Review: Such a great series
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 15, 2013
Yet again another 5 star rating, and honestly if I could give a higher overall rating for all 4 books together it would be higher. She brought to a nice close, but yet left it open and leads into book 5-8. I didn't feel jilted or confused like some cliff hangers leave a reader.After Zillah attacked trying to take Sophia and the twins she and all her family, friends, and guardians go to a secret place to hide out and prepare for war. Sophia struggled through the beginning of this book, and my opinion is that she blamed herself for all the problems. Personally she was much too hard on herself. But I could feel her emotions: The anger, fear, and complete withdrawal from those she loved. It was definitely easy to relate to her in this book the most compared to the others. You meet a different side of Sophia, and though I wouldn't say she was weak by any means, she is more lost but still kicks ass in the end.Enoch, though doesn't play a huge role yet again (grr... Magen really needs to write his story, *hint-hint*) but he is as wise as ever. He is there in the beginning encouraging Sophia to pull out of her slump and make amends with Sage. Everyone is the house has noticed the rift between them. And it's sad, because they are an amazing couple but after Sophia basically died, Sage was understandably angry with her for basically not thinking what her death would do to him and the twins.The book is mostly spent with everyone involved training to go to war, bringing in more vampires and witches. It's a process to show how much Sophia has grown, and the "first family" begins to put their foot down so to speak.The book was yet again pretty fast paced, which is good for these kinds of books, but keep me going yet again. Magen has yet to fail to impress me. Her writing is an inspiration, and I can wait to get through this series and move on to her other work. I bet I'll love them all. I highly recommend this book, and Magen actually have books 1-4 in one book. The book can be found here:AMAZON:Princess Resurrection Shadowed Memories ebookB&N;: [...]
