MY THOUGHTS
Have you seen how gorgeous the cover is? *grabby hands*
This series is one of my favourite among YA high fantasy books. It's basically Game of Thrones... But for teens. The world is rich and complex, I love that you get to read the point of view of the "guardians" of Mytica, it's unique, it's like reading from the Fates if we were in a Greek perspective. Of course, I have my favourite characters, but every point of view adds something to the story, because everyone is seeking the Kindred and has a different perspective. Also, I'm a Cleo/Magnus shipper, so I can't wait to see what will happen to them in this book. This is the fourth book so A LOT will happen. I have high hopes for this one, I pray that it won't be a little disappointment like Queen of Shadows, who also was a fourth book.
I really need to start this series. I read the first in the spin off series and really enjoyed it so I don't know why I haven't picked these up.
