It took me forever to finally sit down and read / finish this book. I think a lot of you know why, but I will avoid saying due to spoilers. It's no surprise to people who are fans of Richelle Mead to know that she definitely puts her characters through the ringer. Usually she reserves this for book 3 of a series, but when The Indigo Spell ended rather happily, I was hoping Sydney and Adrian would avoid that fate. Of course Richelle Mead couldn't spare us and after entering into a relationship in The Indigo Spell, Sydney and Adrian find keeping their relationship secret become more and more of a challenge. I like how they never faltered though. Just because it was going to be difficult they didn't give up. 
 I will say that I am kind of happy I waited so long to read this because now that Silver Shadows is out I don't have to wait long to get the conclusion to the cliffhanger at the end of Fiery Heart (just as long as my library takes!) 
 Really, this series (along with Vampire Academy) is great and Richelle Mead does great with making her readers care so much for the characters.
