Wow. This book is just...wow. It starts off with the ever evil Grandmother, which I won't say much about, then skips to Karigan visiting her father and four aunts (absolutely adorable aunts, might i add). If you have kept up with the previous books, you can imagine all the things that go down with this not so merry family reunion: Chaos.
After that, Karigan gets shoved into Blackveil with a few other people, including some Eletians, and all hell breaks loose. Again, I'll refrain from spilling out all the juicy details.
This book had A LOT of different plots, and being a some-what writer myself, I give Kristen Britain as much respect as I can muster. First, you have Amberhill, who completely strolls away from protocol with that weirdo ring. Then, you have Estora, >=(, and the King, =), and their whole marriage fiasco. Not to mention poor Alton over there beating his brains out at the crumbling wall. There is so much more too but saying so would ruin my attempt at not spoiling this amazing book for people.
Now, if you have read other reviews, you will realize that the ending of Blackveil wasn't satisfactory. Yes, it was a cliffhanger. Yes, KB takes a while to get her books out. Yes, usually the ending to these books are happy and not so unbelievably heart-wrenching. BUT I still think this book completely topped the others in every way. To me, best book in the series, maybe the best book I've ever read. Also, I have a funny feeling that KB wouldn't leave her characters hanging like that for 4-5 years. I hear she is now a full time writer!
So I end my review with this: read this book, love it, don't complain about the ending, and then love it some more. It will be a long time until another series comes out with an author as genius as KB.
