6/10, un labāk nekā iepriekšējās. Sekos spoileri!
Man rodas sajūta, ka Hollija ir tinusi makšķeres un te tālāk raksta tikai Kastroļu Klēra. Viņai dikti patīk taisīt Harija Potera fanfikus.
Šī daļa aizgāja ļoti strauji, jo ir tikai 200lpp gara, un laikam labi, ka tā, jo otrajai un trešajai daļai tie sākumi bija dikti neveikli. Man joprojām mīļākā ir tieši pirmā grāmata, kad tas vēl turējās oriģinālākā aplociņā.
Tagad galvenie varoņi ir 15 gadus veci, un vecumu neatbilstība tikai turpinās. Ar 13gadniekiem tā awkward ļove bija vēl briesmīgāka un tad tie sīči uzvedās pieaugušāk nekā vajadzētu. Tagad ir tieši otrādi, un man visu laiku jāatgādina, ka šis jau būtībā iebrauc YA lauciņā, lai gan middle grade garša tikai pastiprinās.
Te man sākas lielākais konflikts - sižets ir paņemts par lielu un nopietnu, lai to visu sabarotu pamatskolas stilā. Call joprojām ir anti-hero, un šoreiz pavisam HP & Fēniksa Ordeņa stilā viss notiek. Nu jau visi zin, ka viņš ir pārdzimušais Enemy of Death, viņa dvēselē ir ļaunums, mīt daļiņa no Constantine.
Lai arī cik copy paste tas neizklausītos, pēc pāris nodaļām viss tomēr atgūst savu gultni. Kad ļaunīši sāk uzvesties kā multeņu ļaunīši, facepalms vismaz sāk krāties par citām lietām.
Katrā ziņā, fināls bija interesants un interesi par sērijas atrisinājumu saglabā. Cerams, ka autores pie piektās grāmatas tiešām piestrādās, citādi ļoti paviršs iespaids no šī radās. Viņām katrai ir kaudze ar citiem projektiem un tad šis vēl kuļas astē katru gadu.

Ça paraît que les personnages dans ce tome sont plus vieux, les sujets abordés sont plus lourds.
Je trouve que cette série est une belle entrée à la fantasy!

Another verrryy good book. Call finally being able to have visitors and having Master Rufus, his dad and, very unexpectedly, Jasper come was great. This book was full of action throughout and starts off hard with the jailbreak very early on in Chapter 2. Getting betrayed by Anastasia and Call, Jasper and Tamara having to be with Master Joseph and Alex was very interesting and seeing how that was gonna pan out kept me wanting to read. The development within the trio was cool to see and Tamara and Call finally admitting their feelings towards each other and starting a romantic relationship was cool to see. Call learning things about chaos magic and secretly wanting to go with Master Joseph’s plan of bringing Aaron back was also something that kept me wanting to see if he would actually do it and what Tamara and Jasper would think. Call actually bringing Aaron back using a piece of his own soul was crazy and I knew that something had to be up so when Aaron was slightly different the entire time and then ended up having to obey Call’s orders like normal chaos-ridden but still being somewhat normal. Call bringing Aaron back was something he 100% shouldn’t have done and was definitely something more “evil” which then made Call look like he was agreeing a little with Master Joseph and Alex. Then, Tamara and Jasper escaped to tell the Magisterium and the Assembly about the enemy stronghold and everything with the chaos-ridden and Aaron which also made Call think that they really thought he was Constantine now. Then, everyone was talking to the Assembly and Call saying he really is the Enemy of Death while internally he is trying to think how he can stop the war. Then, before the battle happens at the island, Call has a solo conversation with Master Rufus, Jasper, Tamara and Assemblyman Graves where he tells them everything about the enemy’s numbers and then Graves wants him to sacrifice himself to kill Alex and himself which causes Call to run away. He starts the battle commanding Constantine’s original army and tells them to dance which causes a pause in the battle which causes Alex to get angry and head towards Call to kill him with the Alkahest. They fight and Call and Alex use all their chaos except Call stops himself from becoming a Devoured and he instead sends Alex into the void. Call about to die because he used some of his soul again to stop Alex has Tamara and Master Rufus above him trying to have him stay alive while Aaron comes and soul taps Call to give him the part of Call’s soul he gave him back. Call jolts up like he got a lot of his life back and Graves is baffled like soul transferring like that shouldn’t be possible. The epilogue was a cool setup for the final novel where Alex comes back as a Devoured of chaos magic. Also a crazy development of Aaron actually being back but as a consciousness in Call’s mind is craaazzzyy.
I really want to see how everybody reacts around Call now that he was their savior yet is still technically Constantine. Also, I really want to see the development around Aaron being back(?) if he is actually back and how that is gonna affect Call and his mind and if he’s gonna tell Tamara. Also, I really want to see how Master Rufus, Tamara, Jasper, and Alastair are towards Call and what is gonna happen with all their relationships.
Overall, verrryyy good book. I like it about as much as the previous novel but there were bigger twists in the previous one which made me rate it a tiny bit higher (kinda unfair considering you can't always have big twists) but, there was a lot of action in this one and I really like the relationship developments between Call and everyone.
My rating: 9/10
