Unlike the other two books, once this book gets fast it stays fast - almost to a dizzying degree. There was so much going on at times that I felt a bit lost, I admit. The ending was satisfactory for the series, and definitely designed to keep the reader reading. I don't know whether or not I'll keep reading - I definitely want to know what happens with Emma/John, but there are enough pacing/character inconsistencies that I'm kind of on the fence as to whether or not I'll be continuing.
I still love the characters in this - Emma is such a good protagonist! I do think she's still a bit too much of a Mary Sue, but there are things in this book that she either can't immediately do or full-stop can't do, which was nice. My favorite relationship is still Emma and Leo. Honestly, the biggest plus for this series is all of the Chinese mythology and the relationships between the characters.
