With each failed attempt to cure the effects of stone hex, Seven is becoming increasingly worried that they will not find the cure in time. Plus, the prejudice toward Spares is at an all-time high, and the Hill Society is trying to take away every last right Spares have. Just when Seven’s life couldn’t get any crazier, the Black Moon Ceremony throws everyone through a whole new loop: all of this year’s witchlings are Spares! Something crazy is happening with magic, and a whole bunch of people are trying to blame all Spares!
I have been absolutely loving this series. I was so excited to get my hands on this book, but unfortunately, the first half suffered pacing issues because there were so many open plot points. While I loved the book, it really felt like two books got squished together and published as a single book. It’s great for me because I feel like I just read two books in the series back to back, but I don’t know if everyone’s going to love that.
The second half of the book was excellent, but it was so fast paced and worked to wrap up so many open plot points that I honestly thought this was the final book. I was like, oh. I guess this is a trilogy! As I got closer to the end, it became clear that this was NOT the final book. I’m so happy that this is not the end!
That said, phew. My poor emotions! This book was heavier than the previous ones as the prejudices against Spares reached new heights in the past and present. There were a lot of revelations that were just crazy while still making perfect sense to the story. While it feels like there were two books jammed into a single book with some pacing issues, it was still an excellent read. The epilogue has me BEYOND excited for the next book, so count me in for book four!
