an already filled to the top secret packed trilogy. Kidnapping, near death experiences and of course the famous butt plug!
Mr Grey is again the rich, mysterious always get's what he craves character he was before and of course still full of kink. As in the first two books he is still the stronger addition to the relationship, and again I will have to add that Ana was still a little under developed, I felt that the author definitely made an effort to bring her into full view but there was still something missing and at the end of the day Ana was still a bit of a mystery character to me.
Ana's patience and persistence for dragging Christian from the dark depth's of the hell we found him to be trapped in the first and second book was neatly done by the author and despite not loving the character of Ana so much ( I mean blaming an accidental pregnancy on your PA, really?!) and at the end of the book I could see just how far Ana had dragged Christian back into the world of reality.
I particularly loved the author bringing in the kidnapping scenario, it made the bond between the characters stronger and definitely took the focus off from the entire " always about sex" element that almost completely overshadowed the entire series.
It also added that exhilarating danger element that no matter the kind of reader you are everyone loves danger it heightens the senses and add's that action packed punch.
I recommend this book for anyone that absolutely has to know the end to this trilogy but again I warn if you don't like reading about kinky sex, or think that Ana is off her rocker for letting Christian control her in the way that he does ( I will add the author brilliantly let the true meaning of the control eventually shine through) then this read is not for you But if you can look past all the sex hoopla and focus on the actual journey of love however crazy it may be, then this is a read not to be missed.
5/5 star review
" He's found the freedom from the chains , but will he be able to free her?
