Once again I am singing Renee Dugan's praises, this book exceeded all my expectations (and I had high ones considering the first 2 books were fantastic too)! There is more mature, darker content that I think is very appropriate given the plot. Cistine has been taken prisoner and is abused and sexually harassed and while I hate for anyone, fictional or not, to go through that I found it very compelling. I am so happy that even though there is so much suffering in this book, there is also some pure joy. Tatiana and Quill finally join and Cistine and Thorne finally share their first beautifully romantic and magical kiss!

I truly cannot put into words how much I adore this series more and more with each book I read! Renee Dugan does such a fantabulous job developing each character in the book even if they aren't the main focus. I love the covers and the obvious thought that went into them and the book titles (I see what you did there Renee).

I can't wait to start reading Lightfall (literally the moment I post this review)! Lots of love!

I absolutely loved this book! I regret not reading it the moment it came out but at the same time I am kicking myself for not waiting for the next book. It was beautifully written and I must thank Brianne Wik for including a tigger warning at the beginning of the book. Evy is a stong and inspiring young woman and I can't particularly speak to how well her PTSD was written but I thought it was clear but not overpowering. I appreciated that she was portrayed as more than just her PTSD. I also must say how much I love Ryker and Liam. I honestly don't know how I'd choose which one if I were Evy, they are both amazing men who I would very much like to marry. They are kind and they understand that Evy will talk to them when she wants to. So much in literature, we read about men who are so pushy and can't allow the woman to be away from them and this was so refreshing. And don't get me started on the icon that is Becca. She is hilarious and I love a woman who isn't afraid of speaking her mind.

I was surprised at how quick of a read this book was. I started reading it when I went to bed and I had it finished in 3 hours! I literally could not put it down no matter how many times my mom told me to go to bed.

I must also give a big thanks to Kathryn Marie for telling me I should read this book because boy she was so right.

This is now one of my favorite books and I can't wait to read what happens next! Lots of love!

First off, if I could give this book a high rating I would. Second, I ran to my computer immediately after finishing this book because I just had to write a review on this book while it was still fresh in my mind. In my review of the first book, I remarked on the humanity of Cistine and Julian's relationship but honestly I liked Cistine and Thorne together better but I was afraid to say that and now I can easily say that Cistine and Julian are not at all suited for each other. Julian constantly underminds Cistine's authority and is toxic for her. (Thank you Renee for giving Cistine a love interest that was not the first guy she meets.) You almost made me cry and I appreciate that you were able to write such a compelling death. This book was so good and it was definitely worth waiting weeks to get! I love how you are naming the books after the characters' names. It is so genius! Cistine's continued character development was absolutely delightful to read and she is a wonderful role model! Tati's drinking problem (and her overcoming it) was a wonderful addition in the book that I feel really enhanced her character. Honestly, the whole cabel was fantastically developed and the reveal at the end was astonishing and such a great cliff hanger! Renee, you once again wrote a fabulous book that makes me so upset that I don't have the next one right now (it has been ordered though). I can't wait to see what you do next! Lots of love!

This book was...how do I put this?...well this book was phenomenal beyond words! I can't begin to describe all the things I loved about this book. To start, I loved Cistine's character development; she went from a spoiled brat princess to a badass warrior. I love her! I also loved how Cistine and Julian's relationship isn't perfect like in most fantasy ya novels (they get into a pretty big argument). And don't get me started on how every single person in the Cabel is wonderfully developed and not just side characters that help move the plot along.
I absolutely love how the book was written and I think this is some of the best world building I have ever read. Renee Dugan did an incredible job with this story and the characters, and I can't wait to read what she does next!

Absolutely a modern classic. I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. This novel absolutely blew me away. I loved the descriptive language and the poetic flow.

This is the first Holly Black book that I have had zero problems with. I loved every second of it and was sucked into the world. I enjoyed how it entertained commentary on the economic class system our world has in place, it was interesting to see it played out in an urban fantasy.

Thank you to the author for sending me a free copy.

This book felt reminiscent of the dystopian books I was obsessed with in middle school. I would have loved to read this one back then. I also liked how over the course of the book, I could tell the author was gaining more confidence in her writing because the style really solidified. I hope there is a sequel because it definitely has great potential for one.

An absolutely fascinating book that I'm sure will forever take up space in my brain. The only thing I didn't like was how older Henry treated younger Clare when he went back in time. It was gross.

Definitely better than the one I read first. It had more of a plot.

I enjoyed parts of the book but during others I found my eyes skipping around. It didn't really hold my attention.
