Stitch reviewed Spy Glass by Maria V. Snyder
Review of 'Spy Glass' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I was so looking forward to this book, after very much enjoying the adventures of Yelena and Opal in the first 5.
There were two main things that bothered me. Devlen. I echo most of the previous comments in the reviews section - shacking up with him after all the torture... just doesn't make sense. Kade, who most readers had grown to love was cast aside like an old pair of boots.
And secondly... Zitora. I loved seeing her character in the previous books and when she revealed about her sister leaving her at the Citadel, it sounded like she had a great back story to share. I was waiting for her to turn up at the final battle, like her and her sister would come riding in and help out and it would turn out that her sister was also equally powerful or was of relevance to Opal's character. …

Nothing, no Zitora. I really hope that there's a web series or another book or two for Zitora. I think her and Iry's friendship could be a great focal point for her backstory. At several points in the series, they have a great dynamic with Irys almost as the older sister.
I enjoyed the characters of Nic and Eve, even if the vast amount of characters at the end was a little crazy. I think they could bridge over to Zitora's story if it ever happens.
