I think each of the HH books has been better than the last. The sarcasm is one of my favorite things about the series.
There was a lot of action and movement in the book, but I think some character depth would have rounded it out and made it a 5.
The Brannicks have been highly anticipated (by me) and their place in the story felt too shallow and too short. They felt cardboardish. And I don't think I ever read (or maybe I missed) how Grace cause Aislynn to be kicked out of the compound all those years ago. And I wanted to know more about Torin.
I wasn't crazy about the ending- It didn't feel very final and I had trouble picturing the characters carrying on.
And Cal drives me crazy- I know he's not a man of many words, but we never really go to know him. Was she protecting us from the eventual loss? Why don't we know his story? I do love how he looked his coming death in the face with silence and bravery. That's something I'd need to talk to someone about.
For things I liked- Sophie getting her powers back, Archer finding out about his name and past, Sophie reuniting with her family/friends. I was glad they survived.

I got a little bit annoyed with this book because personally, I like Cal more than Archer, but it was still great!
This was incredibly disappointing. I'm going to avoid rating it because I really don't know what to choose.
This book was fun and a good conclusion of the trilogy, but I guess I lost my interest in the story.

Kurzmeinung
Nachdem Cliffhanger vom zweiten Band wollte ich sofort den dritten bzw. letzten Band lesen. Deshalb bin auch wieder sofort in die Handlung rein gekommen. Der dritte Band hat mir genauso gut gefallen wie der zweite Band. Von Anfang an ist der Spannungsbogen immer wieder gestiegen.
Aber ich finde das die Geschichte ein offenes Ende hat. Ok die Handlung ist durch aus abgeschlossen aber irgendwie doch nicht. Mein Gefühl sag mir das die Autorin die Trilogie "Hex Hall" ein Grundbaustein sein sollte. Das da ein Buch Universum erstehen sollte. Die Protagonistin hat ihr Ende schon bekommen. Aber es ist nach meiner Meinung nach noch einiges offen. Dass man daraus noch Bücher schreiben könnte.
