So I finished this book yesterday. But I had to study for midterms, so here I am today, telling you how awesome this book was.
We ar following Sarah, Sean, Niall, Elodie, Nicholas and friends a couple of week later the events on Tide's end.
They're in Polony and they're trying to find the door to the World of Shadows so they can find and kill the king of the shadows.
They have been growing and changing since the last book, decisions were maden and sides were took. Now we don't know who is on who's sides and that's what makes the difference between life and death.
Sarah has completely turned into a badass female, now she can control her powers, her mind and heart are clear and she knows what is happening. She is a soldier in a war bigger than her and she is more determined than ever to win it.
Sean received some news last book and he is trying to realize a way for him to live with them. He has a big responsibility but he is just a man a he is wondering what path he should take.
Nicholas took a decision on the last book and he is carrying with the hard consequences of it, his father has no mercy. This is the part where I struggle, bc he is showing something and doing other, and now I actually trust him. In the first book and half the second one, I hated him, but at the end of Tide I couldn't, he took a big risk, he made a jump of faith and he didn't care about the consequences. So in this one I was actually trusting him.
He had developed this bond with Elodie that was actually a good thing. She being a pysiquic was always able to tell if something was wrong, or if he was feeling something else. Besides he has a great power (*He really likes to say it -I'm fire- said Niall with a big smile) and it was necessary having him in battle, so she is the one in who he trusts in those moments. Frankly their bond was a reaaaaaaally good thing. Not just for others, but also for each other.
Elodie on the other side is sick. Something is happening with her and that started in Italy. She has been having this visions about the future from months ago where she has seen the end and it's not good, for anyone. She is trying to stop those events turning into the actual future, but all of them, specially Sarah took the decision, and after that everything seems to blur.
Niall, my favorite guy of the whole trilogy, has found someone and everytime I was reading his POV I was just sooo freaking happy that I couldn't stop smiling. He is like a piece of sunshine in thet Shadowy world of these books. He is always happy, even in the worst situations. he likes to see the positive side on everything and even when he had suffered a lot he keeps trying to be the best he can.
In this one some new characters appeared, ones that are actually quite important, with incredible abilities, they can save them or destroy them. But either ways the future is on their hands.
I honestly loved the settings in this book, the relationship between all of them, it was just amazing. I really love about this book that she made things clare. The feelings of all of the characters are quite obvious. They tell you what they are doing and why, so at the end when some stuff happens you don't get too surprise. She goes straight to the point in a lot of stuff and that was refreshing.
I'm pretty sure that the problem of the writing style it has all to do with the traduction because this books are just fantasticals. Everytime they were under attack I was able to see the whole scene in my mind. It can be turned into a movie and end up great.
The final battle with the king of the shadows was just marvellous. I was suffering and happy because of it.
And that Ending. OMG that ending. It was just mind blowing!!!
Something is happening here, while something happens there, and suddenly there!!! I was just OMG.
*She* and Nicholas at the end was just AWESOMEZING.
These books are very well written, with an amazing plot, really enjoyable characters and they're just sooo addictive that you would want to finish them on the same day you start them.
They are so easy to read that they took me out of my reading slump. It was sooooo entertaining.
Highly highly recommended.
4.5 Midnight stars!!!!
