Sarah Rees Brennan is the Best Thing to Happen to.Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases for the.(And, oh, how I want to dive back into the Casteel, Cutler or Landry series.) At the end of the day, this story is something that readers will have to decide to read for themselves-but it certainly won't be for everybody. Part of me understands, of course, why it's a series that many don't want to let go of, but the other part of me is content in leaving it where it is. While The Shadows of Foxworth proved to be a novel that I not only finished, but vigorously so, it still wasn't necessarily my favourite. For the other side of the fandom, this proves to be more frustrating and unreadable than anything else. For longtime, devoted, fans, who merely want more content, this can be easily brushed aside.
I wasn't sure what to expect from it-both in terms of the original series and the prior two novels in the lineup-but it wasn't necessarily this.

It truly is problematic and trashy and highlights a lot of disturbing tropes. Look, there's no real easy way to put this: this isn't the type of book you read and expect to be moved or inspired. I've long since tried to understand my attentiveness towards these books, but I would imagine this is how soap opera lovers feel: I cannot look away. Andrews and the ghost-written expansions. It is reminiscent to both the original V.C. While the prequel novels haven't always been my cup of tea, there's this undeniably addictive quality to them. Oh, how I wish I could shake the world that is V.C. Publisher in exchange for my honest review. As always, a copy of this book was provided by the author or
