Description

Fantasy. Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML:The magical, stunning conclusion to the internationally acclaimed Half Bad trilogy�now available in more than 50 countries. The Alliance is losing. Their most critical weapon, seventeen-year-old witch Nathan Brynn, has killed fifty-two people, and yet he's no closer to ending the tyrannical, abusive rule of the Council of White Witches in England. Nor is Nathan any closer to his personal goal: getting revenge on Annalise, the girl he once loved, before she committed an unthinkable crime. There is an amulet, protected by the extremely powerful witch Ledger, which could be the tool Nathan needs to save himself and the Alliance. But the amulet is not so easily acquired. And lately Nathan has started to suffer from visions: a vision of a golden moment when he dies, and of an endless line of Hunters, impossible to overcome. Gabriel, his closest companion, encourages Nathan to run away with him, to start a peaceful life together. But even Gabriel's love may not be enough to save Nathan from this war, or from the person he has become. Set in modern-day Europe, the final book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. It's a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love. From the Hardcover edition..… (more)

Engrossing books that I found hard to stop reading even though everyone left me feeling scared and sad.

A fitting finale for this trilogy. Sad, but honestly I don't see how it could have ended any other way. Watching Nathan evolve through these three books was impressive. You have a main character who's so flawed and is in constant battle with his own actions, trying to come to terms with who he is

and hating himself, yet knowing he has to do bad things. I loved that he wasn't perfect, that he made so many mistakes, and was such a unique character.

Very good and kind of deep. About as good as the others with similar pacing to the second novel. Enjoyed it

More running around and killing people and not listening to each other. Nathan now has All The Superpowers. And is still painfully stupid. And I stuck with him through the entire story, found the resolution to both the love storylines to be not what I was looking for (fridge the love interest so

the hero can Grieve, and also 'well, she wasn't actually an evil spy, but you're too upset and out of it to even engage with this now') and then he gave up on the whole mess of life and the horrors of war, and just turned into a tree. I can see why, but a bit of me really felt it was a cop out!

I really need to stop reading book series out of order, because I think I would have gotten a lot more our of this one if I had. That said, this book is fast paced and very compelling. I found the story interesting, and was pleasantly surprised by some parts and disappointed in others.
