This book is hilarious! Never thought a classic book would be this funny, usually they're straight up serious, but my god i laughed my heart out while reading this book! Love the interactions between charles and sophy, and also the dynamic between sophy and other characters, especially her cousins.

A very heartwarming book. It takes me to the Alps even if I've never going out of my country before. Somehow i got the nostalgic feeling when i read it

Rereading this series as an adult makes me realized how... terribly dangerous their adventures are... Honestly it's a miracle they still alive without any serious scars, and somehow their parents don't really make a big deal😂

One of my question through reading the book is how many suitcases of canned food did they bring to their adventures? Seriously tho, all they do, besides the adventure obviously, is opening dozens of canned food yet they never ran out of food😂

Buku penutup dari seri Hex Hall. Awalnya aku pikir setelah ini masih ada lanjutannya, makanya agak bingung pas bukunya selesai. Ternyata School Spirits spin-offnya aja😂

Entah ya, aku merasa pendalaman karakter di buku Spell Bound ini bisa lebih dikulik lagi, terutama Mrs. Casnoff. Di sini, Mrs. Casnoff digambarkan sebagai karakter abu-abu. Jelas beliau tidak setuju dengan apa yang dilakukan Lara, mencoba untuk bantu Sophie dkk sebisanya. Sophie sempat ajak Mrs. Casnoff mengobrol tapi beliau terkesan pasif dan tidak hidup. Sebagai musuh utama, rasanya Casnoff bersaudara tidak terlalu dibahas, malah seperti karakter selingan yang kebetulan di pihak jahat aja gitu.

Jujur aku pribadi masih ga percaya dengan nasib Cal. Maksudku, ya, takdir itu dapat dimengerti. Mengingat kalau Cal hidup, pasti akan memperumit suasana (dan hidup Cal akan jauh lebih nyelekit karena Sophie cintanya sama Archer lol) karena dia cinta Sophie😂 but at least he got what he wants in the end, being able to stay on hex hall forever even as a ghost. A little bittersweet but hey he's happy. 

Elodie di sini... Can't help but liking her more and more as i read the book. She lowkey likes Cal so she also gets her happy ending, kind of?

Endingnya gantung banget! Meskipun kayaknya bisa sedikit ditebak apa yang akan terjadi selanjutnya

Oke jadi Demonglass buku kedua dari Hex Hall series. Berbeda dengan buku pertamanya, di sini Sophie, dengan Jenna dan Cal, pergi "berlibur musim panas" di Markas Besar Dewan, London. Sophie belajar banyak hal mengenai demon, berkenalan dengan beberapa orang baru, temu kangen dengan seseorang, terlibat dengan hal-hal yang membahayakan (serius deh, kayaknya ga bisa ya sehari saja sophie terhindar dari masalah😩). Well, ada beberapa twist yang sangat membuat pembaca, aka me, tercengang dan ga sabar untuk baca buku selanjutnya haha
