Raoni Azeredo raoniaz — A very well-written and readable book on a understudied area of history. In researching my senior paper, I've come across the same themes over and over again in works dealing with the heroic outlaw, and this one was no exception, save for one thing: All of the other sources save for a few cited this one. Enjoyable read with very funny anecdotes thrown in that made me laugh out loud. Extremely well researched and a great starting point for anyone interested in outlaw history.

Aykhan Safarli aykhansafarli — I would still recommend the earlier books to anyone who enjoys YA, but this book was bad. There were moments of Smith's old style that tempt me to rate it a bit higher, but I can't do it - not even for the sake of the enjoyment that many of her other books have brought me over the years. Stefan and Elena spend a million pages being lovey (and boring) at each other. Matt, Caroline, and even Damon seem to lose the character development they'd experienced after Elena's first transformation. All three are back to being obsessed with Elena, and one randomly becomes nastier than they ever were before. Even the other characters often act wildly inconsistent with their previous selves. The timeless style of the first four books is lost as Smith awkwardly forces technology into the story to update the setting. The books are blatantly more adult, but in a way that comes across as cheap and trashy rather than mature. A new threat reveals itself after apparently having been in Fell's Church for some time. These villains don't fit the style of the earlier books in any way and seem heavily influenced by more recent urban fantasy and entertainment trends. The same is true of the style of magic that's used in this sequel. Elena regresses to a childlike state for some incomprehensible reason, and then she gains powers (that she intuitively knows how to use) at a disgusting rate. Seriously, any time the characters get into too much trouble, Elena just sprouts some new and exciting power to take care of it. Having one character that's badass enough to just fix everything completely ruins the sense of teamwork that was previously established. Between the arbitrary powers and the fox spirits and the wings and the dreamlike traps and the inappropriate trashiness, this book feels like a novelization of a bad anime show. I can't remember when I've been so disappointed.

Monique Pintado _onique_asmine — An interesting, captivating book, with lots of developments concerning characters I already care about (as compared to the previous book's more scattered topics). I still miss the more tightly-plotted style of the first three books. It feels frustrating to go through 1100 pages so that more pieces can be set in place. I hope these two books are a divergence from his main style, and come the next one we'll have more payoff and less pacing problems.
