4.4 stars. Just as gd as the first book and incredible writing style and storylines! I cant wait to see more of this world!.The only slightly negative, or offputting, thing in the books so far is that the wizard is downright unlikable at times. We are used to wise, gentle, respectful, kind wizards from other fantasy worlds like Dumbledore, Gandalf, Zedd and so on, but at times Bayaz is just mean, short tempered, rude and very ungrateful to his companions and specially his guides help and positive mood. I expect more from a great and very old and supposedly wise wizard, but this is just personal opinion perhaps, based on my own previous books worlds. And perhaps its for a reason Ive yet to know about, he does have a lot on his shoulders after all! But he is not my fave character, based solely on my wish for him to not be a grumpy old arse all the time and to be kinder to his poor guide who just want a bit of aknowledgement and gratitude for his expertise and knowledge, which he deserves.

Pls just end this, it gets worse and worse! The story is great as such but its terribly written, way too fast, no characters to like, cant stand the pushover main character who just never grows up and its the same book after book. Cant stand Stark either, never could from the first moment we met him, he never grows up either, is a petty jaloux bf that does the things Zoey kept saing she didnt want to accept in her life again yet she keeps sticking to him just yuk. Oh and aparently Shaylin is now gay, that came out of nowhere, as in half a page boom ok moving on very short and no indication at all so far. Theres a change in direction and oppinions every so often, without us knowing about it, ive seen several times where they say left and now suddenly say right and out of nowhere they are now 'on the right track'. And the ending of this book is /facepalm. Why she would be so dramatic and go to jail, when we clearly see they were alive when she left then, but oh no she wouldnt question that at all, ill just go with u. If ur gonna write about characters, u write about characters! You skip too fast, thers no bkbone so likeability, its just sped through and very forced at times like the writer are struggling to write the books. And what a joke with all these 'new york times bestseller hits' on so many books, half the time its just payed promo, and it certainly is in the case of these books, it has no quality after the first few books, getting worse and worse, with the same stuff happening with slight variations, or otherwise totally predictable. I hope for 1 last book and then THE END, stop this madness now pls, you clearly dont know how to write a story where we get to feel we know the lead character, and like her.

3.5
The best of the first 7 books so far.
And if it wasnt for the missing details and inbetweens and mediocre heroic moments and drama, it would get a 4. What u imagine happens in ur head in these books, u can make look much more awesome than what the authors make it out to be in words and on paper.
The problem with this series' would-be epic moments,where they would be awsome in something like LoTR or any other top fantasy book like Rothfuss or Goodkind or Rowling, and with a great cinematic background and music behind it, instead its like me opening my arms wide down at the supermarket trying to call the elements to me. In ur head it looks great, but its less so with the way they write it, too lacking in details and personality.
I enjoyed this book however, and I cant wait to see what happens in the next book!

2.5*
This book is a Twilight fanfic, written by a Twilight fan who imagined some things differently along the way while reading it and created the book in a different universe.

Evie is Bella, Reed is Edward, Russel is Jacob, Buns is Alice, Brownie is Angela, Jim is Charlie and Freddie is the vilain. Where Twilight has vampires and wolves, Premonition has angels, fallen angels, archangels, reapers and the likes, in a set hierachy. Evie is the prodical halfbreed where the bad fallen angels wants her soul and our heroes wants to protect and love her. There is a ton a small things that are in some way a direct copy or reference to Edward and Bellas story and characters. And there are many things who is not, and has an original touch to it.

All this being said, if I hadnt alr read Twilight, I might rank this book higher. It IS a decent story and I will read the rest of the books. It is very lacking in details tho, and things like after she finds out shes in fact an angel of god, there is no such thing as even a prayer or mention of her now feeling stronger in her faith, or anything like that. Its just oh hey ok cool whatever, as long as I have Reed I dont care.

If ur a Twilight fan loking for something similar, I wont recomend this story. Its too lacking in many ways, and too close of a copy to the real thing.

If u havent read Twilight alr, go for it!


Review for the Audible version:
A poor narration by Emily Zeller. We have no clue when there are pauses and some chapters, and I personally cant stand some of her voice choices. Read it, or find a different narrater if posible.
