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.

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.

A little better than the first one, but ya know... it's like watching trash tv. You can turn your brain off and just enjoy the chaos.

Mad that Xavier was killed off, like what was the point in his character to just be killed. I get someone had to die at that point but it was a dumb decision.

Also lmao at the ending. Jump scare for the narration change to Hudson.

2/5 🌶️

A great step up from the last one, it delved deeper into world building and added new characters while developing the characters we already know and fleshing out their personalities even more. I would definitely reread to see what I missed the first time around because there’s little Easter egg details that are easy to miss throughout.

Twilight, but make it Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, but also make it the Harry Potter and the goblet of fire, but also make it gen z. 
Not as good as good as the first but enjoyable. You can see the final page twist coming from 4000 miles away, but I don’t hate it. Just a little cliche.
