How it reads
- I have a love hate relationship with this book. Don't get me wrong it is an amazing book to read and the plot is great - there is just the slight inkling in me which always wants a happy ending. In this book we finally see Rose and Dimitri accepting their feelings for each other. We also experience more of what Rose might experience when she becomes a guardian in the royal court. In addition, more is revealed about what it means to be shadow-kissed and some abilities Rose receives due to it. However, the ending just breaks me. As soon as i picked it up on this read through I knew how it was going to end..... I am looking forward to my reread of Blood Promise.
- I did not see that coming ... I don't think I will ever get over what happened in this book
