dark mysterious medium-paced

3.5

Another one that wasn't really high up there on my favorites from this series. I liked getting to revisit characters and to get a good conclusion to Jack & Jill's story, but I wasn't that invested in the storyline.

bisexualwentworth's review against another edition

4.5

This was a good one! I definitely like the ensemble/school books in this series better than the door ones. They’re more fun and less moralistic. Loved revisiting Kade and Sumi and Christopher and even Cora. Kade deserves his own book! And Jack and Jill (and Alexis) and the Moors are super fascinating, so it was nice to revisit and resolve that whole arc. 

I’ve heard mixed things about the next two books in the series, so I might wait for book eight to come out before I read any further.
