I know this installment is more about Ophelia and her ridiculously seemingly-impossible and insurmountable journey to freedom and world peace but I'd like to take a moment to congratulate Giselle on being the single-most hilarious Vampire EVER. I will not explain more beyond that because the explanation entails spoilers but I will simply leave it with, "BOW BEFORE YOUR QUEEN DOUCHE CANOE!"Now with Ophelia and my review on her story in this book:The beginning has definite hints of my all-time favorite witch movie, The Craft, but after the Roses find her, her story is all her own and it is so... intricately woven within everyone else's lives within the whole series it's insane and intense. There are no other words. Insane and Intense basically sum it up. Ophelia's personality seems to be the wimpiest out of everyone thus far but she definitely redeems herself by the end and continues redeeming herself in the next book, Death.The characters and story lines are still airtight and wonderfully detailed, and everything screams authentic even if it is all about angels, demons, and the Garden of Eden. I did, however, have to google search images of people with different colored eyes because I couldn't picture it on my own and I have to say, it's difficult for me to imagine still. Otherwise, another wonderful book within the wonderful world of the Devil's Roses.And as a side note, as much as I adore Ari's gift and wish I could have something similar, she needs to just sit on her hands sometimes. The emotional and mental roller coaster the uses of her gift cause in the story boggles my brain. I'm glad some characters were brought back and one was saved (Trying not to give specific, spoiling details away here), but it made me so sad to see the other characters go. Like actual frustration and chest pains over it. Ugh.
