They feel so fully fleshed, even when they’re a support. It struck me through and through, and boy, I cried and cried and cried until my head hurt as much as my heart did.Ĭharacters drive the plot, and do so while beautifully filling out their arcs. Even knowing, spoilers for book 1 in the series, that Kalen was going to die because of Tea, I was still shocked and devastated when it happened. Using alternating chapters of the past and the present is tricky because you know how the past turns out since we’re also in the present, yet Chupeco is so skilled at what she does that never once did I feel as though anything was predictable. There’s so much I want to say, but there’s so much I don’t want to spoil, which is saying a lot considering the way the Bone Witch trilogy has been told.

Each character’s arc unfolds beautifully, loose ends are tied, and we finally understand what led to Tea’s downfall and exile. As the finale of The Bone Witch trilogy, Shadowglass finally has Tea’s past join the present and it broke my heart in the best and worst ways.

Yet, The Shadowglass by Rin Chupeco still devastated me on numerous occasions. When you know how something is going to end, you’d think you’d be prepared for it.
