(view spoiler)[ The key to defeating the Blood King was his own daughter. (hide spoiler)] 
 My god. My god. My god. This book. Wow. What an ending. What an ending. Such a twist. Awesome book. Morgan did not disappoint. What a wonderful plot, weaved with such skill. Wow Morgan. I bow my hat off to you. The characters were as good as ever, I must say. They were all awesome. 
 First comes her narration, perfect and smooth, yes. As good as the previous book. Then came the skill with which she held my attention. It was even better! I was hooked! Wow. The plot was excellent, with its twists and turns, catching you with the suspense like a spider catches its prey. 
 Next come the characters. Cleo, was as awesome and kickass as ever. I love her and respect her. Next comes good old Jonas, whom I liked a lot. Not as dark and unpredictable as in the previous book but awesome nevertheless. I regret to say that Lucia was not so much in my field of interest, but she was good nevertheless. Regret her loving Alexius, I kinda ship her and Magnus. Magnus. That guy. That awesome guy. His is perhaps the most original this time. The one with I sympathized most. Last time it was Jonas, but this time Magnus beat it. 
 His character perfectly fits my demands for a book crush. Perfectly, mind. He is mysterious, unpredictable, dark, cold, yet with his own list of flaws. Perfectly normal flaws. Filled with the need to prove himself, he is cold and unforgiving like his father. Yet he has his doubts, his moments of weakness, moments which I totally loved. 
 Just because he shed a single tear for his mother doesn't mean he hasn't got a heart of ice. 
 Oh, Cleo, it is Magnus who is the most vulnerable inside indeed. The moment when he overheard Lucia's words on her thoughts on his loving her, that was a strong sign of his weaknesses. 
 On seeing the dagger Magnus had acted entirely on instinct. He hadn't pushed her aside just to be cruel to her, he had done it to... protect her. 
 That moment! Oh, it was so, so sweet. Many might question this, but I sometimes find myself shipping him and Cleo. I know, that is so weird, but I so totally love Magnus, with his mysteriousness and his unpredictability and his faults and sarcasm. Jonas, unfortunately, was unceremoniously kicked out of my crush list, because he got a bit readable. And the ones who make it to my crush list are anything but. Lol me. I'm very picky about it, but I do like Jonas a lot too. Not easy to get over a crush. But Magnus was wonderful. Oh, you must pardon me, I begun to rant about him. Inner fangirl, sorry. 
 But I loved this book. Looking forward desperately to the next one. One thing I learned from this, is that royals would do very well in Hollywood. Weird me, I know. And yeah, I forgot to mention, but I liked the Blood King too. I know, that's weird. Didn't like him, no, I hate him after what he did to Magnus' mother ((what was her name again?)) but his clever mind earned my respect. Only my respect. I hate him but I respect him. Well, I'll log off with a smattering of applause again to Morgan Rhodes. She really is awesome.
