HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT THIS HAS A TITLE I AM EMOTIONAL OH MY GOD.

will i ever stop editing this? haha no i will not
i will write you a love letter, ms schwab, just for a teaser.
i will write you as many bad and cringe worthy love letters as i possibly can for this book.
hopefully you'd just prefer fan letters but do know that love letters are an option.

OKAY I DON'T NEED HIS FIRST NAME ANYMORE.
i just need this book in my hands like right now

Can't Mackenzie just like... break into the school's offices or whatever and look for Wesley's file...
I just really want to find out his first name, is that so much to ask for?

I am very much hoping that Mackenzie and Wesley become Crew here because I really wanna find out Wesley's first name.

Oh my god.
Let this be true.

7/15/2019: Kind of insane that I initially wrote this 5 years ago and I'M STILL WAITING.

PLEASE tell me this is going to happen. Please. Because I need more Wesley Ayers in my life.

Edit 8/6/2014: IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN! http://veschwab.tumblr.com/post/92246...

4.27.21 update Sometimes I dream about this book and just wonder....

orginal review

Apparently I haven't already marked this as too read? Whatever. I don't think I'll be able to trust again until this book actually exists.

Dear Victoria,

You know you want to write this, you know we all want you to write this... I bet the characters are screaming from within: "let us out, let us tell the whole story!"

I hope you will..
Soon..

I feel like Schwab lost interest in this book. And series, probably. The Darker Shade of Magic series is cool and all, but shouldn't this take precedence?

Please don't give up on Book 3. I can't thoroughly explain in words how much of an impact reading The Archived and The Unbound did in my life. I've lost a lot of my loved ones and how I wish there was some way I can see them again or maybe even bring them back. Reading this series, no matter how painful and relatable the story is, also saved me from depression and all my what-ifs in life. Please Victoria, I really hope you can give me the Book 3. I am dying to know what happens next. This book comforted me more than any human being can do for me. Please! I cannot wait to hear what comes next. Your biggest fan.

Finally some closure we're getting a final book, thank goodness this is one of my favorite trilogies and I just hope it all wraps up nicely and now we wait to see the cover and of course a final summery which I'm looking forward to seeing whenever we get one but still I'm looking forward to this.

Speaking of which Victoria Scott we still need closure for the Fire & Flood series yeah that still needs to happen too! Just putting that out there.

ngI, as much as I LOVE this series, Victoria stated that as much as she wants to bring us the 3rd book, she stated that it most likely would not happen due to sales and publishing reasons. :( I am literally brawling my eyes out. I need more of Mac and Wes in my life. Even stating it was a cancelled series.

Things Victoria needs to work with the third book...
- Lyndsey (the bff) she’s almost non-existent. Take her off the book and nothing will change the main story. I want more of her involvement with Mac!
- Crew Partnership of Wes and Mac
- Wesley’s first name
- Sako
- other branches of the Archive (to expand the world)

I just realized today that I've been waiting 5 years for this book. All the agony and desperation and feels of waiting came back in a rush. When will we ever be free?!
