Yet again I am in awe of ms wolff. 

Just when I thought the cliffhanger of crave couldn’t be beaten the ending of this one left me yearning so aggressively I am one button away from insta ordering the rest of the series.  

There’s tragedy and grief throughout this book and it shows how saving someone or thinking you may have the right idea or plan in place may not always be the case. Not only do we get to see Grace become a strong independent gargoyle in her own right but we see Hudson develop as a character in such a unique manner as he is stuck in graces mind until he can be brought back due to the failed ceremony from the last book.  

I couldn’t put this down despite it being a huge book and I cannot sit to get into the rest of this series.

4.5

Starten wir mal mit dem Cover: WOW
Es ist unbeschreiblich schön und sobald man weiß, was es zeigt, kann man es nur noch mehr wertschätzen.

Und umso geschockter sein, wenn man weiß, was für Monster den Blutstein woraus geschaffen haben.

Was die Story betrifft:
Ich kann nur sagen,  dass mich Band zwei der Katmere-Academy-Reihe gefesselt hat und ich auch diesen Band verschlungen habe. Die Geschichte ging stets voran und man wusste gar nicht, an welcher Stelle man das Buch zur Seite legen darf zum Schlafen, Zähne putzen, essen (das geht wunderbar parallel).

Mir war relativ früh klar, dass Hudson nicht das ist, als was er dargestellt wird und habe irgendwann angefangen für ihn zu fiebern, während ich Jaxon immer nerviger und machohafter fand. 
Ich weiß bloß nicht, warum Xavier sterben musste :´(
Ich kann Tracy Wolff nur loben, wie sie die Leser auf den nächsten Bösewicht vorbereitet und immer wieder wissen für die Zukunft einfließen lässt.

Wie gut, dass ich den dritten Band schon bereitliegen habe

It took a long time to get to the “exciting stuff.” But once you got 50% of the way through the book, it was impossible to put down.

3.0

i thought parts of this book were boring, mainly the slice of life stuff or talking about the sport ludares. i will say i was absolutely a sucker for the

dancing in the laundry room scene

, but the rest of it could have been toned down a bit. 

i also found a lot of parts regarding

jaxon and hudson’s interactions with grace

to be super cheesy in a cringey way. i wish some of that was different but it wasn’t the worst either. 

i was annoyed that the major climax at the end was mainly the

ludares trial. i thought it was kind of weird that a highschool sport was meant to be some intense event that allows someone to hold a seat at the governing body that controls like all of supernatural beings and their laws.

i loved the last line of the book a lot, def a great way to leave off until the next book. the last line points to something that i was hoping for anyways, so now im even more excited to go to the next book. i probably would have given 4 stars if there was less of the fluff since it made the book really long. otherwise, i will probably buy physical copies of the whole series since i’ve been loaning it from my library but like it enough to buy.
