A Necklace of Water by Cate Tiernan


Title: A Necklace of Water

Author: Cate Tiernan

Quick Synopsis: (taken from Goodreads)
The Balefire coven has tried and failed to replicate the original rite that bestowed immortality upon them centuries ago. Some were hoping to finally die, others to discover new reaches of power. Twins Clio and Thais weren't sure what to expect, but now they are forced to confront a hidden enemy who still wants them dead. In addition, they're coping with the love they both feel for the same person, who has finally made his choice.

General Thoughts: And so ends the Balefire series. I have to say, this book is by far my favourite out of the four. However, there were some small, niggling little holes at the end that I was annoyed at.

My Favourite Part: The action. Things in this book felt much more fast-paced than in the previous ones, possibly because all of the events take place within the span of, like, a week. It's also the culmination of the entire series. I also loved the few unexpected twists in the plot. (But, like Legend, I guessed most of what was going to happen.)

My Least Favourite Part: I can't tell you, because it would ruin the whole plot of the book. Suffice it to say that there was one very important thing that happens, and its reason for happening is not explained at all, when it really should have been. If that makes any sense.

Scale of 1 to 10: 7.5
