Characters:The characters were very well-developed in this volume of Evernight. I found myself relating to some of the situations that the characters were going through. And the strong bond between Lucas and Bianca was just amazing.

Writing:The writing for this book was superb. I never had to reread a sentence I felt was worded awkwardly—which is extremely good. Gray also uses a wide range of vocabulary that even teens could easily grasp.
