I think this might be one of my favorites in the series so far! I loved the progression with Adrian and Sydney, it makes me so happy! There was a ton of action in this book, like always. Sydney's sister was an added "cousin" to the family in this too, which I didn't like. Zoe irritated me so bad, and kinda ruined everything by the end... 
 The alchemists are such terrible, terrible people. And Sydney's dad is the worst. I'm so proud of Sydney for standing with her beliefs and not giving in. Re-education is not moral, and it's just a terrible thing to do to someone. 
 The story building in this book is even better then the others. Lots of details, and new ideas added into the book! Mead never fails to amaze me. I also liked the new added characters in this too. 
 Overall, I loved it, even if it took so long to finish! I can't wait for the next one. 
 5/5 stars!
