Spoiler
Cora is a traitor and kills the queen and the king together with her brotherSpoiler
they just defeat Osaron and not one of the main characters dies. The random explanation of Alcuard towards the end felt a bit misplaced as wellSpoiler
Alucard’s sister died, and I felt no emotionsSpoiler
it was so predictable that he would die because none of the main characters could die, of courseGraphic: Violence, Torture, Alcohol, Blood, Death, and Death of parent

Sometimes the book felt a bit too long, especially the first hundred pages or so but that does not take much from Schwab's writing style, it is just easy to forget that the scene cover barely a week and not, say, two.
On the other hand there are some things I forgot that had me shocked when I remembered.
Spoiler
I do wish we would have known what happened with Kelly's parents.Every plotline had a logical and satisfying ending.
Recommend for being one of my favourite series.
