During her bleakest moment, however, she's forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love-a boy who died in battle-returns in spirit form. ![]() Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley Black watches as desperate mourners flock to séances and spirit photographers for comfort, but she herself has never believed in ghosts. Americans roam the streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza, and the government ships young men to the front lines of a brutal war, creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion. In 1918, the world seems on the verge of apocalypse. ![]()

However, many of us colourers found that the spine caused a problem because some of the middle of each image was lost into it and the double-sided printing meant that those of us who wanted to use pens of any kind had to sacrifice a number of images on the reverse or resort to colouring with mediums we weren’t so keen on. Enchanted Forest, illustrated by Johanna Basford is one of the worldwide bestselling colouring books and with good reason – the images are stunning, beautifully detailed, tantalisingly intricate and beautifully put together.

It felt rather pointless? ![]() Lila runs off to save Kell and immediately kills Ojka. So the story begins right where A Gathering of Shadows leaves off. ✔A villain who feels neither scary, nor provides a real reason for his being a villain. ✔A plot that takes almost 400 pages to really get going. ✔Unnecessary emphasis on characters who haven't mattered at all in the first and second books. ✔Perspectives tossed in here and there that ultimately amount to nothing. I feel as though this final installment was very disjointed. ![]() I honestly don't know how to review this book without spoilers and so from this point on there will be unmarked spoilers for the entire series. Schwab had so much potential going into this series, but ultimately I find myself very let down. The reason I am giving this book a 2 stars is because I expected so much more from both this book & this series overall and I am not very satisfied with the development or the ending. ![]() |
