Most of you know this The Bone Witch trilogy is a series I hold very close to my heart, but I truly have been looking at this word document for the last twenty minutes completely unable to start this review. I’m not ready to say goodbye, and I’m equal parts in denial that it’s over, but in ...more

A bittersweet but a stellar conclusion for The Bone Witch trilogy.
The last leg on Tea’s journey rendered me speechless. Though I anticipated what’s coming for her, I sobbed like a baby. It was heart-wrenching especially Tea shared a strong bond with everyone. You can’t help rooting for her throughout the book.

Shadowglass is the last book in The Bone Witch trilogy, the author did an amazing job concluding this series. There was no loose ends or plot holes. Since this book is a conclusion to the series there were a lot of revelations here, we finally know why Tea got exiled, what the Faceless actually wanted to do,the events that made Fox dislike her, what happened to Kalen and who the traitor is. The plot started immediately from where The Heart Forger ended. Tea has finally acquired Shadowglass with

This broke me. If I had a heartsglass, it would be shattered into perpetually bleeding shards stained with my tears.

I am struggling to write this review with tears in my eyes because I can’t believe this amazing trilogy is already over and I can’t experience it for the first time ever again. I’m so happy and sad to have been a part of this reading journey and I have not felt this emotional and satisfied with a series conclusion in a long while. I have a lot to say, so there will probably be a lot of spoilers for the previous two books but I will try to be as vague as possible for this one, so proceed with cau

The Shadowglass was good. I thought it would be the end of the series but the author had other ideas.
Book 4 is uncalled for.
Book 4 should not exist at all.
Book 4 is stretching the plot too far.
I'd like to say I won't read Book 4 but that'd be kinda impossible.

“I am sorry about many things, but I am not sorry about this.”
I’ve been trying to write this review for a few minutes now, but I still can’t convey the words to describe this third and final book. I really can’t understand how this trilogy is so underrated, because I truly believe this is one of the best YA fantasy stories out there. Rin Chupeco has created a powerful story with an intricate world-building, complex siblings relationships, a beautiful and heartbreaking romance, and an outstan

How do I read another book after THAT ending?! Sobbing because it was absolutely beautiful seeing Tea's journey throughout the whole trilogy - from a naive and innocent trainee with the ability to raise the dead, to a powerful and revered Dark Asha who can control powerful daeva (demons) from the grave.
Tea is an ultimate anti-heroine who doesn't care what anyone else thinks of her - even if sometimes, it's her closest that lets her down - she's definitely someone with conviction and a strong mo ...more

Wowowowowow.
Such a satisfying conclusion to what has been one of my favorite fantasy series. Maybe the pacing suffered a bit in the beginning, but it improved so much. This series was always about different kinds of love, and the strength that we can draw from them, and it was absolutely beautiful to see such earnest love in every single page.

DNF - pg. 180
I just... don't care enough to finish this. The first 80-90 pages were decent and quite the improvement upon Bone Witch and Heart Forger, but the rest of what I read was more of the same horrid writing, lifeless characters, pointless worldbuilding and an untameable need to make Tea look like the best ever. I didn't even get to the Likh (view spoiler) and Khalad bits I heard about (they are my faves, but at what cost)!

Though it has a satisfying conclusion (and it did make me cry), The Shadowglass is a satisfactory ending to The Bone Witch series which, unfortunately, drags a bit too much for my liking.

I think this is 4.5 stars for me.
The Shadowglass is the third and final book in the Bone Witch trilogy, and it finally has the two stories of Tea tying together. It's really action packed, which sometimes left me a little tired. I'm not a huge fan of non stop action.
Also sometimes I got confused between the past and the present, like when they were fighting the Drychta army in both times? I kept forgetting which was which, and only the presence of daeva made me remember which was which.

So I did a thing. I finally finished this trilogy!
So The Shadow Glass was good. Not sure if it was better than the second book but it was better than the first. Heck, anything at this point was better than the first book. In it, you are still with the same gang but Tea is definitely going through some trials on her own. It kind of feels like she has the whole weight of the world on her shoulders and she's just trying to save her loved ones.

I love this series so much. This is a fantastic ending and I will be crying forever. The best way to end 2020 was rereading this book. This is probably one of the best endings to a series I've ever read. Up until the very last page Chupeco had my attention. Also Emily Woo Zeller is such a phenomenal narrator, like my heart. The last 20 pages or so just had my bawling. There are so many feelings and so much sacrifice these characters have gone through to get to where they are. The ending is equal

I had a tough time reading this book. I took a bit of a break from it midway because I wasn't that into it (which is really odd considering I gave The Heart Forger 5 stars). Now that I've finished it, I feel quite underwhelmed with it as a conclusion but it's difficult to explain why.
