Finished

(view spoiler)[For some reason, I didn't remember enjoying this book as much on my first read through. I know it comes right after my favorite, book 4, and I think I was just too much on the high of that one to enjoy this as much, or at least in memory.

However, on a reread, it is a really compelling book, and while not as lifechanging for Kate as the last book, it introduced a few new important characters and had large charges for existing ones.

I really love the world they built and the addition of the Lightkeepers was well done. I wish they could have stayed around a few more books. They could probably be the villains of their own series, but alas, they only are in this one. (hide spoiler)]

Through Chapter 6

(view spoiler)[This is my second read of the book, but I remember the storyline the least apparently. So I’m trying to put it together as I go.

I do like bringing back Rene. That was always something I enjoy about the series is that characters drift in and out of the books. It’s rare that you never hear from someone again if they parted on goodish terms with Kate.

She definitely makes her personality known to people and that helped her get this job. (hide spoiler)]

Starting now. Team Draco Malfoy
