Да, мои ожидания не оправдались - после накала второй книги я ждала чего-то более впечатляющего в самом конце. И всё же, всё же это лучшее романтическое YA, прочитанное мной за последние три года. А ещё я благодарна Томас, что она не ленится доводить до конца все линии, которые нужно закончить, разрешать все важные конфликты. Мне грустно расставаться с Титом и Иолантой (и я, несомненно, буду перечитывать), но нет ощущения того, что что-то недодали, как было после окончания "Earth Girl" Эдвардс. no reviews | add a review

Okay, so this book here? Continuously downward, counting from book 1.
I DO NOT CARE TO BE SPOON-FED!
Too much info-dumping.
Too many too convenient things.
I resent being cheated out of a good read.
Kudos for science triumphing when magic couldn't.
The glbtq thing thrown in at the end is baffling in the light of its absence until then - not a single allusion, as I recall.
Epilogue is a bit of a curve-ball, but I can see this happening.
CONVENIENCE DOES NOT A GOOD BOOK MAKE.
FINAL VERDICT: SO DISAPPOINTING. TRY AT YOUR OWN PERIL ( )
