Magia pură nu are formă, corp sau conştiinţă. Ea există pur şi simplu, o forţă a naturii, sângele lumii noastre, măduva oaselor noastre. Noi îi dăm forma, dar nu trebuie să-i dăm niciodată sufletul.
În acest ultim volum personajele evoluează foarte mult, acțiunea este foarte alertă, iar interacțiunile dintre personaje sunt savuroase. Mi-a plăcut foarte mult ultima jumătate în care Kell, Lila, Holland și Alucard au lucrat împreună pentru a-l învinge pe Osaron. Alt lucru care a adăugat un plus volumului a fost existența mai multor perspective din partea unor personaje secundare.
Lilla - Russian Roulette
E mult mai ok în acest volum. Acceptă prietenia celor din jur și nu mai ia decizii chiar atât de proaste.
Rhy - Love me like I'm sick
Nu! îl întrerupse el. N-o să-i las să creadă că Maresh i-a abandonat. N-o să mă ascund în palatul ăsta protejat, când pot să merg fără teamă pe străzile alea. Când pot să le amintesc oamenilor noştri că nu sunt singuri, că eu lupt cu ei, pentru ei. Când s-ar putea să fiu doborât, dar mă voi ridica din nou şi, astfel, să le arăt că speranţa e nemuritoare. Asta pot să fac eu pentru oraşul meu şi am s-o fac cu bucurie. Nu e nevoie să mă protejaţi de întuneric. Nu-mi mai poate face rău. Nimic nu mai poate.
Holland - Punching Bag
Dacă după ce am citit volumul 2 am zis că Kell e personajul meu favorit, se pare că m-am răzgândit. Holland a devenit personajul meu preferat al seriei. A trecut prin multe pentru a-și vedea visul îndeplinit.
Tot ce voise Holland fusese să-şi vadă lumea din nou bine.
Cred că aș mai citi seria asta o dată de la început. Anoshe.

This is a BLEAK book and that’s not a huge surprise from the other two books but it gets worse in this book. Good characters are cut down

I really enjoyed this book. When I started this series I wasn’t sucked in right from the start, but I’m glad I stuck with it because I really liked this last book. My biggest complaint with the other books in the series was the pacing. I felt like they focused too much on the mundane things that characters did causing it to get really slow before it finally picked up. But I think the pacing was amazing with this book which surprised me considering that it’s 600 pages. Do I think it needed to be that long? No, but there was never a moment when I thought the story was dragging. It was very much a typical high fantasy book where the characters are fighting the big bad and there’s a lot of moving parts. The highlight of this book for me was Rhy. I liked him before, but this book made me love him so much. I loved how his character, along with many others touched on grief and how to live with it. What I loved most about this book was the ending. With so many characters we got to see many different point of views. It was a typical bittersweet goodbye at the end where the characters we love are splitting up but we know they’ll see each other again. Overall, I enjoyed this series and I’m glad I grew to love it.

My favorite moments in the book are the emotionally raw moments of loss and grief that are experienced by the main cast. There is a war happening with thousands of lives at stake and the emotional gravity of that is not left to the wayside. There is a lot of death, and loss. The book gives you time to feel the emotional impact all of this has on the characters. It did nothing but make me love and appreciate them more.
Just as a side note, there is commentary about homophobia and queerphobia within this installment. I found this very compelling and I felt that it gave some much needed depth to an already interesting character.
Additionally, I love the banter between all of the characeters. I would say the scenes between Allucard and Kell are probably my favorite. Mutual annoyance and respect never looked more entertaining. I am excited to pick up more books by V.E. Schwab. I can confidently say she is one of my favorite writers.
