The Shadow Glass by: Rin Chupeco: Tea is on a quest to acquire shadowglass to achieve immortality for Fox, her brother who she desperately wants back. But it’s easier said than done as her heartglass grows darker and darker. As time goes on she’s started to blackout and have strange visions, getting to the point where she has blood on her hands. Now, not only is her own life hanging in the balance but the fate of the kingdoms does too. The conclusion to the Bone Witch trilogy took its readers on one heck of a journey; they had no idea how everything was going to go down and that was half the fun. This was fast-paced and had the reader on the edge of their seat throughout as new developments kept cropping up. The plot had so many ups and downs, twists and turns, which left the story to be very entertaining. The way this was told, like the past two novels with Tea and The Bard, actually worked really well in this last instalment. The last two novels the reader found it more confusing than anything else, but this one really shaped the story and gave more context to the overall plot. It didn’t feel confusing or out of place. It felt like Chupeco finally found her groove with this method. The world building was expansive, it was so visual and the magic system was so imaginative that it left the reader intrigued and wanting to read more. Even through all the death and destruction that the characters found themselves going through, there was something really comforting in Chupeco’s writing that had the reader loving every moment, good or bad. The writing was really tender and careful and that came with loving the characters as much as we did. They were so well developed and watching them struggle was hard, but watching them also love each other and support each other was reassuring to read. Tea really shined in this last novel, and it was so good to see Kalen by her side. His love for her was truly special. Tea’s love for her brother, Fox, was just as strong as it has been, but Fox felt a little flat and slightly annoying for most of the novel. This ended very bittersweet, but the reader was still happy with how everything concluded. All the plots were wrapped up and nothing was left open ended, which felt very satisfying. Overall, this was such a well written and enchanting trilogy.
