This book was not as good as the past ones in the series, but it was still good. I felt that the main problem was contrived and a little unnecessary.

They know the Reapers are out to restore Loki to full power so why the heck don't they hide the artifacts somewhere safe? Why do they still keep the artifacts in the library?

The action in this book was great. I had a feeling it was A behind everything. And I was right! Poor Logan. I can't wait to read the next book!

*3.5 Stars*

Der Schreibstil wird von Band zu Band besser! Ist sehr YA und daher für mich als erfahrene Fantasy Leserin vorausschaubar, aber gut und macht Interesse an mehr von Jennifer Estep.

Oh Mann. Ich finde es richtig schade, wie sich die Reihe in den letzten beiden Bänden so entwickelt hat. Es fühlt sich immer mehr wie ein Harry Potter Abklatsch an und das gefällt mir einfach gar nicht. Außerdem scheint, was die Handlung angeht, überhaupt nichts voran zu gehen. Aber klar, die ersten vier Bände umfassen ja insgesamt höchstens eine Zeitspanne von vielleicht vier Monaten. Wie soll es denn dann auch zu einer Entwicklung kommen?

Dazu kommt auch noch, dass mir Gwen immer mehr auf den Keks geht. Wie oft kann sie denn noch dieselben Fehler begehen?

Der ganze Anfang ging mir auch mega auf die Nerven, weil ich das Verhalten der Mitschüler und auf einigen Erwachsenen einfach lachhaft fand.

Und wieso bekommen die Freundschaften so wenig Anteil an der Story. Die waren nämlich das, was ich an den ersten Büchern echt am besten fand.

Nachdem ich jetzt aber schon 4 der 6 Bände gelesen habe, werde ich die Reihe allerdings noch beenden und hoffe inständig, dass ich jetzt wieder mehr gefallen an den Büchern finden werde.

There’s a great part of me that just loves this series and I don’t know if it’s because of Gwen or the mythology, but each new book brings a new world full of mysteries to be solved and of course a battle to save the world.

I’m always expecting Gwen to save everyone and try for once to have a normal day without all this crazy attacks for the reapers. Some people might think it’s selfish of her to just want a normal outing with her new boo, but she’s just a teenager fighting the evil and trying to survive another day.

This book was different than the others, but mostly because now Loki is free and Gwen must discover what to do and actually kill him, not the simplest fact of them all. But I loved this book just as much as the others and there’s not a bad thing I could tell about it.

I don’t want to spoiler everyone, but Gwen is fighting with people’s thought and frustrated trying to discover Loki’s steps to control the world again. Not much!

Love, love, LOVE this series! There's always plenty of action, mystery and giggles. Gwen is such a great character. She's strong, independent, and thinks for herself. There's some big shocks in this one, and the reapers are everywhere! And their out to set up Gwen for all of their actions, will she survive a trial for releasing Loki?

this book was so good. it also made me mad. i feel like i always say this but is is a very fast read but that is only because i cant put it down. the ending will give you the biggest shock ever. it made me tear. i can not wait for the next one.
