There is something about this book that just speaks to me. I love the writing style and different voices mixed with backstories. It gives dynamic to the story and lots of tension, definitely a page-turner. :)
Vale succeeded in his mission. People that use to be trapped inside of Glass Vault are no out, immortal and powerful. The aid in his mission, collecting souls for the Vault, turning people into glass. Leading them is Vale and his Bride.
I enjoyed reading the flashbacks, it adds depth to the characters and sheds a light on what was lost. There is significant character development in this one. I love reading about Maisie (she is my favorite :)) getting to know her and seeing that there is more to her, that just goofy side characters, she is loyal and smart and determined. I liked Perrie a lot more than in the first one, though I have to admit I like her a lot more as a Bride, she was just so ruthless. :)
It such a great book, I highly recommend it!!
(While edits are not so evident, as in the first one -for me at least, they definitely made the book better. :))

This one was such a surprise. After reading the first one, that was... OK, I thought to give it a try. And I am so glad I did because The Bride of Glass is so amazing. :)
Difference between the first one and the second one is incredible. Usually, for me at least, the first book in the series is great and the next ones are... OK. Here is the other was around. :)
So, Perrie is Bride, under Vale's control, transforming people in the Glass Vault left and right. She has this amazing powers. He is abusive and controlling, using her in every way. After a few days out of the Vault, she starts to remember and run away, but he will search for her. She was never my favorite character (I couldn't connect with her in the first one), I like her a bit better now. We see her grow and develop.
Maisie and Neven are looking for Perrie, to save her from Vale's clutches. She is definitely my favorite part of the series. So special and unique, however, there is depth to her. I love that there is more of her in the book.
The story of what is happening now is intertwined with characters stories of the past. We get to know them and understand them a bit more. Especially Maisie and Vale. And the romance... it's just sooo sweet.
The world portrait in this series in as interesting, as scary at the same time. I was on the edge of my seat, there are a lot of twists and turns. I wanted to know what happens and at the same time didn't want to finish it. :)
Highly recommend it!
