While I didn't like Archer very much in the first book, I changed my mind about him in book 2, partly thanks to a similar character from Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series.<br /><br />I enjoyed this book but I thought things happened kind of quickly in the end without too much difficulty (like you said). Things wrapped up too neatly and I was missing that suspense too particularly with the way that Demonglass ended. I was expecting a much more serious or suspenseful tone at the beginning of this book because of that. I agree with what you said about Sophie's abilities. I know that with these kinds of books, the outcome is inevitable but we should at least see the heroine struggle more to overcome the obstacles. Excellent review!Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-5964351760884450182012-05-28T21:28:13.302-07:002012-05-28T21:28:13.302-07:00I'm just skimming to avoid the spoilers, but s...I'm just skimming to avoid the spoilers, but so glad you liked Spell Bound! I have Hex Hall at home, and can't wait to start in earnest (I picked it up and read the first chapter a few months ago).<br /><br />So excited to have 'discovered; your blog--it's so pretty! ♥Sarah (saz101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936602748682093150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-71540656539737716642012-05-28T13:24:40.525-07:002012-05-28T13:24:40.525-07:00Haha I love that you're anti-Archer! x) I had ...Haha I love that you're anti-Archer! x) I had nothing against him, but I just ADORED Cal and was shipping him from the beginning, so his resolution broke my heart! But I had a blast reading the scenes where Sophie was possessed and could use witch magic too! Elodie kind of grew on me in this book, which made me happy because I've heard that Rachel Hawkins is writing a spin-off series with her and a certain other ghost from the end! Not certain yet, but doesn't that sound cool? :D <br /><br />Amazing review, B! <3 :) I have no idea what's up with the cat either, but I heard someone else say that it was because Sophie said she was allergic to cats in Hex Hall...?

I suppose I need to pick them all up so they can continue on and I can start it! Glad it held up over three books and you enjoyed it all!<br /><br />- Jessica @ <a href="http://booksake.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Book Sake</a>Book Sakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000472552375000686noreply@blogger.com
