Good continuation of the series. I wish they weren't so short, though!

The End!!! Oh my god. Everything was so intense and interesting. I tried to guess who's the spy in the Magisterium but it was a surprise for me even though I figured it out a few pages before they revealed it. Still, very nicely played. I can't wait for the next book, hoping the end isn't true. How do you do this? How do you proceed with the series now?

This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
I feel like this third book is really where the story kicks into high gear. The stakes are a lot higher since the book starts right out with a character dying. It becomes apparent that there’s a spy at the Magisterium and (of course) our trio takes it upon themselves to solve the mystery before Call himself ends up dead. I don’t know how much I can really reveal about what I liked about this book without spoiling things. There are some MAJOR game-changers here: cataclysmic events that will shape future books in the series. One of the twists I guessed ahead of time, but there were some big reveals and occurrences that took me completely by surprise. I’ll be very interested to see where this story goes next! I give this installment 4.5/5 stars.

The ending was extremely sad then creepy. The book seemed short, but I spread out my reading this time so that may have affected that. I really hope justice is brought to the one who deserves it and the innocent are set free.

קאל חוזר לשנה השלישית שלו במיגסטריום וגם הפעם חייו נמצאים בסכנה. הספר לא מבזבז זמן ישר קופץ לאקשן. ברור לכותבות שזהו ספר שלישי ולכן הוקראים אינם צריכים שיסבירו להם שוב מי הן הדמויות ומה הן עושות (ריק ריירדן אני מסתכלת עליך, תילמד) . מצד שני, העלילה לא נותנת לגיבורים רגע של שקט.
נוצר מצב שהספר הקטן (הכי קצר בסדרה, לפי דעתי) מתיש לחלוטין את הקורא. יש תחושה של דחיפות בספר, שחייבים להגיע לסוף שלו, כי אז קורה הדבר החשוב באמת. התוצאה היא שהרבה מהתפניות בעלילה לקראת סוף הספר אינן משכנעות ובאמת, לא יכול להיות שחבורה של קוסמים כל כך חזקים הם גם כל כך עיוורים
שורה תחתונה, הספר הזה הוא הספר שמעביר תא הזמן בין שני ספרים טובים (אני מקווה) כמו שאות אתנה מעביר את הזמן בין בן נפטון לבין בית האדס. כלומר, חייבים לקרוא אותו כדי לדעת מה קורה בעלילה אבל אתם לא ממש תיהנו ממנו ותקוו שהבא יהיה יותר מוצלח

oh my God!!!!! this book suddenly took a veeeery dark turn and I am heart broken...
while the first two books seemed childish this one proved that the authors are changing the style as the characters are growing older, and so beautifully mastered this together...
this book differs from Cassandra Clare's all perfect and spotless characters, and from Holy Black's too smart characters that have the answer for everything!!!!
I felt all the characters' doubts, their fears, and their sorrows!!!!!
it was perfect...
have to be honest though, if u are a pro book reader u will see the twist waaaay before it happens, but not all of it!!!!!
