Finally we see the real Sydney I feel like. A strong character with a mind of her own and capable of thinking for herself. A strong female lead who will do anything to save her friends (no matter what they are) and family. Sydney truly stepped out of her shell I feel like in this book. I love Adrian and I'm so glad that for once we were capable of seeing him happy. I feel as though we've been fighting to see Adrian happy since Vampire Academy and this whole book up until the end just radiated with Adrian joy. 
 What I hated: 
 Wayy too much time was spent on building Sydney and Adrians relationship. I knew what that was like from the beginning of the book. I felt as though the entire book just revolved too much around them. I wish there had been more done with magic since she's finally getting so in tune with that. Those were some of my favorite scenes! 
 What I loved: 
 The magic! Sydney finally having an opinion of her own. The love. The passion. & realizing who your true friends are. 
 The ending was WAY intense and sudden. I love how the intertwined it with Adrian and Sydney where Eddie is bloody and you know something has gone wrong, and than you read what has gone wrong from Sydneys point of view. That little bitch Zoe. Couldn't stand her this entire book. This series is phenomenal though and I highly highly suggest it to anyone!
