Enjoyed the mystery and how everything unfolded. Surprisingly emotional, although some of the emotions feel overly simplified. It’s YA though, so what are you going to do? I still devoured the last thirty pages or so.

The last 100ish pages of this book saved it from a 2 stars - I was very bored most of the time but I'm still interested to see where this story goes because wow what a cliffhanger.

It was nice.I really enjoyed it.I waited to read it since I first started the series.I really liked the fight with the strigoi at the Academy and the one in the caves but I almost cried reading how Rose felt about leaving Dimitri behind.
The part where Dimitri and Rose finally do it(making love)was epic.I so waited for that moment.
The rest of the book was cool to.

Resumiendo, Bendecida por la sombra ha sido una tercera parte increíble. Ha superado sin duda a sus antecesores. La trama se vuelve mucho más interesante. Los personajes han evolucionado y todos tienen su profundidad. Rose me ha encantado, al igual que Dimitri. Adrian también destaca entre los demás. Mucha acción, giros en la trama y sorpresas. Un ritmo trepidante que me enganchó enormemente. Una narración muy amena y un final desgarrador

I loved it. And I love how till now every book in this series has made me cry at the end. This one completely ripped my heart out. Oh my God. I want to binge it so bad.. maybe in August, I would.
I loved how throughout the book, the bond between Rose and Dimitri strengthens so much and they accepted their love, put themselves first as well not just let their lives be devoted to Moroi. That was just so heart warming. I feel so full in my heart.. bliss✨
At times though, I felt so annoyed with Rose and Lissa. There were many times when Rose kept secrets from Lissa because Lissa needed her and "they come first", or Rose can't let her know because she wants to protect Lissa. That was bullshit. I wanted more #bestiegoals moments, where Rose would share her feelings as well and they deal with stuff together. What happened in the last chapter wouldn't have happened if they were that closely packed. But ofcourse, things were much more complicated than just that.
I love the politics of this world. How we can see so many things change as the series continues. People's contradictory thoughts of how Moroi should be participating as well and Moroi wanting to use and excel at their powers to get some use out of it.. that's amazing!
I love the world-building. There are secrets after secrets coming out, there are no straight answers.. we are discovering them.. and it's something new to me. I am making theories, which before this I rarely ever could. Even in HP, the final mystery of Horcuxes was too difficult for me, but this one is so easy to follow. The story building up, and as Rose comes to a conclusion, me, reader, reach at it at the same time. I love the execution here!!
The characters are beautifully crafted! I love it when in books I care about the characters. In this series, it's like I care about everyone. The narration is so simple and grabbing, I feel like I'm a part of everything that's happening and oh, I want to talk about it so much!! This series is amazing!! Can't wait to pick up next book.
4.99999999 stars. ❤️ Heart.
P.s. what the hell is this cover
