See allin my opinion, the best book of the entire twilight saga.
in my opinion, the whole saga should have been comprised only of one book. -_-
I wasn't expecting this book to be .. like it was, since it was something that seemed to flare in popularity in terms of the public's eye :D But I did like it. I'd be reading this on my nook for hours. :D Time for the next one!
this trilogy has made me a HUGE fan of Schwab's for sure! i loved what felt like the first half of the book, but towards the end some character decisions didn't really make sense...? why did Maxim essentially sacrifice himself when he knew 3 Antari were working on it? and then WHY did Rhy deliver himself to Osaron lol???
i also wish more was done with Alucard as he became a quick favorite of mine after the second book. his name is still ridiculous but he is delightful.
Lila is as badass and whip-smart as ever and i love the reveal of her as Antari. i just went back and read my review of the first book in the series and i absolutely appreciate Lila's closure with the clothing merchant and Barron and saying goodbye to Alucard. it's a bit of a shame that she had the least happening to her in this book, but i guess it was time for other characters to be fleshed out
4.5. Wholesome for a book about political intrigue. I really liked Maia, but I had a heck of a time trying to remember who was who, even with the cast list in the beginning. Csevet and the nohecharei were best boys (and gal).
