I loved almost everything about it! Especially the whole Sydrian thing, that it was finally happening! I'm so happy that Sydney admitted her feelings and stopped denying them.
I liked how this book focused more on Sydney and Adrian and less on Jill/Eddie/Angeline or the school but you still knew what was going on there. But poor Sydney. Sometimes her problems and duties were so overwhelming that I felt exhausted.
Marcus kinda surprised me. I didn't expect such a charming and funny character even though his 'mission' is serious and dangerous. I hope we'll see him again but I'm pretty sure of that :)
What bothered me that some parts were so predictable, just like in the first book. For example Angeline cheating on Eddie with Trey. Or that evil witch using Sydney's necklace for some kind of spell. But it had also a lot of surprises (Zoe being the new Alchemist in town? A new dhampir? Woooo!) so I'm satisfied :)
There were also a few mistakes that could have been avoided (since when was Tatiana Christian's great aunt?) but on the whole it was a satisfying book that I couldn't put away :)
