Out of all the books so far this should have been the most exciting and fast paced. This was where all the action was supposed to happen. But there was so much.....clutter is the best word I have to describe all the stuff I started skimming because it just dragged the story down. I understand why the author would have wanted it all in but I’m just not sure it was necessary. And the weird relationship between the two main characters seemed to change but I’m not sure when and then it didn’t really? Disappointed in this one, I really thought this was where the series would pick up and shine. And don’t get me wrong there was good stuff in here, it was just buried.

These books are always fun. I really grew to like Lily and Sebastian and felt myself very invested in them and the relationship between them, which developed in this book. The world also expanded a lot in this book, which was very interesting. We learned more about the fae, which added a whole new element to the world. I loved that we got some more information about Sebastian's past as well.
All in all, it was a very satisfying book, much like the others have been. There are still some questions left unanswered, but not too many. I look forward to finding out the answers in the future! This series is a lot of fun, and I really like how unique the magic is in it. I'll definitely keep an eye out for news of future installments.

I want the next book yesterday
I guess my biggest complaint with this story and well the series is the lack of physical reminders. Like I know that Lily normally keeps her hair in a bun but not with sticks because she's afraid she'll hurt herself. What I don't remember because if it was mentioned it was never reiterated, is what color is Lily's hair? How long is it? What colors are their eyes? While I don't need the descriptions drilled into my mind the occasional reminder helps to keep the mental picture in my mind.
That said I've gotten used to the bookended point of view style of Sherrer's writing and appreciate that there are no longer massive time gaps between points of view. I love how she's finally brought us up close and personal with her leading characters as the series has progressed. I love how with each book the world continues to grow and include more characters but Sherrer takes the time to remind us of the older characters from other tales in the series by.mentioning them or including a small scene with them. Like with many series the danger was increased from the prior novel and this novels is even more of a page turner than the last. Definitely a great read.
