At first I was a bit skeptical. I haven't been a fan of Violette from the beginning but after this book I grew to like her. I absolutely loved Sebastian even though he was entirely mental. Freda Warrington has quite a way with words and she is capable of making you fall in love and sympathize with every character- yes, even the villains. The first book will always be my favorite but this comes close thus far in the series.

I knew religion was a big ploy in the books and the mystery of what The Crystal Ring really is but I wasn't expecting the ending. Freda spun an exceptional tale with this piece!

I probably could have read this a lot faster if I hadn't been so busy with work. It was incredibly hard to put down!
