About the shadowglass:
IMHO: the shadowglass
I loved The Bone Witch from the very beginning. Read my review of book one, The Bone Witch, and book two, The Heart Forger.
If you haven't started the series, binge it now. If you're on the fence, I hope this spurs you to action.
I need more people talking about this series. It deserves far more hype! I honestly love it more than Shadow & Bone. More than Daughter of Smoke & Bone.
This ends the series spoiler free section. Pass this point only those who've read the first two books should read through!
Now that all the losers are gone (lol jk), OMFG ya'll this is it! We find it allllllll out. Tea rides to battle against her enemies and oppressors. Tea spills blood and the tea. (sorry I had to).
We find out the truth behind their creation story. We find out how Kance died and Tea raised his silver glass from the dead. What split Fox and Tea. What is the end game. Everything about the Bard.
Shadowglass...
...brilliantly weaves dual past & present as always, but this time it culminates in a breathless twinning of the cataclysmic fight and the final battle.
...Juggles a large cast with conflicting goals and knowledge, while keeping everyone, especially us readers, guessing.
...does justice to the epic love story between Tea and Fox, and Tea and Kalen.
...brings closure with King Kance.
...travels everywhere!! I love Yadoshans in Thanh and the Gorvekai for totally opposite reasons but they both treat Likh well.
...unfortunately ends, but it is beautiful and fitting ending.
Fav. NonSpoiler Quotes from Shadowglass:

A life worth dying for is a life worth living.
"Tradition isn't always honorable. If it was, then you'd have been an asha for years, without opposition."

"And if anyone here so much as touches a hair on his adorable head, I shall pull out their beating hearts and force them to consume every last vein," I added cheerfully.
