You know those books that once you start you can't stop? That no matter where you are all you can think about is getting to a quiet place and continue reading? That you'll stay up till the early hours and be willing to sacrifice sleep for a few more pages? This is one of those books for me. 
 There was so much going on keeping the plot going strong the entire book. From Adrian's POV to Sydney's POV they both had so much constantly going on that I enjoyed BOTH of their dialogues so much. They're both two characters that are so well built that they really tug at your heart strings. The setting, dialogue, and everything about this novel was 5/5 to me. NOTHING that I can complain about. 
 Summary below.... 
 (view spoiler)[Sydney is stuck in the alchemist re-education camp while Adrian is on the outside looking for her. The only problem though is that the re-education center rarely lets Sydney sleep, and when she does sleep it's never full REM so Adrian isn't capable of dream walking with her. Sydney being the mastermind she is though finds a way around this and is able to finally reach out to Adrian. The relationships she makes within the re-education center are just as touching and I really enjoyed Duncan and Emma who were so different but so alike. It's great seeing how many other alchemists have the same feelings towards the Alchemist. Their torture though? I wanted to cry for Sydney and all the pain that she was being put through. Adrian and Nina? No. Not cool. I understand why though. THE ESCAPE! SO INTENSE! I was on my feet wanting to scream, "RUN SYDNEY RUN!" & the wedding <3 I'm so happy that Adrian and Sydney found a way to prove that nobody would tear them apart from each other no matter how badly they wanted to try. & Jill being taken! I'm thinking it was another witch because the hint that magic was used because Angeline was sleeping. (hide spoiler)] 
 Overall this was amazing. My favorite thus far in any of the Vampire Academy AND Bloodlines series combined. I can't wait for the next installment to come out and see what's to come of the family relations and Lissa's position on the throne.
