I loved this series.
At first it was a bit of intrigue and romance. Next it was plot, intrigue with a hint of romance. This book was all out adventure.
I loved the growth that Yelena underwent throughout the book. She had faults. Huge faults you could park a horse in and I loved her for that. She often overestimated her abilities and was constantly getting into things too big for her.
I loved the world. I can't wait to get started on the Glass series again and knowing the basis for this world and the inside of Ixia and Sitia I'm keen.
I loved some of the descriptions in this book. The plot can be clunky and yet there are some great lines and descriptions.
I can't wait to read them all again.

omggggggggg. the ending. was. so... OMG. wished they got married. like OH. EM. GEE. YOU'VE JUST GOT TO READ IT PEEPS.
I loved the way the novel ended; it was very well organised and there was suspense left after every chapter; every page; every paragraph. The clues were all building up but what shocked me was the twist that occurred towards the ending. Roze Featherstone? Really? Or should I say... Jal Daviian?
The thing was... I just couldn't stopped reading. I continued reading on the bus, in the middle of class and late into the night, the suspense was eating at me.
After all the wariness that Yalena had throughout the story, I, myself was also wary of Cahil's change of heart; how did we know we could trust him?
I continually screamed through my thoughts at Yalena for all the mistakes she made. Things like: 'Yalena! Hello~! Valek is like right behind you!' or 'OMG Yalena! Don't trust that bastard. He's a son of a bitch!' or 'OH. EM. GEE. Yalena, girl, don't walk into his trap! Isn't it obvious.. (agitated) YALENA. STOP. NO. JUST NO. OH GREAT.'
When the novel ended I felt miserable. I wanted to know more. More! Even though there's the Glass Trilogy, it's about Opal, and really, I never liked her... she's well... in my opinion, a bit on an attention seeker. Reading the Glass Trilogy before the Study Trilogy was a mistake that I paid. I loved Yalena's story. Loved! Loved! Loved! I just can't seem to find the novellas of this book such as Assassin Study, Ice Study and Power Study. -screaming-
AHH!

I initially reviewed this above 3 stars thinking it was not the final book of a trilogy but a smaller part of a larger series. Knowing now what I do the ending is largely unfulfilling. As is the plot of the novel on a whole. I'm sure this is to leave room to explore the world, but to just leave it empty and incomplete (as a trilogy) seems a bit silly?

I like the characters and the plot was interesting, but it took me so long to finish.

I didn't like this as well as the rest of the series, but it was still a good book. One thing that soured it for me a little was all the recapping, throughout the whole book. I guess that might be a good thing if I had read the previous books a long time ago, but since I had just finished them, it got to be a little annoying. I don't need every little detail repeated about every person and thing, I already know.
