Sorceress by Claudia Gray
3.0
Despite having such a dark premise, this book was nauseatingly sappy. Don’t get me wrong, Team Not Evil had plenty of despairing moments, but as the reader I never really felt it. I also didn’t really feel the romances — partly because the couples are mostly in HEA mode (or as close to it as possible with the impending apocalypse), which demonstrated most of the things that disappoint me in YA romance subplots.
I remember really liking this series when I started it, so it could just be the Boss Battle Effect that almost inevitably diminishes my enjoyment of the series finale. Or it could be the way this book constantly swings between extremes, with all-or-nothing plot twists that don’t always pan out. It was a decent read, but hardly spectacular.
