Really, an emphasis on short. I wish he actually gave more information instead of just basic facts. For a book titled Notre Dame... there's actually very little content.

I don't think I enjoyed this as much as I did the first book. Again, magic system was the best part. It was interesting to see how it developed even further in this book. I do also like the characters and they continue to make these books enjoyable. The combo of these two things, I think, made any issue I have with the plot (which was fairly predictable at times) moot, for the most part.

It was interesting to learn about both Van Goghs. I just wish there was more information provided. It felt a bit light.

I really enjoyed this. I thought the magic system and the world was interesting and even though there were a few predictable moments, it wasn't enough to take me out of the story.

It's short and there's not much room for development.

It's just not for me right now.

Unfortunately, this book was really disappointing..Maybe it's just because it came out after I aged out of the main series, but even after rereading the entire series, I still couldn't bring myself to like the book. The main three books and even the novellas hold up really well for a second read years later. This book was painfully dull in comparison. 

I know that there's a suspension of belief for these kinds of ya dystopian books and that's the genre works. Bracken created great characters that I will always love and her world-building was fantastic throughout the original series. I can understand characters changing as they grow but in The Darkest Legacy, much of Zu's perspective just doesn't feel right. In fact, all of the characters feel rather similar, create nicknames the same way, and don't feel like individual, hnique characters. 

The worst part, the part that make it so difficult to get through this book, was how Bracken seemed to completely change the rules of the book universe...which is bold, and could have been really cool. I only wish it worked.

It was a nice light-hearted read. I didn't find it as interesting as the first one, but I am curious about the central mystery.

This was a really lovely conclusion to the series and I'm sad to have reached the last one. 

The collection was nice, but I wish there were other characters involved with it as well.
