![]() Read my full spoiler ridden review on Goodreads, under the same name. And, despite my evident love for this series and for Sophie, I'm ready for it to be over. We've gotten through enough story that the seventh book could really be the last one. We have the official capital V villain's name, and we met them. Really good, once we got through the arduous first 90 pages. I was seeing one of my favorite series fall apart and I would so hate for that to happen. I had been excited for and dreading the release of NIGHTFALL for 12 months, because I was scared. I'm so happy right now! This is one of my favorite series again. We had a lot of fun interactions and a good amount of character development, I think, especially for the Songs and for Sophie and for Keefe. I know from personal experience how hard it is to juggle such a large cast, and honestly Messenger does a phenomenal job with it. (I hate comparing this series to Harry Potter, but much like that.) The world building is good too, and while I’ll occasionally think, “they wouldn’t have said that if this was YA,” if the character’s ages were never mentioned and there was a bit more kissing, I would not question a YA stamp-especially as the series progresses. This series is written so well and there’s so much intricacy in the plot. I keep finding myself mentioning that these books are MG, and I hate that so many will overlook this series simply because of it. ![]() I rarely get so worked up when I’m reading, especially when it's (however much I love them) Middle Grade. But none of that is going to stop me from loving this series and these characters. And a lot of that was probably me wanting to love it so much I plucked out all the minute details to analyze later.
