Holy shit this book was such a drag.

The way Clara treated Tucker was giving me some serious Rose and Adrian flashbacks in Spirit Bound and Last Sacrifice. Normally, this would be the place where I'd cut my losses and move on to something different, but...well, I looked up some spoilers for the next book.

Spoiler

I looked up whether Clara and Tucker were endgame and, because it seems like they are (or that, at the very least, she and Christian don't end up together), I'm going to go ahead and finish the trilogy.

Another thing that really bothered me was the way any semblance of tension or stakes was immediately undercut. It wasn't enough to find out

Spoiler

her mother was the one who would die

but we also had to know

Spoiler

how she would die, when she would die, etc.

. It was dumb and I hated it.

I would maybe go into more detail about the reasons I disliked this book so much but I really don't feel like I should afford any more of my time to the dumpster fire that this was, so I'm just going to move on to the last book and then try to forget Hallowed even happened.
