Holy fuck. Holy fuck!! This book. I am speechless and yet I have all the things to say. But first, holy shit, this was a wild ride and it’s definitely one you have to read if you’re reading The Tarot Sequence series. There are so many pieces of information that were littered through this that are finally starting to pull (some, not all) things together. My brain while reading this was like one of those conspiracy theory boards with all the strings connecting the things together.
And holy shit! I can’t forget about my favorite characters! I loved seeing some of the events of The Hourglass Throne through Quinn, Max, and Anna’s perspective. I also loved seeing the adventures that they got up to while away from their adults. I loved that Anna is finally starting to grow into her powers, and that Max is gaining the confidence he’ll need to be a leader, and that Quinn is still finding ways to be mysterious and cryptic. God, I love these kids so much! I’m so excited for their spin off series. And now I really, really need to get my hands on the next Tarot Sequence book. I can’t wait to see how all the info drops in this book will effect the next one. The Eidolon is getting a solid five stars!

I'm not sure how to rate this book. It's a companion piece to The Hourglass Throne and I would encourage anyone who doesn't remember details to reread it before starting Eidolon (unlike me; I guess I would enjoy it a bit more had I done that). I loved small, family moments (epilogue <3) and I enjoyed seeing kids working as a team. I was not as engaged in the actual plot as I would like, though, and sometimes felt a bit lost. Anna's POV felt a bit choppy, as if I couldn't understand her inner voice enough. Boys were better, even Quinn with his cryptic remarks :) I can't wait for the next novel.
The book itself is gorgeous. Illustrations, sprayed edges, the naked hardback, beautiful. Definitely worth the money.

I've loved every book in the Tarot Sequence but this one really drove home that I'll get to settle into this world and enjoy it for a long time yet. I can't wait for more.
