WHY WAS THIS BOOK SO LONG?!!?
I truly picked the worst week of all time to read Court, that's for sure. I was honestly really excited about it. It's the latest installment in the series and after not totally loving Covet, I hoped for something that would make me fall in love with this story again. I adored the first two books and wanted to get back to those vibes.
Well, this was not it. If I thought Covet was long and cyclical, this was triple that. 941 pages and for what? Grace to panic and then act like she had it all together and then panic and then fight with Hudson and then have it together and then make out with Hudson and then fight with Hudson in a loop?!?! I was so irritated.
There was one point in the story where they actually made fun of the name of the trials because they'd already gone through a few other "impossible," "unkillable", etc. events and this one had a similar name. Needless to say, it felt as though the characters were just as fed up with the repeated story as I was.
I found the first two books fun and cheesy because they made fun of themselves. This one took itself too seriously and repeated the same formula as the last book, but longer. I want more gargoyle court goodness.
Anyways, I guess I'm kinda looking forward to Cherish? I don't even know anymore. I think I am though because it's taking a turn by going outside of Katmere Academy and all the characters are graduated and living different lives, so I'm interested in seeing how that changes the story a bit. I hope it's for the better.

This book series brings me a lot of joy, I missed the fun 2014 style ya vibes and adore how these books are a more inclusive version of the books I read when I fell in love with reading!!
Also who doesn't love kick ass magical creatures?
You do have to enjoy a certain Level of cringe, but gosh I absolutely do adore the cringe!!

Book four of The Crave Series picks up right where book three left us. Grace, Hudson, and the rest of the gang are still shocked by their school being empty of all the students and adults. They know it must be Cyrus, and they are correct.
In the fourth book of the series, Grace discovers more about her past, learns more about the gargoyle court, and have to work together to stop Cyrus from changing the world as we know it. We meet new characters, and are reconnected with beloved characters of the past books.
Each book in The Crave series gets better and better! As I said before if you love monsters, Alaska, dramatic fight scene, and soul mate connections, then this book series is for you! Book 5 and 6 coming soon! I can't wait!

i LOVED this book. i think, besides crush, this was my favorite of the other books in the series. You really see the major conflict pick up and massive character growth for Grace. I live for the Hudson content. A slow start for me but once you get into it, it was hard to put down!

This answered so many questions and honestly felt like it could’ve been the end of this series until the epilogue. I thought it was really cool that the epilogue held several scenes from Hudson’s POV, and that they essentially waited to have sex until Grace was over 18 (or at least that’s what I thought but maybe it was just very ambiguous fade to black). I am so sad that Calder, Xavier, Luca, Raphael, Liam, and Byron are dead. Such blows that I genuinely wasn’t sure I was gonna recover from. It’s been a hot minute since I read a book where not only characters died and didn’t come back but also that more than one character I cared about died. But Flint and Jaxon finally seem to be mates if not it’s very strained right now. I like that there were scenes talking about Flint prosthetic’s and Eden flirting with a girl, and the Non binary character Dawood. I really enjoyed them. Did not like Chastain at all.

absolutely amazing. Tracy Wolff you absolutely killed it once again. i’m obsessed with the fact that there’s a non binary character and i love them to the ends of the earth. Charm and Cherish can’t come out fast enough. YOU MOTHERFUCKER WHY DID YOU KILL CALDER SHE WAS AN ICON AND I LOVED HER!!! the skeleton army was a twist i didn’t expect. why did grace make so many deals just to not use any of them? and why not use her demi-god powers earlier in the battle against cyrus? she had so many tools at her disposal and didn’t use most of them. i don’t get why the order had to die and why liam betrayed them? i wish that whole plot line was fleshed out a bit more.
