Week 50 Review: The Unfailing Light

From Goodreads:
Having had no choice but to use her power has a necromancer to save Russia from dark forces, Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, now wants to forget that she ever used her special powers. She's about to set off to pursue her lifelong dream of attending medical school when she discovers that Russia's arch nemesis--who she thought she'd destroyed--is still alive. So on imperial orders, Katerina remains at her old finishing school. She'll be safe there, because the empress has cast a potent spell to protect it against the vampires and revenants who are bent on toppling the tsar and using Katerina for their own gains. But to Katerina's horror, the spell unleashes a vengeful ghost within the school, a ghost more dangerous than any creature trying to get in.

My Review:
Oh, I absolutely loved being in this world again! And their romance! And the mystery of who the girl is, and then that her powers are not quite in control! Oh, and that George is in Paris, and may or may not have been betrayed. Yeah.

Things happen in this book, like Katerina is kept in Russia, in safety, even though she wanted to go and learn to be a doctor, but since she's the only one who can some the bogatar, and that the bad guys could use her, so she had to be protected in Russia. Which sucks for her!

I was confused in how the order that was magical fit into the one that was talked about in the first one, and for a while I thought that it was a separate thing, but they weren't, so now I'm confused. But yeah, it's something that I'm getting used to feeling in reading this series!

Oh, Danilo. You came so close to being redeemed, and then you broke it all to pieces by actually  being part of the group that Katerina wanted you to stop! And that the ritual was to cut out a heart? Not cool, people, you're supposed to be the good guys! At least it ended out ok!

Really enjoyed this book, and yeah, can't wait to read more!!
