I really loved this book. It is definitely my favourite book in the series so far. I enjoyed reading it and need to know what happens next in the story.
In this book, the Guardian novices are getting ready for their qualification exam, where they have to protect a Moroi student in six weeks. But Rose has difficulties focusing when she starts to see Mason's ghost. So now she has to figure out what is going on and why she sees him. Lissa is battling with spirit, and it nearly goes wrong and turns even worse when Rose takes the darkness from Lissa. The relationship between Rose and Dimitri evolves throughout this book. Which made me really happy.
But the ending is just heartbreaking, and I cried my eyes out reading it.
We also get to see more of Adrian, who is trying to learn about spirit with Lissa. He also turns out to be the Moroi Queens nephew. Jeanine Hathaway also makes an appearance in this book.
The only reason this is not a 5 star is that it also has this info dump that annoyed me in book 2. Otherwise, I LOVED the book.
