The Cover is slightly deceiving but really only to me. I thought that was the crystal Crown and she'd take it from Victor but that isn't what happened.CAWPILECharactersVhalla:needs to stop getting angry at aldrick for secrets. That don't matter. Like the rumors. Vhalla being bonded to Victor is GROSSS. Yuck. Loved the way the perverted bond is displayed and showcased though. Aldrick: stayed changed because he changed for the right reasons. Very dedicated to Vhalla. Wants to marry her for the right reasons. While very important has less character change in this book.Jax: his murder revelation was not what I was expecting in this book, but his pardon is 100% legit and necessary. He did the right thing. Vi: the “mother” in disguise perhaps. Who knows. Very interesting characterSehra: able to purge the Crystal Bond temporarily. Has knowledge of previous magic from Crescent City's. not a nice person, but a good person.Daniel: semi happy he lived. Glad he exited the story as he did.AtmosphereGreat imagery and scenery. Lots of great descriptorsWritingGreat at writing very emotional scenes. That can really cut youPlotGood plot. Wish we had a little more denouement. But I'm also very satisfied with the ending. InvestmentThe first part was a little slow for me, but once I hit 40% I was all inLogicThe characters still acted a bit like teenagers, but they are still young and so I can forgive that. The way the magic worked made sense, except for the crystals all breaking at the end. EnjoymentVery much enjoyed this bookMiscSpecial Watch from Aldrick or MAGIC!!!! Obvious choice . have aldrick make a new watch. Easy peasy. Don't know why they got so worked up about it.Windwakers are really good at hide and seek. But maybe for this very important final battle they could've been helpfulVhalla actually using her magic as a windwalker. Directing blades and scythes of air. Swinging a blade by pointing!Fritz is a poor choice for Head Sorcerer, but at least Grahm is there to be a shadow Head sorcerer. Vhalla and the Library scene. Just gold
