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?

1.0

This is probably the worst book in the series. It was way too long and a lot of parts of the story for this book kept getting dragged out. I started this in October 2023 and it’s taken me 5 months to finish. It feels like deep down I didn’t want to finish it as I lost interest. But finished it anyway.

This book felt like it could end the series. With the next two books, book 5 being what happened when

Grace and Hudson were trapped together at the finale of Crave with the missing time of months

, I have no interest in reading it as I simply don’t care anymore. I read a synopsis for the final book 6 and it feels like it’s not even necessary and I have no idea why it was written. I have a feeling it will just be more of the story dragged out for no reason. 

I did enjoy the series in the beginning as I thought it was exciting and pulled me in. It was entertaining to a degree, despite the extremely cringy writing. Honestly Grace is probably the worst character and she got worse in each book. At some point it felt like the author kept making things up for the sake of it and adding in a lot of filler chapters and random characters. This book in particular felt like it had a lot of filler chapters. There are certainly loveable characters (such as Macy) and a few others but that’s it. 

I’m relieved to be done with this book finally and unfortunately don’t plan on finishing the series.

Fast-paced fantasy adventure. I wouldn't say this series is particularly astounding but it's entertaining and the characters are very lovable. Despite not liking the first one too much, I've made it this far and was happy with how it ended.

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.

I adore this series. I listened to the audio and could not stop. Pack with action. However, the ending did not make me feel invested as the other. It has been over a month since I finish it and I cannot understand what will be discussed in Cherish.

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.
