I just... 
 I can't with this series. And I can't because it is SO GOOD. 
 Crystal Storm was a little slower than previous instalments, but shit if the ending wasn't explosive. In fact, it was fucking harrowing. Basically, don't even talk to me about the ending. 
 (view spoiler)[Someone needs to find Kurtis and kill him in like a really disgusting way because nobody gets to torture my trash king sweetheart Magnus and live to tell of it. I swear to god, when they put the lid on that coffin and began to bury him, my stomach turned and I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Burying people alive is another level of sick shit. 
 Remember the alchemist guy that Sam and Dean buried alive in season 3 of Supernatural? Yeah, he was a dick who went around murdering people for his unhygienic organ harvest but I still ended up feeling sorry for him when they buried him alive. It just makes my skin crawl. (hide spoiler)] 
 It's a testament to how unbelievably enjoyable these books are that I'm dishing out four stars, despite all of the errors in editing (punctuation marks missing, whole words missing, characters' names spelled wrong, you get the idea) and the frequently unnatural stilted dialogue. The writing is as simplistic as it always has been, and not in a good way, but who cares when the story is as gripping as this? This series is one whose flaws I really don't give a shit about, because I love it so much. And I never expected to love it. But I came to know it's heart. (view spoiler)[Like Cleo came to know Magnus's. Jesus christ, I'm getting all emotional. (hide spoiler)] 
 Look, all I can say is that I'm choking for the next one and crushed that it's not out tomorrow. Why is it not out tomorrow? Balls.
