I was so sad in this one as to what Elias has had to become....I need him in the human world! 

This one is so dark. The final battle at the end is so bloody (at one point the Blood Shrike, who I really liked in this book, was just covered in enemy blood). Marcus is an evil Emperor and man and the Commandant is just becoming worse. Laia is trying to stop Nightbringer but she's having difficulty having the last piece of the Star (I'm not sure what it was and how the Nightbringer got it to completion).

There was a twist for Laia that I was totally shocked with. I liked how this twist finally stepped up at the end. 

I am very excited to read the conclusion to this series!
