After much thinking, I think that this is more like 4 stars. I am not saying that I didn't love it because I did! SO much! I'm just slightly disappointed with the ending. I never pictured Sydrian to play house. I always pictured them living in Europe, traveling. Adrian driving Sydney across Greece, Spain, in an expensive sports car while Sydney admired everything. 
 I don't know, that was what i had in mind. It was still a good ending. Obviously there is going to be more in this world because a lot of things were not answered: Moroi's fighting with magic, spirit and how it can help. . . 
 Can't wait for that!
