This is the best book yet in the series. I personally feel like this series keeps getting better. Things are coming together and coming in line with the finale to come. Which if I'm not mistaken is the next (?) book. There were some things that were left hanging before that have been answered. There were more events in this book then should have been possible in the short number of pages of the book. This book felt FULL. Full of chaos, full of conflict, and full of emotions. Real emotions that leave you feeling heartbroken for Death, Evie, and Jack. This book is more than a happily ever after reading like some of the other series by Kresley Cole. The three in this triangle are truly cursed it seems. If anything is going well it's bound to turn. That continues in this segment of the series.
There were so many unpredictable events and maybe one or two things that you come to expect. I don't want to spoil anything from this book because it is very important to the whole series. The alliances of Major Arcana are hit hard by a major TRAITOR. It was one event I did not see coming and wouldn't have imagined it. With the few who confirm that these games are going to be different. That there will be a cataclysmic ending. Most of the Major Arcana are changing, either losing control of their powers or just developing stronger. The Minor Arcana want an end to the games so they can begin the new world. They inform the others that Evie and Death have angered the gods by creating life. Evie is stuck between having no power at all and feeling helpless to stop herself from eventually becoming the red witch.
working together to end the games and protect themselves against the Emperor and Lady Luck, you forget that there are other factors out there. Like the Minor Arcana that we heard about. Evie and others finally meet some and it all but
Plus there are hints in the whole book about the next book. I can't quit this series. Evie can't remember something she thinks is important. I think whatever this part is leading to will be huge in the next book. Plus, we still don't even know if the Fool is on her side or not. Or if his card has reversed. It seems like it may have. Just like some of her allies were hiding their true strength or losing control of their massive powers, you just don't know at this point.
If I am right and the next book is the last book in the series I am going to lose it. I hope that it lives up to my personal hype.
*I feel like the content in this book would be for a mature teen who is ok with some mention of sexual content.
