 loved: Al & Bis. 
 loathed: the repetition of scenes until near the end. 
 Rachel's Trent BS until the final paragragh. 
 overall, disappointed. it felt like a chore reading it, forcing myself not to skim-read. 
 Some parts I loved... what I didn't... 
 ***** 
 Reviewing at 60%, and I'm seriously considering DNFing this book. I'm serious. I even bought the signed hardcover of my favorite UF series of all time. The final book, and I'm considering skipping to the last chapter after reading 12 1/2 books in the series. 
 The name of The Witch with No Name... Redundant. Repetitious 
 The entire plot goes as follows. 
 Rachel is wishy-washy, waffling back and forth between keeping Trent and letting him go (mind you, he doesn't want to go). We have to hear about his virtues. Constantly. These not-so random thoughts pop up mid-action-scene and while she is with Trent. No less than 100 of these self-destructive moments of monologue in the first 60%. 
 I could have counted wrong, and by wrong, I mean not making the number large enough. I just read the 14th kidnap/murder plot/threat to Ivy's life by Cormel. That is the only major plot point in the book. You will experience it every chapter. Every chapter is filled with Rachel's waffling over Trent & Ivy's pending doom. 
 Every chapter. 
 Ivy is hardly ever on-scene, but Nina always is. We, the readers, (Rachel) only experience Ivy when she's running on-scene, sometimes we only hear her scream, where she is immediately abducted by Cormel's ppl. 
 Why this new phenomenon confuses me: Ivy was always the last line of defense, when Rachel was in trouble, Ivy rode in to save the day. Without Fail. Trent's home was like Fort Knox. Now, Ivy gets stolen from Trent's house (Twice, I believe). It is guaranteed, if Ivy comes on-scene, for one second, KIDNAPPED/MURDER PLOT. 
 60%. Again, Ivy is kidnapped & Rachel is coming to save the day. While driving to meet Cormel, here is a quote, like the 100 before it. He shouldn't be here. He's too important <-- that's why I'm reviewing right now instead of in 40% more. I wanted to get this down before I imploded. 
 Even in the beginning, Ivy is dying, and instead of getting to safety while in the Everafter, Bis had to bring in Nina, Trent, and Jenks, then he had to bring them out while they fought the Surface Demons, all instead of simply bringing Ivy out first, and then Rachel, leaving the others out of it. & he wasn't even quick about it. There was a lot of downtime instead of saving Ivy's life. The entire book reads with this ridiculous redundancy, and that's what starts it off on a bad note. 
 Don't get me wrong. I LOVED the Hollows series. Was a massive fangirl. Would tell everyone about Harrison's skill as a writer. I'm not seeing it in this book. Not at all. Which is a pity since it's the finale of one of my favorite books. 
 How many times in 13 books have they all almost died? Thousands? So why now, while we are going on and on about how virtuous Trent is, is Rachel throwing a fit about him using torture on a vampire? How many creatures had he killed, had they all killed up to this point? Thousands? Why put that in there? Why all this Trent propaganda? Are we to believe Trent is too stupid to make up his OWN mind? He says he loves Rachel (squee) but she brushes it off as semi-permanent, because he should do his duty. 
 ***okay, I've vented enough to calm down. Time to try again***
