A glorious way to bring the series to a close. I <i>need</i> more.

I agree with you completely, she's grown so much throughout the series, and I love that she's not this epic badass fighter. She makes me feel like I could be in her shoes, and a fantastic fighter I am not. She's badass in her own way though, and I loved every second I got to spend in her world.

I'll probably end up reading books 2 and 3 close in time so I don't forget what happens in between. I'm really excited at seeing the relationship between Elisa and Hector deepen because it was so obvious that he cared about her in the first book.

Ever...Um, I'm really missing out, aren't I? Everyone says this series is good - no, not good, AMAZING. I need to get started. I'm a huge fan of fantasy and Elisa sounds like a character I'd really like. Great review, Ashley!

I think I gave it 3.5 stars the first time I read it, and then when I re-read it I liked a LOT more than I did the first time around. But the second book? Just SO GOOD. And this book, I feel, even brings it up a notch.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-79757890325986401072013-07-19T15:44:11.333-04:002013-07-19T15:44:11.333-04:00Oh yes!!

I totally agree that she doesn't drag things out. Without being spoilery, I'll just say I thought it would take the whole book to cross paths with a certain guard. So happy it didn't! :) I'm excited to finish it, but I don't want it to be over. <br />Great review.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221304377970098013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-33881818164739432832013-07-19T09:32:22.313-04:002013-07-19T09:32:22.313-04:00I haven't read this series!
