Ash and Quill by Rachel Caine

5.0

Wow, what an ending! I totally loved this latest edition of THE GREAT LIBRARY series, which was full of drama, revelations, suspense, love, and betrayal. The story was fierce and dramatic for the first half, after the characters were kidnapped by rebels, adding a new perspective to this dark and grim world. From there, as Jess and his friends began creating a weapon of terrible power and Morgan's powers became more ferocious than ever, it was all I could do not to stop reading! It was great to see and learn more about characters I'm addicted to (also give poor Santi a break, yeesh!), and watch them overcome trials that I couldn't imagine trying to overcome. But hard choices need to be made and not every mission can be considered a success. There's a HUGE betrayal at the end and while it didn't make me angry at the character behind it (mostly because I'm just about to start book four), let's just say that it's not going to end well. I honestly can't get enough of the writing, characters, and lore of this world, and hope other readers pick it up and enjoy it!
