 If I'm being nice about it I would have to say Mare Barrow  is not the brightest  main character.  She is flawed but knows it and even with  a cool power that makes her different gets captured somehow. 

That said I think I'm  done with this series because  both her and Evangeline are getting railroaded  over. And I don't  care enough  to read War Storm for now to see how everything  ends for them. 

 But I did enjoy the megatrons, and differen new characters who had the same power as Mare.  Not to mention  howsilver Evangelin  mperspective. It made this book more interesting  and brought a lot more complexity  to see the bad peoples side.

This one is soooo much better than the Glass Sword. It is crazy of the development of all the characters. It started off really slow but after that it got a lot better and the different pov’s made the story of all the characters a lot better.

I’m conflicted by how much I actually like this book vs. how much of it is just curiosity to see how it ends. I never felt bored reading this book and personally feel that the writing gets better with each one in the series. Interesting focus on trust vs. love vs. need  that I like a lot. The ending was a bit rushed in my opinion, but overall I enjoyed this installment the most (so far). Also didn’t mind the different POVs, which I usually find annoying in books (probably because she still focused on Mare as the main character rather than too much splitting).
