Synopsis
Winnie is back and her future is looking bright. Things are finally on track after things went haywire a little ways back, and she couldn’t be happier and she’s looking forward to the Nightmare Masquerade, a week long celebration of all things Luminary. But things don’t go as planned and Winnie soon finds herself tangled up in threats to not only herself but everything and everyone she loves.
Somehow her father is involved, and as Winnie digs deeper into the longstanding war between the Luminaries and Dianas, she learns some things about her family she never imagined.
Thoughts:
I love this book, I love this series, it is one of my favorites and I will sing its praises. This book dropped us right back in the work of the Luminaries with Winnie and her friends. Winnie has grown so much as a character over the course of this trilogy, and I have really enjoyed it a lot, and the growth continued in this book. It’s always fantastic to see character growth, and for me it’s even more enjoyable when it is a YA character because they have so much promise and potential. Winnie certainly came into herself completely in this book. I loved how captivating and engaging this book was. I started it late one evening and reluctantly put it down only to sleep and work and picked it right back up the next day. I wish I would have been able to read it in one sitting, but I also didn’t want it to end because this is it, this is the final book. This book delivered everything that I was looking for in the course of this trilogy and wrapped things up nicely. The overarching plot lines between the books were finalized and all wrapped up nicely.
This is a trilogy you don’t want to miss. In this case I recommend reading them all in order because there is a lot of carry-over between each book and a lot of character growth you will want to witness. However, it’s three books and you really should do yourself a favor and read them all.
