review 1: Reckoning:After bitching so much about having to listen to Alissa's story in a two way point of view we now have A WHOLE BOOK IN HER VIEW.At first I thought, seriously… SERIOUSLY? I was so bored this entire book. I found myself CRAVING her to call Hunter or Morgan or just freaking ANYBODY related to the main plot.The worst thing about this one was that sometimes the author dabs into supporting character's because they have a point to the main story. But guess what? In Night's Child when Morgan is all grown up - Alissa is basically never mentioned. So please tell me, what was the point of this story? No seriously, it was pointless. Like a filler to get to the main thing except it was a WHOLE book of it. If I had known beforehand then I wouldn't have read it. This is the b... moreook in this volume that made me give one of the best book series' I have grown to love as a favourite, to a mere 3.5 rating…If you're looking for a story synopsis in this review, let me clear it up for you. Alissa is angry because she has a new mum who is actually quite nice and reasonable (Alissa compares her to a wicked witch stepmother! Like WTF - she constantly tries to talk sensitively with you and Alissa calls her a monster! What is wrong with this girl???)Alissa then runs away to her birthmother's brother, who is gay, and proceeds to break into her grandmother's home and steal things with an accomplice. Her accomplice is her cousin's boyfriend who she basically gets in their and home wrecks everything and breaks up their relationship. After only like 3 days (yes this all happened in 3 days apparently) she goes home. And makes Hunter drives for like a 14 hour return trip to pick her up. Well done Alissa.Full Circle:This book also felt like a giant filler. Nothing really interesting happened and when it was time to reveal the big bad, I practically rolled my eyes. Selene is back and she's taken over a hawk.Sadly at the moment Morgan and Selene started fighting as birds, my sister came in and asked what I was reading. Honestly I had no creative answer, "Well there are two hawks fighting with each other and it goes on for pages and pages" - she only stared at me as if I was insane. I felt myself silently agree.Despite the boring Selene comeback, Hunter had the lamest side story one could pump out. Honestly Patrice deserved a lot more than what she got in the end. I mean she tried to KILL somebody and everybody is like "yes but she had a reason!"For christ's sake is somebody tried to kill someone in real life then they would be tried for attempted murder and then jailed! Not get their powers "slightly" diced around and then everybody feels bad for them. Waste of time, waste of a book… waste of a build up to some sort of ending. Very flat and boring.Night's Child:OH MY GOD. Where to begin with this…. ARGH! Firstly we've had doses of the new "character narratives" over the past few volumes… but this narration brings a WHOLE NEW BALLPARK. Instead of the constant confusing first personal narrative that changes every book and chapter, this book COMPLETELY changes into a third person narrative. WHY? JUST WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? YOU CAN'T GO CHANGING FROM FIRST TO THIRD, FROM ONE CHARACTER IN FIRST NARRATIVE FOR 10 BOOKS THEN CHANGE TO ANOTHER!!! NO, JUST NO! STOP IT! PLEASE BE CONSISTENT! GIVE ME ONE REASON WHY THIS WAS NEEDED??What I want to know is why on EARTH Morgan left Iona at that ancient site to go find Hunter like straight away? I know they were anxious to find Hunter quickly, but even Sky would have found a better plan than just to LEAVE the evil creature that started everything with all her powers intact and ready to follow them and enact out her plan!! So why would you just let her go? I mean they just left her thinking… oh yeah the New Charter will pick her up. LIKE THERE ARE SO MANY OBVIOUS OPTIONS! LIKE, TAKE HER WITH YOU. If Morgan is so freaking strong then what difference does it make if they take her with them to keep an eye on her and turn her into the New Charter later? This would mean they could easily FIND the island and take all those poor shipwrecked people that got pummelled later on on the island when all that rock fell… Just… some logic… PLEASE!Not only did they just LEAVE Iona but they also just LEFT Lilith? Like even if she looks like a horrible wreck on the ground, YOU DON'T JUST LEAVE VILLAINS LYING ON THE FLOOR TO GATHER THEIR STRENGTH! If they had properly dealt with Lilith properly then the dark wave wouldn't have come right? My god!!! DUHH!But the thing that bothered me most was the whole Moira being Hunter's daughter thing. Once again, Tiernan thinks we are dumb as rocks and couldn't spot that coming from a mile away. Like I could sense this the moment it moved into Moira's chapter. OF FREAKING COURSE. And conveniently Colm had to "die" right before they found out about Hunter… I mean come on. Can there be like any conflict there? I guess not.. everyone has to die miraculously so that Morgan can have a happy life without hurting anyone… Give me a break!There was only ONE thing that surprised me in this book. And this was that Iona had managed to grasp Hunter's "true name". The obvious thing to do when someone has your true name and they are EVIL is to take them out of the picture, most likely in this scenario would be to strip her powers, but if worse comes to worse… kill her. Because no matter what… they can control you! If Morgan had killed Iona at the ancient castle place rather than later on in the island (and why the hell was she shocked when she saw she'd kill her… like DUH what did you think that spell would do when you said it?) it would have solved a lot of problems.My last rant on this plot is why Moira was the one to tell everybody that Morgan should do a "tath meanma" with Hunter. They had like no other options, literally. Wouldn't this be the first thing Morgan thinks of? Hasn't she have supposed to be like all sage and crap now? Guess not. A 16 year old girl whose ready to shit her pants comes up with the master plan. Intelligence plus, Morgan.WOW so much ranting… Gah… Well I'm glad this series is over now… sadly it was like a very sad dieting star and it didn't go out with a bang. More like a slow choking… I can't even describe how disappointing
review 2: The last book in this volume stressed me out. Hunter dying? Then not being dead? I didn't know how to feel, what to think. I did however, figure that Justine would somehow come back to haunt Hunter; I just never imagined it would be so intense!Cate Tiernan does an excellent job at interweaving her story-line and making all the ends meet. Sure, there's always a little more to books that aren't written down, but in my opinion, she did well at making sure there were no loose ends without making it seem overdone. less
