this one was definitely the better of the trilogy. we finally got to see some action!
but it still wasn't a wonderful book, and I am disappointed by the ending which was too simple to be true.

It had been so long since I read this book that I forgot how beautiful the ending was. It crazy to me to think of how much the show changed everything. It's such a beautiful story on it's own. Nothing dishonors it more than that. But thankfully, I've read the story and I see the true beauty in it. The way it honors witches in a way more stories dont, by using some facts with fantasy. It's such a beautiful thing. Over coming ones fears is the theme of this book to me. Nothing in the darkness is bad if you face it. It truly brings things in perspective. Fear cannot rule you if its faced head on and that's exactly what Cassie does. She was scared sure, but she didnt let that fear control her and was able to do the right thing. What a beautiful message.

This gave all the action! It really was an ending but there are other books so I will check those out. I enjoyed this series. It wasn’t Harry Potter worthy but I liked it.

And now the trilogy is finished. A very good story, I enjoyed it from book 1 until the last chapter, then it got a little -- gushy. But overall -- enjoyable.

Okay sorry to start this off like that, but the ending was super awkward. I just can't imagine a group of 8 people just watching on as the romantic drama between their three fellow covenants (is that the correct use of the word? I don't know and am also sick, so I don't care) is finally resolved and basically boils down to "well, go and have him, you're soulmates after all", like just imagine the awkwardness of watching that go down!!
Aside from that though I am still positively surprised by the series and enjoyed following the characters and their growth a lot. Diana is such a lovely character, because even though she's ridiculously perfect, it just works and she's so nice without seeming completely unrealistic. I really wish the books had been longer to the other characters could have had more screen time, as they are, 12 "main" characters was just too many to keep track off and properly integrate into a one POV story (and I'm not asking for multiple POVs, okay, I don't like those for the most part). But still there is so much love and compassion and understanding between the characters while still including natural differences in opinion and small fights, but the friendships felt real.
The plot was also interesting, even though funnily enough the plot seemed to be the least important thing in the whole trilogy, which I just thought was hilarious.

1.5 stars. It's readable and has a couple of cool bits (when they discuss crystals or other fictional or realistic witchcraft), but that's all it has going for it.
