Let me just start off by saying that this book was AWESOME. I stayed up all night to read it and didn't set it down until i was done, though i accidentally fell asleep with it open at some point. Basically it was just amazing. 
 Starting from the first 2 chapters, this book is high energy and full of unanswered questions, many of which are still a mystery!! 
 (view spoiler)[like whats up with sydney's blood? 
 why are the alchemists hiding marcus's existence? 
 will jill ever stop mindlessly showing how much adrian loves sydney through the bond? 
 AND WHY OH WHY CANT ADRIAN AND SYDNEY JUST BE TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY ARE SO PERFECT. 
 Seriously the ending was so frustrating. The fact that adrian and sydney arent together AND jill and eddie arent together is so depressing. 
 I loved all the adrian/sydney stuff in this novel. It was so adorable, especially when adrian did stuff like drop his cigarette because he was so stunned by sydney in her red dress. It was just way too perfect. 
 I can't wait for the next book! I think a lot about the alchemists will be changing in the near future and i think it will all be revolving around sydney and her world in palm springs. (hide spoiler)]
