Ich liebe die Verbindung, die sich zwischen Grace und Hudson aufgebaut hat und bin froh, dass sich alles rund um Jaxon entspannt hat. Es ist wirklich faszinierend immer weiter in diese magische Welt einzutauchen und von ihren Regeln zu lernen. Auf de Weg wurden viele Leben verloren und viele Freundschaften geknüpft. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich gewisse Beziehungen weiter entwickeln und wie es im folgenden Band weitergeht, nach der Eröffnung am Ende.

Ich frage mich, was sich zwischen Jaxon und Flint entwickeln wird, wie Mekhi. Gerettet wird, in wiefern Eden und Graces menschliche Freundin zueinander finden, ist Macy komplett raus aus dem Liebesspiel? Wie wird mit Hudsons Fähigkeiten verfahren? Wer ist neuer Vampirregent? Gibt es einen Wechsel der Vertreter der Drachen?

I think this was my least favorite book in the series (but still SUCH a great book.) It took a long time to get into the meat of the book and it dragged in the middle, but I loved the story and how it fit into the other books.

EPIC.

loved the Impossible Trial. loved the way the argue and fight and make up because that’s what friends do. loved Eden’s attitude in dealing with Grace. loved the stunt the gargoyles put at the end.

If this wasn't as long as it was, it would have been a fine/fun read but the length meant it was such a slog to get through. I liked the new info we got on the gargoyle court in this one, and the family connections revealed were fun

Loved the action and additional world building in this book, we learned a lot of new things about these characters and their backstories and it was still interesting and new four books in.

Nine. Hundred. Pages. For what?? Tracy, my girl, this is unnecessary. 
I said in my last review (covet, #3) that the writing was getting marginally better with each book and I’d now like to formally retract that statement. Grace has become insufferable, but it’s not ALL the characters fault, it’s just bad writing. Her internal monologue is so painfully repetitive that it’s near insulting to the reader. If an editor had cut out all the rendundant content you could literally remove hundreds of pages. Having finished this book, I wish there weren’t more. I will read them, of course, but I’m not overly happy about it. I will see this through! 

A few of the most heinously abused and repeated phrases in this book that I hope I never have to read again: 
“My Mate” - we get it. Stop saying it every other sentence 
“You’re ridiculous, you know that right?”
“Force a smile/grin that I’m far from feeling”
“Smile/grin that doesn’t reach his/her/their eyes” 
“Choke back bile in the back of my throat” 
“Laughs without humor”

Side note: for all the novels in this series up until this one I have switched back and forth between reading the ebook and listening to the audiobook to get through them quickly. Don’t listen to this audiobook - the narrator regularly gets the characters accents mixed up mid dialogue and it’s SO confusing. (For example: They’ll say something in Hudson’s voice that Hudson did NOT say, and I’d have to go back to the book to figure out what actually happened in conversation). There’s also continuity issues with pronunciation that is not earth shattering but bothered me to no end (for example, Mehki’s name is suddenly pronounced entirely differently in this book versus the first 3). I had to stop listening and just trudge thru this one the old fashioned way, this perhaps lent to me being more triggered by the writing 🤣
