Review:
This series keeps getting better and better! Yay, for Sydney finally opening up and starting to be herself.! With the help of Ms.Te she begins to learn magic and how to cast various spells. Though she is still wary of the power that magic brings she starts to see how it could help her defend herself amongst enemies and make her abilities even stronger.
Sydney also is starting to trust her instincts and doubt what the Alchemists have told her over they years. She can see through their lies and wonders what they’ve been trying to find all these years, Between her working with former alchemist, Marcus Finch, and admitting her romantic intentions for handsome Moroi, Adrian Dashkov, Sydney’s walls are starting to break down.
The main storyline becomes even more intense in the novel as Sydney is hunted down as a target for her magic abilities while continuing to protect Jill. These leads up to some fantastic fight scenes through the novel and a climatic action-packed battle towards the end.
Final Verdict:
I’m looking forward to seeing romantic relationship continues, especially after the shocker at the end of the book as well as finding out what the Alchemists are hiding. 4 out of 5 stars!
