This book found me skimming through the pages. I came to the conclusion and realisation that there was a lot of unnecessary waffling, almost as if it was an absurd requirement to extend the story for the sake of it. But to no purpose. The most exciting part of this book was when Nikki went to deal with Clara. And that for me was the only entertaining part of this book. I have never really thought that this series would go, or extend in this extent for seven books. However book eight is due out soon and I seriously hope that there has been some endeavour to inject more action and excitement to keep me reading. Added to the fact that there is considerable frustration regarding all the characters in this story. I have never read a book, let alone a series, whereby everybody is referred to as I. Sometimes I don't know who I is speaking. Everybody is I. Regardless of whatever you think, this is not grammatically correct. Just refer back to all the books you've read. You'll see exactly what I mean. Can you imagine someone conjuring up a spell, via a mage or witch or wizard or whatever. All the posturing taking so much time would get them killed. I have found this book in particular, slow and boring. Emma could do so much better. Is she losing her way with the storyline? Maybe.
Boring and frustrating. It was hard to focus due to the same ole thing. The same slow pace with nothing really happening.
Clara sucks. She's a self entitled brat and it makes no sense how she gets talked up or why anyone remotely likes her. She makes stupid decisions and doesn't talk to anyone about what's going on. She knows a better way to learn but doesn't open up about it. She's a child who continues to hurt people on purpose and doesn't stop to consider her mess-ups until it all comes crashing down on her. Instead of listening to anyone, she either continues to hold onto her self entitled beliefs that she should be able to do whatever she wants because she thinks it is the right thing to do despite how it hurts others, or realizes she messed up and makes things worse by continuing to not listen to anyone.
The author is doing this on purpose, or she wouldn't have all the other characters around her pointing out all these things. It's frustrating to watch the main character get worse and worse. It's at the point where it feels like killing her off is the best way to get rid of the bad situation that is Clara. It's hard to understand how anyone could be on her side.
I've become tired of hearing detailed explanations about the human world. I know these things. It reads like it's made for someone who doesn't. Why aren't we learning similar details about the vampire world?
The whole thing feels like a waste of time. I did enjoy a few previous books but these last few have been so hard to get through.
Great story with vivid characters that are like old friends. Coming along on Clara and Elliott's adventures is my guilty pleasure. Love this series of books can't wait for the next one
Clara is a POS sociopath who hasn’t faced any consequences for her diabolical, immoral, and spoiled behavior. She inflicts pain and near death experiences on her friends and protectors, is insanely rude to teachers with centuries of experience they’re trying to share with her, and makes poor and selfish choices. She betrays her friends and their family members to fulfill her ignorant whims. But not to worry, everyone around her assures her that none of it is her fault and enables her arrogant behavior.
This series has changed from being an exciting page turner to find out what is happening next, to, a day in the life of..... one plot line has now dragged on for 7, yes 7 books now, which is a shame as this series had so much potential. It looks like 'the end of the world' that our heroins are going to save, may not happen till, maybe book 20 or even longer at the rate the story is moving along. Clara has turned into a spoiled brat and although aged in the series has not gained any maturity or wisdom. Her relationship with Elliot has not moved any further forward and is the relationship of a 14 year old girl, not a 20 year old woman. Picking daisies, 'does he love me, does he not'. Suspense story writing is thrilling but that has now been lost with the plot being dragged out for so long. The author has got sloppy as she doesn't seem to know where the story is going or how the characters are to develop, they are very 2 diamential and you are now starting to loose interest in them. There are so many stories that could be told within this world that has been created and none of them have been explored. It's now time to move on to a better written series.
If I ever have to read 'smirk ' again, I think I will throw up. I thought I would get to the end of this ponderous saga with this episode but no, there seem to be more in the pipeline.
I didn't even bother to skim this and try to entertain myself by counting the frequency of the usage of 'smirk '!

Overall, the novel is a delicate yet powerful meditation on the intertwining of love and pain, showcasing Glass's talent for capturing deep emotions through a unique storytelling lens.
This book takes very little advancements in the plot but does add to the lore. I heavily dislike the dark academia switch from the adventure the first books set. The witch started turning bad and the wicked vampire turns good. Still a huge fan of Nikki. We do get spice 🌶️ in this book but no details of said spice 😂 We also fly through 2 years when supposedly calamity is around the corner 🙄
I gave this a higher score due to one thing. Nikki. 😝
We just continue to move forward, though a little more aggressively, as the evil shows itself. I’m not sure why the human world subplot continues to matter, and I don’t trust the grandmother dreams. I’m also not really liking Clara much at all. It’s all just lackluster. If it wasn’t for having the whole series on audiobook, I wouldn’t have made it past book 3.
I am intrigued at how this story plays out, heck I just finished the 7th book. My question is who is actually proof reading these books? The spelling and grammar errors are outrageous. Its embarrassing.
