Crossed Soul Eater Book 3 edition by Eliza Crewe Children eBooks

A completely spoiler free review for all three books in the series. I have a couple of questions for Eliza Crewe…

• The first one…was your proofreader so into this story, that they ended up missing a ton of typos because there were so many? They kept taking me out of the story…so annoying. Ugh. I don't remember the first two books being this badly in need of proofreading. Anyway, other than getting a tad preachy, this is my only complaint about this book.

• The second question…how come you've never written anything else besides this series???

This series despite those typos is exceptional. It's not only darkly imaginative, it also has one of the best heroines ever. Meda's so unapologetically snarky, and she does so without making my eye's roll…which I've found, lately, can be difficult to do. The rest of the characters round out this ensemble quite nicely. And the interesting dynamics going on this edition of The Soul Eaters Series made this to be a splendid finale.

******* 4.5 Girl Power Stars *********

You’ve read how many YA series where girl has a best friend but then meets a boy and everything becomes about him? The heroine becomes stupid over him and waves bye-bye to the best friend who is now delegated to the back seat…Meda is not that girl. Meda is the girl who might have the boy but will still go into hell for her BFF, literally. Don’t get me wrong Meda can still do romance…well sort of but it will never be roses and candy. Her idea of romance is not killing you, what more do you want she is half demon.

***“Hey, I can do romance,” I protest, forcing levity into my voice. “I didn’t feed you to the dragon when I had the chance. That’s romantic.”
“You’re right, I’m sorry. You have the soul of a poet.”***

Crossed is my favorite book of this series for a few reasons. It actually has the best plotting and pacing out of all the books of the series. Not a lot of time is spent with the actual crusaders and I like it best when it is just the small group running around and getting into trouble and there is plenty of that. Every character gets their chance to shine and become a little more than they were before. Even Chi who was the ultimate paper cut out of the good guy shows he is deeper than we initially realized.

***That Chi’s freeing of the soul was a deliberate attempt to protect it from Jo’s cruelty and not just his happy-go-lucky naivety is again the wind fluttering the curious curtain over Chi’s depths. He has seen something in Jo and now we all see something in him.
Jo blinks, as if someone unexpectedly turned on a light, then shakes her head. “You can’t do the right thing here, Chi. It’s not . . . it doesn’t belong.”
His voice gentles, the previous bite all but forgotten. “You can do the right thing everywhere, Jo. That’s why it’s the right thing.”***

But you want to know who steals the freaking show is Jo. You thought I’d say Meda right? I thought I was going to love Meda the most too but surprise, surprise Jo stepped up to bat and hit one out of the ball park. I LOVE HER in this. Because what happens when Jo isn’t tethered by everything the Crusaders taught her? What happens when she finds out what it is like on the other side and how good it can feel to play for the other team? What happens when she knows-it-all??? I’ll tell you what happens… Meda becomes the voice of reason and we are all in trouble when she is our conscience. Need I remind you that she is part monster and hunts killers for fun and food.

***I love screams. All screams. Bloodcurdling, terrified screams. Squealing, pained screams. Harsh, moaning screams ripped from raw throats that thought they could scream no more. The trailing scream that crumbles into a death rattle. I love the way they ring in my ears, the way they vibrate in the points of my teeth. The way the Hunger roars in harmony. If I were a musician, my instrument would be the highest pitches of the human voice box. I’d line up my victims and pluck their vocal cords like a street musician stroking the lip of a dozen water glasses.***

It is a scary day when she is the one that has the lead on the moral compass. Still I loved the Bad Jo and Trying To Be Good Meda so much together. They have wonderful banter and the dark humor in the book is so wonderful I laughed a lot throughout.

Then there is The French Guy…aka Armand. I thought I was going to have to wait forever for him to come into the story again but I was so happily surprised when that wasn’t the case. When he appeared pretty early in and he might love Meda in his demon-hearted way but he also has an agenda of his own.

***“Because I need the Crusaders to do something for me.”
“You need them.”
“Where else am I going to find an army of heroic self-sacrificing idiots?”
Can’t disagree with that one. “And you think they’re going to help you?”
His eyes open and he smiles faintly. “Not on purpose. Obviously.”***

Demon love is so cute…probably cuter than crusader love. And while yes there are two definite couples in this it is far from having an overabundance of lovey dovey moments. We don’t have time for that since we are marching into hell to try and save the world.

I enjoyed every twist in this tale and dynamic of the team. I especially enjoyed the trek into hell, I’m a sucker for how different authors envision hell and project it for the reader. Crewe did a really good job with showing how she thought this world’s version of hell would look and behave.

Not everything is perfect in the story since this has been a tale of Heaven vs Hell I thought there might be a little bit more closure to it. I really enjoyed the revelations (get it revelations in the bible) that came out at the end about the war and how the tides had turned so much over the years but I wanted just a little bit more. It seems that we leave our group with a lot of work still left to do. I’m not saying that is a bad thing I’m just one of those readers that likes a really wrapped up epilogue in a 3rd book of the series.

This entire series is one of my favorite in YA since it doesn’t fall into a lot of the trope pitfalls of the others in the genre and it is different.

p.s. – Unwind by Neal Shusterman still holds the #1 spot in my YA series favorites…but this is solidly in my top 5 YA series currently.
This is the third and final book in the Soul Eater series. This book was an excellent ending to this fast paced and fun urban fantasy series! I enjoyed this whole series immensely and this was the perfect ending to it.

Meda has chosen to help the Crusaders but this is turning into a battle that the Crusaders just can’t win. That’s when the Crusaders ask the ultimate sacrifice of Meda; she may have to go to Hell itself to help turn the tables in favor of the Crusaders.

I love the witty writing style and snappy dialogue between the characters. Meda is a fantastic character and I love her strange combination of ruthlessness and loyalty. She delights in being vicious but still cares about her friends...she’s just such a delightfully “grey” character. The side characters continue to be very well done and I enjoyed them too.

Just like the previous books in this series, the story is so fast-paced it will leave your head spinning. This book was impossible to put down and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I just love Crewe’s writing style...it’s so addictive!

Overall this is a fantastic ending to this fast-paced urban fantasy series. I would recommend to those who enjoy fast paced urban fantasy with themes of good vs evil.
