Lets do this backwards- the end
It's all fun and games till somebody goes nutters and swings a sword ! What happened ? I think my mind passed out there for a few moments. Somebody hold me upright because I am in shock. Where did that turn come from. Holy smokes. What, where, how did that happen ? Deep breathing required during those last 20 minutes, and some smelling salts.
The book was a slow start for me but quickly picked up. Oh there is drama- Emma and Jewels have some feelings that are a big no no in their society. One of the institute's most trusted friend betrays them. Fairy lets one go, with a barbed leash attached. A painful secret is shared with an unlikely source. Thugs from long ago are unleashed. The dead return to life ? Are you getting the idea it's a whirlwind, but the ending is a tsunami.
Excellent narration, excellent story. I'm off to download book #3- oh great it's not out for 9 months ?! Ugg the suffering begins

This book was amazing! I absolutely love this series! Emma and Julius are such lovable characters and their struggles will break your heart over and over. Honestly all of the characters in this book are great. They’re well developed, have clear voices, different struggles, and there’s character growth. I love that we’re following so many people.

The storyline and action is also really good. We get to see Faerie, which is always fun in Clare’s books.

I’m so sad this series is only a trilogy!

I keep trying this series and every time I can't finish it. I lose interest in the characters and just stop caring.
