The Silver Mask (Magisterium #4)

** spoiler alert ** Wow. Just. Wow. Despite the poor writing Holly and Cassie have done lately on the series, TSM really surprised me. Jesus, Callum Hunt's character evolution is HUGE. His time in prison really did him some good. Anyway, this is a great book and a great plot.

O quarto livro da saga, “A Máscara de Prata” segue os eventos e conta a aventura de Call na prisão dos magos lidando com a morte do melhor amigo e a revelação de Anastácia no final de “A Chave de Bronze”, assim como as consequências geradas pela traição de membros responsáveis pela sua fuga que o levaram novamente ao Mestre Joseph

Assim como nos demais livros da saga, Holly Black e Cassandra Clare proporciona nos leitores através de sua história de aventura e fantasia uma montanha-russa de emoções.

Além disso, explora a relação entre Call e Tamara em um romance adolescente, mas fazem isso de modo a permanecer somente em segundo plano e ser diretamente afetada pelos plots principais, portanto não esperem um grande romance entre os dois, mas bem pequenas migalhas de uma possibilidade.

4.5⭐️ Penso sia il più bello,fino ad adesso.Mi è piaciuto un sacco,anche se avrei preferito più scene con Call e Tamara,ma è comprensibile.La penultima pagina mi ha fatto sclerare e sinceramente non so cosa pensare

It was good, I did like it , but it wasn’t amazing.

Ok. I think I can finally articulate my thoughts into something. When the book started, I told myself "Ah, yes. A 4 star book. Meh." But then that romance/fiasco/wth thingamajig happened and I immediately decided to drop it at 3, just so I wouldn't have to give a 2. Seriously, reading those few awful pages physically hurt. But ya know, I kept on reading because I sure as heck ain't back to wasting money on books that I DNF, and let me tell you, it was worth it. Like sure, at first it went back to a 4stars, but boy did that ending make my heart skip a few beats So you know...5 stars. Yeah. Bye

3.75 Stars Oh my word! This book went to a few places I didn't actually expect! If you've been enjoying the series up to this point, you should like this one as well. I think this was my lowest rated of these so far. And really, that's because in comparison to the fast-past traveling, moving all around of the past, this book takes place almost exclusively in one location. I think that makes it feel more stagnant than usual. The characters are just as wonderful as always but there's just this hint of something that felt off for me this time. Maybe it's because our main cast is growing up (view spoiler)[or dead in Aaron's case (hide spoiler)] but it just didn't feel right. (view spoiler)[Also I think a lot of what Aaron brought to the group is whole-heartedly missing. He was probably my favorite character so the view of him here is just... so disappointing. Except for the very end! Am I right? (hide spoiler)] I feel like there was less magic and fun in this one. Which actually makes sense, they're getting into darker times and more serious danger. As this book is compared A LOT to Harry Potter, I'd say this is the Half-Blood Prince of this series. Like, everything that happens is important, but it just doesn't have the fun of the previous books. That all being said, I enjoyed this book very much. I am so excited for the concluding novel and I can't wait to see where everything ends, especially after that ending!

I really enjoyed my time with this, the characters are all starting to get a little older and feel different things. as also so more events after the fall out from the last book. and we see everything being set up for the next book...... surprise there is a cliffhanger at the end of this book. I'm defiantly excited for the next book. The main plot of this book was actually intriguing.... just like the thought process of it. ( you know what i mean if you've read it). overall a short, easy read that keeps you pretty captivated.

I have to admit I was expecting more from this book. The first two in the series I thought were really strong then the third was a little iffy but this one felt really disjointed. Call spends far too much time worrying about whether or not a girl likes him - seriously? There are far more pressing concerns to think about. I know this book takes place over a much shorter time period but it just left me feeling a little let down. I am hoping this will be rectified in the next book.
