My favorite of the series so far.

3.75 stars

The beginning was irritating and self sacrifice tends to get annoying.

SO good. To the next one!!

Ugh, tears! So good!

Well... Apollyon was pretty much a whole lot of depressing. I'd definitely recommend reading the free e-novella Elixir first, or otherwise the first few chapters will be a bit confusing. There are heart-stopping twists and moments to fangirl over, as well as some comic relief (mostly courtesy of Alex snark, though there are some great Aiden one-liners), but this book has a much darker tone than its predecessors. I think it's mostly because Alex and co. are forced to come to terms with exactly what's at stake, and because a huge part of this novel is the fact that Alex has to fight herself. There's a lot of interesting character development, and while the ending isn't a cliffhanger, it's sort of painful to read.

Oh my God! I can not wait for Sentinel to come out! This did not end well at all and I was left looking for a last page that did no exist. I hate damn cliff hangers now! Why cant authors at least give us a nice conclusive paragraph or something. Ugh!
This book was just made of awesome!
