Mica (miccca) hey I finished this book today, and I liked it. It wasn't amazing but it was fun and entertaining.

Dimitra | 3 comments I still haven't started this reread, i'm dragging it out cause my book will take at least a month to arrive and i want CoG fresh in my memory but i will start soon cause i missed it.. The problem i have with this is the "fake marriage" trope, which is really weird cause i usually like that trope. Yet when i realized where this was going i was like "nope. not this ship. not here" like it's not a good enough trope for this ship, afraid it would compromise or ruin the best parts of their relationship... But i am excited, even though terrified (like always with Cassie), we'll see..

Mica (miccca) So there were many things that I liked and many that I did not, such as:
• Lucie and James characters faded with the relationship between Anna, Cordelia and Matthew (which is funny)
• it is a very long book where there are few moments of action (the same happened in the books we read before)
• There is EXCESS romance, and yes, all good they are teenagers but not everything in life is romance
• The main characters end up being all of them (it's a lot) and in the end we end up knowing almost nothing about anyone
• false marriage WHAT, why the solution to all problems is marriage.
WOW that's a long list .sorry

“In fact, not even so much as a theory as a hypothesis,” said Christopher. “We have not proved it yet, or even tested it. And I am not sure how it would change their plans or behavior. It may be one demon, but it acts as many demons, and that is what they are seeking to combat.”

Christopher is so smart

“I saved some of its ichor,” said Christopher, producing from somewhere on his person a corked test tube full of a greenish substance. “I caution all of you not to drink any of it.”


LEX MALLA, LEX NULLA.

“Drink, and you will sleep; sleep, and you will not sin; do not sin, and you will be saved; therefore, drink and be saved.”

“The last time I saw you shocked was when that Iblis demon was sending Christopher love letters.” “I have a dark charm,” said Christopher sadly.


「美佳」liesolitte Geez I haven't started the book but they say it's better than TID. I really hope so, I was getting sad with Cassandra's work.

Mica (miccca) LOL I hated TDI, I could never feel anything with the characters, the story, the poor love triangle and the ending. but this book was fun, I don't know if it was better, but fun. I think it is too long and has a lot of love filling, but that is something that cassandra has been doing since TDI. Another thing is that she does not end up developing any character, but well it is not that she did before (in my opinion)
