  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

Same pacing issues as every other book, but unfortunately, the beginning 75% wasn't very compelling and the plot twist was so obvious, saw it from book 1 and having the same bad guys again? Over it. The epilogue was quite intriguing though and I'm interested to see what will happen next

 OMG how does this series just keep being this good??

Going to add my live reactions from reading below! Buddy-reading with a friend so wrote them down! Major spoilers for this book below!


THOUGHTS:

IRENE/VALE BUDDY ADVENTURE
But Guantes is DEAD?!
is he a zombie fae now? Did this Professor bring him back?
Kai being poisoned reminds me of Olaf: "Oh look, I've been impaled" XD
Poor Catherine, this is definitely trial by fire
Oh boo I was hoping to see Silver lol. There's always a trip to Hawai'i, I guess
Damn someone REALLY wants to kill them
Lol Sterrington picked the shadiest building ever
CATHERINE, THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO BE INDEPENDENT
Wait so Guantes is ACTUALLY alive?? He wrote her a letter?
Uh oh, more of Kai's totally-not-dysfunctional family...
OMG she's a baby Fae >.<
Only Vale would enter a poisoner's garden through the roof XD
Did someone magically clone Guantes? If so, before or after his death?
OH SHIT Guantes/Professor HAS to be somehow connected to Alberich. That's how he tracked her!
I WAS RIGHT. Didn't expect confirmation a few pages later lol
I don't like Shan Yuan
Ugh he got Catherine captured?? worst brother ever
Welp, there's Alberich
Catherine is faking, right??
Omg I love Irene so much
I have suspected for the whole series that Irene and Alberich are related, am I right????
OF COURSE VALE KNEW
That's genius, Irene getting Catherine into the Library!
THAT EPILOGUE
Okay my guess is the three people at the end are the original Dragon guy (the extra one from the painting), some high Fae, and maybe Coppelia??
