Beschreibung

The epic finale to The Bone Witch series! As Tea's dark magic eats away at her, she must save the one she loves most, even while her life―and the kingdoms―are on the brink of destruction. Perfect for readers of Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House and Holly Black's The Cruel Prince!
In the Eight Kingdoms, none have greater strength or influence than the asha, who hold elemental magic. But only a bone witch has the power to raise the dead. Tea has used this dark magic to breathe life into those she has loved and lost…and those who would join her army against the deceitful royals. But Tea's quest to conjure a shadowglass, to achieve immortality for the one person she loves most in the world, threatens to consume her.
Tea's heartsglass only grows darker with each new betrayal. Her work with the monstrous azi, her thirst for retribution, her desire to unmask the Faceless―they all feed the darkrot that is gradually consuming her heartsglass. She is haunted by blackouts and strange visions, and when she wakes with blood on her hands, Tea must answer to a power greater than the elder asha or even her conscience. Tea's life―and the fate of the kingdoms―hangs in the balance.

So this took me a pretty while, but foremost because I had other specialised literature to read first and over the xmas holidays I finally found some time to finish it. Nevertheless, this is a really good book and an interesting completion of the series. I must admit, I kind of lost a bit track of all the jumps between the chapters and time, but the action was still fast paced and the ending.. Read it for yourself, recommended! :)

4.5 stars. The last part of this book had me sobbing uncontrollably. I finished this 5 days ago and I'm still thinking about it. I just can't believe that I have to say goodbye to this world and these wonderful characters. This series has everything one can wish for, intricate world building, beautiful romances, found as well as "real family", especially with a complex brother - sister relationship, and overall a magnificent cast of characters. The Shadow Glass is the bittersweet but amazing finale of the The Bone Witch trilogy. And it was SO GOOD. I didn't like Fox in this very much, his behavior didn't really make sense to me most of the time. But the rest of the characters were as perfect as before. Tea is now officially my favorite character of all time, she is amazing. But honestly, all of them (with one exception) have a forever place in my heart. Although I guessed "the big reveal at the end" early on, the plot continued to be exciting. I loved to continue exploring the world, seeing more of the magic, laughed and cried with my faves, and enjoyed every second of this read.

2.5 stars Unfortunately the conclusion to the series was lacklustre. I didn't find it nearly as enjoyable as the first book with our introduction to the interesting magic system or the second one where I was fully invested into the relationship of both Tea and Fox. The main problem I have with the series are the many scenes where some great discovery or mystery is explained to us in great detail through some monologues of the villain or protagonists - it has a very "telling instead of showing" kind of feeling which is a shame. The whole "conflict" itself I couldn't get behind at all, I still don't understand Tea's sudden motivation to do the things she did and the villains are cartoonish and not fleshed out at all. I also never really got a good grasp of the world. New characters pop up and are killed off or serve to explain things to us in long history lessons that get old very quick. I still feel like picking up Rin Chupeco's other novels though. She does excel at the whole writing horror aspect so it would be a nice read for Halloween.
