Enjoyable read
If you enjoyed reading the first two books, you’ll enjoy this one. I do think the ending was a bit abrupt but now I’ll just have to wait until the next one comes out to find out what happens! Ah!!!

Although I just finished reading book 3, I wasn’t the biggest fan of book 2 in this series, but because I loved book 1 so much, I had gone ahead and bought the rest of the series, so that means I have to read them all. Gotta get my money’s worth. Overall, I feel like book 1 was the best of the series, and the books that followed just can't compare. There are aspects of each book that I liked, but now I wish I would have just stopped after book 1.
A question I posted in book 1—why is Nola so important?—still hasn’t been answered to my satisfaction. She represented the domes. Okay. And…? Nothing. So why did Jeremy’s father, Capt Ridgeway, order her death? She’s a seventeen year old girl, out in the world/no longer in the domes, and besides knowing how to plant, what does she have going for her? If it were ordering the death of Jeremy, an Outer Guard, then I could see that being believable, but not Nola.
I feel like Nola has changed so much in this series, but not in a good way. For example, book 1, she followed the rules until she went to Nightland. So she matured there; she realized not everyone had the great life she had (even though that should have been obvious with the monthly outings she went on to feed the outsiders).
In book 2, she rewinds and is suddenly in love with Jeremy and a good portion of the story is all about their love for each other, how they care about each other, that they never want to be a part, blah, blah, blah. That’s probably why I only gave it a 2-star.
Then book 3 comes along and Nola is still in this regression phase as I call it, always wanting Jeremy to be there, to help her (even though she says she can do things herself). I’m all for helping others, as Nola wants to do with every emotionally, physically, mentally, etc. person she encounters, but she’s so naïve to think she can save everyone, like in an annoying way. She ends up upset that Emanuel is all eager like her to save everyone. And all her crying? Or all the reassurances Nola and Jeremy give each other? Lord help me! I don’t think she’s grown any since book 1. Like had Jeremy not been around, she would have but he’s holding her back.
Did I mention I’m not a fan of Jeremy and his obsessiveness with Nola? When I read the line, “Anytime I can’t see you to know you’re safe, it’s like someone’s lodged a stone in the back of my lungs” I might have puked a little. Just a little. Figuratively speaking that is. This was the first book/series I’ve read by this author and I felt she overdid his character so much. I’m not sure how anyone would be a fan of him with all his… As I stated in book 2’s review, his psycho-ness. No one can tell me he doesn’t sound like a creeper, someone you’d rather avoid than get to know better because I won’t believe you. Also, on a side note, why/how would a person that doesn’t work with dirt, soil, grass, plants, etc. always naturally smell like fresh earth?
Going back to why she’s important, I don’t think she even knows why she does come across as cocky in this book; for example, “If you’re fool enough to think Emanuel won’t want to me see.” This was said when they were waiting outside the new Nightland home. There’s a revelation, if you will, revealed by Emanuel regarding Nola and how she might be proof there’s hope for humanity. Please don’t tell me that’s why she’s so important, at least him? [insert sarcasm here] Because a single person during the “end of the world” can achieve so much.
The “love triangle” is still apparent in this book also. The fact Nola wants to be with Jeremy yet continues to touch Keiran in ways she probably shouldn’t or for extended amounts of time, yeah… Can we move on from the weird relationships involved in this series?
Besides the continuation of Jeremy essentially being obsessed with Nola and her slowly becoming like him (which I do not like!), I found this book somewhat boring. Like it didn’t hold my attention like the previous two books. I don’t know. Like a lot was going on, sort of, but it just wasn’t working for me. Something I noticed throughout this series is that the author likes to use the phrase along the lines of so-and-so bit their lips together. I also noticed that the author, or perhaps her editor, or someone, likes to italicize any “sound effect” word whether it’s supposed to be (the sentence is specifically describing the sound) or not. See, just some things that stood out to me.
Questions/Comments:
There were a lot of questionable passages I came across, but because I don't want my review to be several pages worth of material, I've shortened it, but you probably won't be able to tell.
One area of the story I’m not sure about is whether the vampires have to continue to take Revamp? I’m guessing they do based on a comment in book 3 about how the Graylock has to be injected in the heart—“Most vampires don’t do it that way since aiming is a bitch and it hurts like hell”—yet why would they have to keep taking it?
Given there are vampires and werewolves, I’m surprised what happens to a baby growing inside one of them hasn’t been brought up. I’m assuming they’re born human, but does that include when both parents are non-human? Eden, for example, is a human, yet her father is a vampire, and I don’t remember anything being said about her mother.
The reader learns that Nightland isn’t the PLACE where they live but the PEOPLE themselves. Okay, whatever. BUT then a few lines later, it reads, “It took a long time to build our TRUE Nightland.” While technically you could build a group of people, as in gather specific people together, that’s obviously not what the above line relates to because they’re talking about the cave system they’re now living in. Which means Nightland is a place and NOT a people.
Nola and Jeremy want to find out what’s going on in the city after the explosions. “We need to know if anyone’s coming after us.” Coming after NIghtland? Coming after them? I just don’t understand why the domes wouldn’t just leave them all alone at this point. Can someone explain this to me? I mean seriously! I don’t get it? But after that above dialogue, Nola thinks to herself, “After Eden.” Why would anyone come specifically for Eden? A child the domes don’t even know about? Okay, had Eden been in the room with them while Nola was thinking, then that would have made more sense, but given Nola hadn’t even seen Eden since she’d given her medicine in book 1, it doesn’t.
Nola has Graylock running through her veins. So why does it seem like she doesn’t really feel pain anymore? Letting the thorns in the briar patch outside pull on her hands, pulling so hard on a door that she breaks bones in her hands, slicing her HANDS (strange I didn’t realize all the pain scenes involved her hands) on the metal gurney. The reader knows that it doesn’t take long for Nola’s wounds to heal. But when Nola goes back to Nightland (the place, not the people), she ends up throwing up by the entrance. “The acid of it throttling her already raw throat.” She’d previously thrown up after seeing all the blood on herself caused by the zombie. Okay. But why wouldn’t her throat have already been healed? As per the descriptions of other “injury” scenes, her wounds heal within minutes of her getting hurt. It’s funny, to me, that after her shoulder heals, after fighting the zombies, they make it into the training room where the vampires are and we’re told they take in her “bloody legs, torn up shoulder…” Yet her shoulder was already healed.
Dr. Wynne removes Jeremy’s bullet from his thigh. He “tipped the scalpel into the wound.” I’m not a doctor but have seen plenty of shows, read plenty of descriptions all relating to removing a bullet. I can’t say I’ve ever read of a scalpel being used, first, to cut the skin (no specifics mentioned), then, second, to magically pull the bullet out. How did he get it out? I can use my imagination and picture the doc making a nice slice, if you picture a hole where the bullet is and then a shape like / next to it so it would look like I/. And he uses that / cut to move the bullet up so it comes out of the original bullet hole, but that seems like it would be overdoing it. I’ve always seen it as the doc using a long pair of tweezers and pulling the bullet out. If there’s any tissue blocking the bullet, then you cut away, but the way the scene was described…?
I found it funny that Jeremy’s response to domers roaming around outside is for everyone in Nightland to leave. Why though? It would be one thing if the guards were roaming around but not regular domers.
Why did Nola assume Emanuel had something to do with T and Beauford coming to see her prior to leaving for the city? She calls Emanuel a bastard because she thought he used “a pregnant girl to make sure we don’t jump ship.” What? Why in the world would Emanuel be worried that they would leave and not come back? Why would Nola and Jeremy leave for good, period? That whole interaction in Nola’s turning-crazy mind made no sense whatsoever.
They’re in the city house after Julien is shot with the arrow. “Outside, the dead leaves rustled, a branch cracked, someone grunted.” Nola ends up yelling out for Jeremy who’s in front of the window, which is about to be blown out. I don’t know if the lines/text got mixed up because it seems strange she would have somehow known the window was going to break prior to anything remotely suggesting it was going to, hence she warns Jeremy beforehand.
A question I posted in book 1—why is Nola so important?—still hasn’t been answered to my satisfaction. She represented the domes. Okay. And…? Nothing. So why did Jeremy’s father, Capt Ridgeway, order her death? She’s a seventeen year old girl, out in the world/no longer in the domes, and besides knowing how to plant, what does she have going for her?

Nola was bait once. She was beaten, betrayed, and put into danger more than once. She had found love with two men, both in their own ways breaking her heart, hardening her heart just in time for the climax of her story. She is in Nightland, under the influence of a life-saving drug that, instead of turning her into a vampire, a werewolf, or a zombie, made her into a superhuman. She is now stronger, faster both in running and healing. A force to be reckoned with, indeed.
Time is ticking, the domes are crumbling after her leaving. She cannot go back. Her bloodline is tainted. She is a traitor to the domes. She doesn’t care. People have died at the domes’ hands. The fires were only sparking and being fanned before, now they are growing.
I have a lot of praise for this series, this book in particular. As gripping as the other two, it almost feels like you are there with her. Filled with more danger, with little blips of humor, the series is close to the end.

What an incredible series by the one and only Megan
O’Russell! Her books captivate me and transport me into her stories where I feel I am living those experiences with my friends for Megan’s books are not just characters in a story-they become my friends and I just have to read faster and faster to see what befalls them! Time ceases to exist in a way because I am so caught up in the story I am reading into the wee hours of the morning each night!!
I recommend this series to both young adult and adult readers for both age groups will enjoy this series! The story settles around the classic battle between those who have and those who don’t-something we all can relate to! In this case the people of the city build dome “cities “ to shelter them from the destructive air, rain and sun of a planet they have destroyed by carelessness. The domes would be fine but the elite who are to live there deem those who built the domes not fit to inhabit what they built and leave them out to suffer the effects of bad air, rain, pollution, lack of food and the necessities of life. Some turn to drugs to forget and become vampires and werewolves both preying on the humans who haven’t changed. Violence of course results but those in the domes have decided to employ the final solution by fire bombing the city and reducing it to ashes. What few stragglers are found leaving the city are given water but unbeknownst to them the container the water is in has a tracking chip so those people can be hunted down and destroyed anytime the domers see fit! Our intrepid heroes are headed to the domes to find out just what is going on and why the wholesale slaughter of innocent lives! What will they find? Well you and I need to get the next book to find out!!
Megan’s books contain excitement, adventure, page turning suspense and everything one could ask for in a novel!! Reading any of Megan’s books is a reading adventure you will long remember! I suggest you get this series Girl of Glass as a box set so you
will have the entire series at your fingertips! You can go from one book from the first to the last and the set will always be right there to reread again and rediscover the excitement you felt the first time you read it!!
I myself am looking forward to reading the next exciting book in this series and finding out just what our heroes uncover in the domes and if the domes have fallen and those responsible for destroying the city punished can the survivors of both the domes and the outsiders coexist peaceably or will the hatred they have for each other forever separate them!
Why not join me on this reading adventure? I know I’ll be glad I did and I feel sure that you will too for Megan’s books are such a joy to read!! There is joy and heartache in them but then life is like that and the struggle to survive and overcome is innate in us all I believe. Can we exist together or can’t we? That’s the theme I come away with in this very intense heart pounding series!

I received a free audio copy of this book directly from the author for an honest review.
I must say this was very hard to stop listening to once I got back into after a few months break from the first book. I loved this book just as much as the first two books although this one did feel like the ending was very abrupt, that’s probably more my problem though because I just wanted more. 🤪 I’d definitely recommend this to any fan of dystopian novels as this one is fantastic. Each character is thought out and the plot is so full of twists and turns you never know who is exactly the ‘good’ guy because the world isn’t just black and white.

Book 3 in Girl of Glass series
Traitor on the run. When choices have all been taken from you, there is but one way - forward. Survival of the domes or banishment and death. Saving the world, but at what cost. Desire to live in peace.
Night of Never picks up where Boy of Blood left off. This book is an adventure-filled dystopian fantasy filled with survival, secrets, acceptance, unlikely allies, twists and turns. Detailed world building and strong character development. Once again, I've become invested in the characters and their path to a better future.
"Surviving is hard. Death is common. Pain is normal."

I thought this was a good series. Supernatural with a twist. Dystopian apocalyptic YA with all the tropes. A likeable heroine that sometimes does dumb things. An overprotective love triangle with both boys that often do dumb things to protect the girl because she does dumb things to save everyone. At least some of the adults have an idea about what is going on. The storytelling is good, fast-paced, and suspenseful. The mystery wasn't given away before the end of the first book. Definitely held my interest enough to continue reading all 4 books.

We continue to follow Nola and her group of friends. It’s crazy to see how Nola unites different characters. I was a bit taken aback in this particular book. I felt like Nola’s character regressed some, but I hope in the next installment we see some character growth. There is definitely some action and it was a fast pace read for me.
The audiobook is fantastic. The narrator does a wonderful job portraying all of the characters and the voices are distinguishable as well.

December 13, 2019I enjoyed this just as much as the first 2, and it was just as hard to put down! I can’t wait to read the next one, because I need more!!

Wow. The city is really in trouble. Werewolves are taking it over. Can Nola and Jeremy find the new Nightland? Fire. Firewall bombs. Danger. Guards. More danger. Fabulous once again.

If you enjoyed books 1 and 2, then book 3 is a good read. I will definitely read the next book to see how things end.

I am not usually a dystopian reader, but I love this book! Especially for a YA read! I flew through the whole series in a few days!

Liked it as much as the first two, it got me out of a reading slump.

Nola’s story continues. Book 2 ended in a cliffhanger and I was not disappointed in how that was resolved. Nola is now hunted by the domers. It also turns out she and her friends are not the only ones who have deserted the dome. This is another great adventure. Can’t wait for book 4.

These books are very hard to put down. The pace of action is good, unexpected things happen frequently, and the story is cracking!
There are cliffhangers between the books, and at the end of the last one Nola was mortally injured. In this book we find out whether she survives, whether she finds Nightland and whether she can be accepted there. A lot of unknowns! Don't worry, read the book and all will become clear.
As usual, the ending means another perilous situation, but the next book is out so straight on to it...
