This book was way too enigmatic for my taste. 6 BOOKS into a series there shouldn't be this much, especially with a clearly defined set of antagonists. Also I can't help but feel that all the back stories are detracting from Arelia's story. And, the volume of quotes and spell ingredients listed in this book, it just felt like so much unnecessary/uninteresting information.
When the story moved it was good. But this book was an uphill battle to finish.

I thought this would be the ending, but I guess not.... This is a truly unique and great series to get into. Don't just jump in it though, read from the beginning because you will be all sorts of lost. Even I was a little after having to wait for the releases.
The story is extremely good, albeit a little confusing. I liked the back stories added this time, but thought the spells, songs and this smell and that smell was too much. It's okay to have some, but it became redundant and exaggerative.

This series literally had me hooked in the beginning. But I just can’t finish this. Shit just keeps happening and I’m just not here for it anymore is all.

I've loved these books from the beginning, but now it's becoming hard to follow and know who is truly on her side...

I truly adore this series. There is just the right amount of research, effort, & passion in their making. The result? A young adult series which examines freedom, life, death, spirituality, morals, & - of course - love. These books are eye opening for someone such as myself, with no previous knowledge of New Orleans' background, nor of Haiti's.
I'm fighting at the bit to get my paws on the next instalment. Just when you start to think things can't get crazier, they do. In the very best way.

I don't know what I will do when this series ends......
Kira Saito is such an amazing author. I can read her books over and over again and every time it feels as though I am watching a movie. She gives you a full visual story in her books. This one was no different. If you haven't read this series from the beginning I highly recommended it!

One of the best series in awhile
I am really enjoying this series and I can't wait for payday to buy book seven! The characters alone makes this series compelling to read and want to continue reading!

Is there a 7th book because that ended as if there should be and if there isn't then I'm very disappointed.
