Reliable entertainment. It's always fun to see recurring characters as always. Frost definitely follows a formula, it's solid, so why change it. Picking up any books in this connected world is a guaranteed good time. I wish there was more relationship stuff between Vlad and Veritas.

I feel like this book exemplifies the book trope ‘no time to tell you the plan’
Why tell someone a plan that really effects them before doing it?
That’s ridic, stahp it!
This happens so many times in this book it’s painful.
It was also very predictable for some of it’s twists.
I liked the first two books even though they also had the same trope issue. I think the lack of Ian was the thing that made me really meh about this one. He is the character I really like. Veritas was always alright to me.

Den här serien gick åt en sådan konstigt håll. Jag har nu läst i stort sätt alla böcker i den här världen men är så besviken på Ians böcker. Den är "all over the place". Ena stunden handlar det om att leta reda på demoner, sedan andra boken minns jag knappt och nu den här gången så jagar de helt plötsligt gudar. På något sätt så blir det ingen bra koppling och inget ordentligt avslut då jag tycker inte att Veritas lyckas övertyga sitt andra jag.

Så synd att alla böcker som inte berör Bones och Kat har varit ganska tråkiga.

Wicked All Night felt a little rushed to me, which made me sad, because I love Ian and Verity so much! There was a lot going on, but everything was fast and furious.

Il ritmo è molto serrato (a volte addirittura frettoloso), ma adoro Ian e Veritas e l'ho trovato piacevole! Però la trovata del malvagio fidanzato respinto l'avevamo già vista per Cat, questo mi ha deluso. Il finale andava curato un po' di più, mi è mancato molto un epilogo: tutti i cambiamenti sociali, politici e dell'intera umanità vengono risolti in una mezza paginetta di pensieri di Veritas... Non credo sia colpa dell'autrice, temo che l'editore abbia tagliato troppo per risparmiare pagine. Brutta mossa, è stato castrante!

Was that the for real end of this series? They were fighting and then two sentences later it was the end. Very unsatisfied with the ending.

*Read as audiobook*

First time through this last book. LOTS of stuff happens. Very heavy on the urban fantasy/adventure/battle type plot, very low on steam and romance. Which is fine, but I still miss it. Veritas is a badass. She's definitely the strongest female in this series in terms of powers/what she can do. And I think she is perfect for Ian. And it was cool seeing all the big characters of the entire series come together to defeat the big bads.

Overall a good trilogy but I still prefer Vlad's off shoot and the Cat & Bones main plot more than the Ian trilogy.

Ian’s been one of my favorite characters since his first appearance with Cat and Bones. I liked seeing more of Ashael in this book too, getting to see who he is and how he’s fit in with everyone. The ending was pretty abrupt, though. I thought there would’ve been more to the end details. But overall, I liked the book and was entertained by it like all the rest set in this world.
