First sentence: “I had my back to the room as I stared out the
window”
Plot: Wendy is once again faced with one
hard decision after another. In the choice between her own life and the lives
of her people, can she find a way to save herself and the rest of the Trylle?
And what about love? Wendy is starting to realize that maybe life with Tove isn’t
going to be enough for her.
My thoughts: Oh my god. For those who thought
there wasn’t enough action in the last book. Here you go! This book has got
action, friendship, family and some love scenes that are to die for. Even
though I got this book spoiled for me earlier I enjoyed reading it and I’m very
happy with how it all turned out. Wendy evolves more during this book and she finally
comes to terms with the fact that just because Finn was her first “love” it
doesn’t mean that he has to be her only love. We also get to see Wendy’s mother
Elora finally letting go of her regal ways, she finally lets her guard down and
she and Wendy start some kind of mother/daughter relationship.
The only bad thing I have to say about this book is that I hate that every
single book ends with marriage and babies. Why is that necessary? Fifty Shades,
Twilight and now this. I mean I love happy endings but it just feels so ”been
there done that”. Other than that I loved the book and the entire series. I’m
looking forward to reading some more of Amanda’s books. I think the next one
will be “Wake” but before that I have a lot of other books that needs reading.
