julieabe89's review against another edition
challenging
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

This was an interesting follow up to the previous books. I cannot take the amount of backstabbing though. It is insane that no one sees it coming.

Believe in magic. Believe in the impossible.
After finishing the third installment, I am officially addicted to this series! It is phenomenal with so many plot twists, I can't keep up. If you are YA/Fantasy fan, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series.

I loved Cleo even more in this one. However, not sure how I feel about Magnus. Never saw that revelation at the end coming. I like him, but still ticked how her treated Cleo. I adore Jonas and like the idea of her and Lysa together.miabluu's review against another edition

I had heard so many good this about this series, so when I started it I was really disappointed because I didn't really like the first book. The plot was good but the characters were plain and boring, the only one I slightly liked was Lucia . I only continued the series because of the plot, but it took me a while to pick up the second book because of that.
When I finally did picked up the second one, I was surprised. The characters turned far more interesting and I could connect to them better. I found myself loving Cleo's and Magnus' chapters, those chapters I used to dislike the most in the first book. The character development from one book to another was quite a nice chance and I really got to enjoy that book.
When I picked up the third one, I was expecting to like it as much as the second one, but one away, I was surprised. I liked this book even more! Now I'm always waiting for Magnus' and Cleo's POV praying so that Lucia's chapter ends already. This book was extremely fact paced and exiting. I can't give it 5 stars yet, but it's pretty close. I'm just hoping the next one is as good as this one.
Lastly let me just say...
...MAGNUS AND CLEO OMG!!

Solidified the series’ position as one of my favorites of all time.
Also solidified magleo as one of my favorite ships of all time.
I have no words.

Oh my god this book was absolutely amazing!! Magnus has become my favorite character and I absolutely love him and Cleo's banter. Oh, I also ship them. What a surprise???
The reason I rated this four stars was that I found Lucia to be quite---- well, very annoying at times. I found the insta-love with Lucia & Alexius to be stupid. Lucia's decision making is just incredibly questionable.
I love where this series is going and there is so many twists and betrayals and deaths!

Nuevamente esta saga logra sorprenderme.
En todo momento hay giros, cuando sientes que hay cosas predecibles, todo vuelve a cambiar, y no se sabe quién es el verdadero villano, en todo momento sale una amenaza mayor.
Lo único que sí me decepcionó fue el tema de Nic y Ashur, así como la forma predecible de solucionar el extraño cuadrado amoroso de Lysandra, Jonas, Cleo y Magnus, todo fue muy... raro, pero predecible.
Tengo mucha curiosidad de qué pasará con Félix y Lucía en el futuro, y sobretodo Amara... algo me dice que podría aliarse con Gaius, habrá que esperar al siguiente libro.
Finalmente empieza la magia a despertar y presiento que en el próximo libro habrá muchísimo DRAMA.

Wow. Wow. WOW!
Oh my gosh I'm in love with this series and this world. I'm constantly surprised and shocked and just EMOTIONS! I honestly feel that the review for it being suitable for "fans of Game of Thrones" is very appropriate! (But for a more YA crowd).
Gah! So many mixed emotions about things that happened in this instalment. I NEED FROZEN TIDES NOW!
Also, Maleo FINALLY happened! *squeals in delight*

So I just finished this two days before the release date (I know! Lucky me. I snagged a copy). Anyway, be prepared to sit down and read this straight through because there's absolutely no putting it down. Don't even account for bathroom breaks. There's no time. Just buy foods that can sit nearby and be snacked on as you fall in love more and more with Morgan Rhodes.
And oh god. My baby. My Magnus. I love him so much. It's so wrong, but it feels so right. Magnus, will you be mine?
