A review by desertlover
Crystal Storm by Morgan Rhodes
4.0
4.5 STARS
My review doesn't have spoilers for this book, but if you haven't read previous books, you might want to look away after this paragraph. This is one of my favorite YA/HF Series and my expectations are always high when it comes to this group. Overall, I absolutely loved it and my only complaint is it needed to be longer. There are so many points of views, and while I like the way the story is told, the events themselves felt shorter than previous books. As always, there are countless twists and turns, and a killer ending that sent my reeling and cursing Morgan Rhodes. I really hope book 6 isn't the final installment. I'm not ready for this series to close.
Chapter Breakdowns - Slight spoilers for previous books only:
Magnus - hands down my favorite chapters. I've never gone from despising a character so much to loving them so completely. He's such a smarta$$ but he continues his inner battles and doing what he believes is best. His moments with Jonas (SHOCKER) were some of my favorites. Those two are going to end up friends at some point, I just know it.
Cleo - I've always adored her but she did have a few annoying moments. Not sure if that because I adore Magus and dislike when she's hurtful to him.
Jonas - He's still a top fav, but did seem a little darker at moments in this one. I couldn't get enough of his character and wanted more of his story.
Lucia - I am enthralled with the continuing evolution of her situation. Some of her earlier chapters were slow, but the endings were some of my favs. I cannot wait to see more of her in the next book.
Amara - My least favorite chapters because they distracted from my favorites above. Every story must have a villain, and she definitely fits the bill for this one. However, we all know quickly this series can change.
Is it December 2017 yet??
