bookstorianreads 's review for:
The Demon Tide
by Laurie Forest
Warning: I have not had time to process my feelings. So this is purely stream of consciousness. I just finished reading the book minutes ago.

I saw one review that went: I feel betrayed.
Yup. That pretty much sums it up. I want to end this whole series with just The Shadow Wand and wish this book out of existence.
Like SERIOUSLY?!
I called this plot two years ago after reading TSW. I predicted Vogel was going to try to corrupt Lukas and then Lukas would have to sacrifice himself, thus freeing the way for Yvan and Elloren to be together. But then I told myself, the author wouldn't do anything that obvious. Right? Right?
WRONG. Yes she did. And she did it in such a cringey way as well. All these multiple POVs that I don't give a sh*t about, everyone pairing up, sharing kisses (honestly, it felt like The Bachelor at one point *barf). And then she fasts Elloren to Vogel (we have chapters named Elloren VOGEL, for crying out loud. It made me want to puke every time I saw it.) And yet again, Elloren has to be rescued, because the girl can't be strong enough to wield her own power, despite the many sacrifices people have made for her.
And speaking of sacrifices. Lukas dying. Lukas giving himself up while having to watch Elloren and Yvan kissing. And then having his sacrifice all for nothing?! He truly was the best character in this book. And it broke my heart to see him killed off.
I don't know. I'm obviously upset. I hate this book. I saw the Lukas death spoiler even before I read this blasted thing, which I wanted to kick myself for in the beginning but now I'm seeing as a blessing in disguise. Because I don't know how I would've handled Lukas' death in real time.
I hate it so much that I don't even know if I'll be reading the last one.
UGH.
