A great finish to the Caster Chronicles series. I am happy that Ethan made it back but sad at the loss that was required to make that happen.

This is a DNF for me because after dragging thru almost 3 books I just don't care anymore. It feels like the storyline is just going round and round, without adding anything new (or interesting).

I have kept up with badly written, juvenile writing just to get to the end of a story, but even I couldn't take any more. It just felt more and more like the Twilight saga moved south of the Mason-Dixon line. I already struggled thru that mess once, I can't do it again.

Plus, would someone introduce the author to some real male teenagers? Where did that inner voice come from?… (more)

Although this book was almost 600 pages long, it somehow felt hollow and I didn't feel the length at all. This was a cheeky southern-gothic-fantasy novel laced with teenage romance. Overall it wasn't an amazing read but it wasn't bad at all; an easy and fun read that doesn't pack as much depth as I expected.
