Great book. This is the second in the Harbinger trilogy.This trilogy is very different from the usual fantasy books. At first I thought, okay, that's kind of weird. But it grew on me. ( )

This series is *not* good. And I’ll absolutely read the last one because this Mortal-Instruments-inspired rollercoaster is unavoidable. ( )

This trilogy reminds me a lot of the campiness of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. I have had the same amount of fun with this trilogy.

As with all trilogies, book two finishes off the beginning of the story from book one and leads to the end in book three. I'm including both reviews with this one because I went straight from listening to Rage and Ruin to Grace and Glory. Read book one before reading more. These novels are not reviewed for middle school.

Trinity finds herself bonded to Zayne, which brings on rules. Trinity and Zayne aren't exactly rule followers. What can really happen? They are needed for this horrible event about to transpire, so they feel love isn't something that should be denied. Trinity fears the repercussions more than Zayne. Her hesitations don't help in their relationship. Meanwhile, they need to discover who the Harbinger is. Once they do, it's game on. The Harbinger surprises everyone. The ultimate question is, "Will God allow the Harbinger's plan to take place?" Are Zayne and Trinity as well as their friends, the Wardens and the demons, able to work together and save the earth. if you read the previous trilogy (which I did not), you'll probably enjoy putting the pieces together and knowing more than those of us who didn't read it. The school is definitely a place of evil that they'll have to overcome.

In the final book, the story begins with Trinity having to save one whom she loves. You meet the Crone again. The demons and wardens are all involved as the final battle must take place. There's nothing one can say about a third book without ruining everything, so expect surprises at the end. You'll see a few of them coming and a few will be different than you expected.

This trilogy gives you some fun, some snarkiness, and some drama (much like Buffy) as these people save the world. I listened to all three and found the narrator exceptional. ( )

There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirous.
This whole book can be described with that one sentence, so why try for more? ( )

I love this series so much! If you are a fan of The Mortal Instruments, you will really enjoy this series. Also in this book there are lots of Buffy the Vampire Slayer references (there's even a Hellmouth in this book) which I loved. ( )
