Fun and quick, I enjoyed this book although it is a change of pace from Vampire Academy. Where Rose is fiery and driving, Sydney is cool and logical, which changes the pace of the book (note that this changed for me with book 2, where Sydney comes into her own and Mead seems to really find Sydney's voice). As always, Mead doesn't shy away from tougher subjects and for Sydney that is addressing her body image issues. While it's a smaller aspect of the series, I appreciated that Mead put it in the story in a realistic way. I enjoyed the look at a new section of the VA world.

I really enjoyed this last book in the series. Watching Katniss deal with the aftermath of the events in the books was interesting and sad and realistic. I have heard comments that the writing in this book feels so different from the first two that some readers didn't enjoy it as much. I did not feel this as much as others because I think Katniss is a different person from how she first started and so the stylistic change made sense to me.

An amazing–albeit heartbreaking–end to the series. Each time I finish, I miss the characters and the world.

One of my favorite book series. I love the characters and the world of these books and enjoy re-reading them every few years.

Another book series that I could not put down.

This is a great YA vampire series filled with engaging characters who each bring their own strengths to the story. Mead doesn't shy away from difficult subjects and it's to her credit throughout the entire series. I couldn't put these books down.

I enjoy all of Mead's writing, but I think this is my favorite series by her. Fun and all quick reads, her characters are engaging and I enjoyed finding out more and more about Georgina throughout the series.
