I was avidly reading this last night so that I could finish it before the last The Mortal Instruments (TMI) book was released. Not skimming, mind you, since this book was way too good for that. It was also a little bit of a struggle, because at the same time as I wanted to finish it before I went to sleep, I also desperately didn't want it to end. And now I have this massive book hangover that just won't go away. And I can't really concentrate on TMI until I've told you fellow readers how much I freaking loved this book. I was completely consumed the whole time, and was constantly thinking about it when I had to do other stuff than read.I loved King Hall a lot as well, but in this one everything was amplified. The characters, the plot, the deliciously yummy and very much awaited sex scenes, the prodigies' friendship which continued to grow - though we saw more of Ezra than Pearl and Jack in this one, but I honestly didn't mind that at all. And then there was the heartbreaking ending. The last 20% were mostly spent with a constant lump in my throat and tears threatening to fall. I can't decide if I want to slap the author for that ending or kneel at her feet. My heart was breaking!I love the world she has created and I love the fact that it is NA. Simply put, I love this book. King Cave is the best book I've read in a while. I have a feeling it will stick with me for a long time to come, and so it gets a golden spot on my "ultimate favorites" shelf.This also ends on a cliffhanger. Which is so cruel when the third book is months away... I'll live off of the teasers in the meantime. Maybe re-read them, even.
