 Stars (Out of 10): 9.5 
 Overall Thoughts: This book lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I love how connected all the plots are and how much the simplest actions mattered in the end. There was a lot of pay offs and a lot of set ups that I hoped get payed off later on. 
 Spoilers begin here 
 The Good: The characters are all very interesting. The plot is set up well. The pacing is so much better due to the inter connectivity of the characters' story lines. 
 The Bad: The fire elemental could have had a little more build up. 
 The Characters: Magnus and Cleo are still my faves. Jonas really shone in this one. Lucia had a few moments I really liked, but she is still is a bit too insane for my taste. 
 The Plot: Finally, the Kindred really shine. There are going to be so many consequences in the next book. 
 The World Building: We expanded more on the Kaeshians and learned more about the motivations behind the Watchers. 
 The Stereotypical Tropes: The Chosen One, A Prophecy, No One is Safe 
 The Favorite Character: Cleo
