      The premise: ganked from BN.com: After siphoning her own blood magic in the showdown at Hubal, Opal Cowan has lost her powers. She can no longer create glass magic. More, she's immune to the effects of magic. Opal is now an outsider looking in, spying through the glass on those with the powers she once had, powers that make a difference in the world.Until spying through the glass becomes her new power. Suddenly, the beautiful pieces she makes flash in the presence of magic. And then she discovers that someone has stolen some of her blood—and that finding it might let her regain her powers. Or learn if they're lost forever...My RatingWorth the Cash: Fans of Snyder will be pleased with this final installment of the Glass trilogy, and what looks to be the final installment of the overall series, which started with the Study trilogy. Snyder definitely gives Opal, our heroine, the means to discover who she is as a person and to be happy with who she is, what she can do, and who she loves. There are a lot of enjoyable moments in the book, though at times it feels like it wanders, and there are also moments that will surprise you. But Snyder's been working towards certain conclusions from the start of the trilogy, particularly the second book in the trilogy, so the outcome shouldn't be that surprising, even though they may leave some readers feeling a little icky afterwards. Still, I'm happy with the conclusion, though I'll say I think I prefer the Study trilogy to the Glass trilogy, I do like the development of this world and how it's built with each and every book. Should Snyder even return to Sitia or Ixia, I'll be happy to tag along. Review style: For starters, I'm going to talk about how the summary above (which is also the backcover blurb) is COMPLETELY misleading, and also I want to talk a lot about the romance in this one and what works and what doesn't. Then I'll ramble about how this is the last of a series and whether or not Snyder's got the material to keep going in this world, even if she has a new heroine. Spoilers, yes, so please don't click to the full review at my LJ below if you don't want to be spoiled! Everyone else, feel free. As always, comments and discussion are always welcome. :)REVIEW: Maria V. Snyder's SPY GLASSHappy Reading!
    • 3/5
      This was a pretty good conclusion to this series, but I had serious problems with how the romantic relationship turned out. It made my skin crawl. Opal did grow as a character, and really realized who she was, and I appreciated that, but her choice in life partner made me feel icky inside. Overall, the plot was well done, and didn't feel rushed, and I enjoyed seeing Yelena and Valek again. I liked Valek's part in this story. The writing was typical of Snyder, and it was readable, and I really enjoyed it.I prefer the Study series, but this was a good set of events that helped fill in some gaps for me in the wider series.
    • 4/5
      I read this a long time ago, but really enjoyed the story and the characters.
    • 4/5
      Very nice conclusion to Opal's story, the books are rather pulpy in their way the story evolves, but in the end its just a very nice fantasy story with a satisfying end :)

      Pick this up definately, but dont expect ground breaking plots :)

      First off, if any of you were not aware, Maria V. Snyder is one of my favourite authors ever. The Study series is literally one of the best series' I have ever read, i love them a lot. This week seems to be the week for me reading the final books in trilogies, as this is the final book in the Glass trilogy.
      Now, I'll admit, I didn't like the Glass trilogy as much as the Study series (I connected better with Yelena than Opal... and I much preferred Valek over Kade) however, the writing won me over. I just adore this world. I'm so pleased that she used one of my favourite strategies in writing, which would be: write a series about one character and during that introduce another character that you'll use as your main character in the second series. That way you can still use your old main characters and they're not gone forever. Tamora Pierce would do this as well and I've always adored it because that way the reader got to see some of their old familiar favourites (aaand... i got a lot more Valek... *cough* wait, I mean what?)
      In the beginning of this book, i wanted to strangle Opal for the amount of moping she was doing over losing her glass magic. Granted, when Valek came into the picture on the third page, i was less worried about Opal (he's one of my favourite characters ever. don't judge) but still, it felt like for the first half of the book she never accomplished anything.
      I loved the return of the characters. Janco and Nic and Eve (YES AND VALEK....) Basically, let me be honest, I liked Ixia way more than Sitia (SHUT UP.) which is actually kind of funny because i'm a person that likes magic users more. Ixia just always intrigued me a bit more than Sitia did in previous books. I warmed up to Sitia by the end of this book, as i felt like we got to see a whole lot of it as Opal does her running about.
      In the end, this was my favourite of the three Glass books. The plot was ridiculous. It took so many turns and so many people weren't actually who they said they were and by the end i think i flew threw the last two hundred pages in an hour. Good Lord, the last two hundred pages are fantastic. The climax was absolutely brilliant and blood magic is effectively one of the most terrifying forms of magic i have encountered in a book yet. It is legitimately a terrifying concept all together.
      The romance progression was slightly weird to me, i felt like it didn't always make sense with the characters. However the ending result was perfect, so i can't say that I mind too much.
      Another thing I loved was that even for all her moping and self pity, I really liked Opal because she was actually a really strong character. She was proof that you can have a female protagonist who has feelings and still is a strong character. I mean, let's face it, she moped a lot. But in the end she did something about it and she did something about the problems that her moping inevitably caused. I actually really liked Opal by the end of all of this, I was always a little unsure about how I felt about her at first, but in the end I really liked her.
      And I have to note, Maria V. Snyder is proof that first person writing can be good and that the characters can still have personality through the writing style. Because a lot of first person books these days the characters seem lost within that first person style, but these books are the way to do it effectively.
      4/5 stars. can i just say that the fact that Valek had such a prominent role in this book made me really really happy? yes? ok :)

      This is the third and final book in the Glass trilogy featuring Opal Cowan the glass magician. At the end of the second book, Sea Glass, Opal lost her powers, and in Spy Glass she is on a quest to find her blood hoping she can regain some magic.I was pleased to see that some of my favourite characters from the previous books were also in this one. I was especially pleased to see Ari and Janco again because I really love them.I mentioned in my review of Sea Glass that there was a confusing appearance of the Bloodrose clan that I hoped would be cleared up in the third book. They did reappear in this book and the mystery surrounding them seems to have been resolved.One last point to make is that if you've been following the series you'll know that Opal has been torn between Kade and Devlen. By the end of this book she has finally made the choice. I don't want to give anything away, but I think after reading the book I can understand her choice.I really enjoyed this book, and I think it was a good end to the series. But there were some new characters introduced in this book that I really hope Maria is going to write some more books about!
    • 2/5
      Spy Glass, the conclusion to the Glass trilogy, really rubbed me up the wrong way. It's interesting, in the way that all the strands of the story come together, but I didn't believe in the conclusion. I don't believe in reformed criminals, or in settling down and having babies with someone who raped you, abducted you, etc. I didn't believe in Kade giving up on Opal so easily, and I didn't believe in what felt like a very rushed ending.

      It left a rather bad taste in my mouth, really. Like the other books, it's a quick read and relatively absorbing, and I liked the larger role Valek had in this book, but I felt somewhat... betrayed, I guess, by the ending. I don't have all that much to say about it, given that.
    • 5/5
      I finally got around to finishing this series, and I am glad I did. While the series sometimes seemed to drag on and on, and I often found Opal's character frustrating, she finally figures out her own purpose in life in the final book, as well as ties up all of the loose ends of her life.Forgiveness seems to be a central theme in this series, but most especially in the final book with Opal's interactions with Devlen's character. While I am still conflicted over their relationship, I tend to take the position that if the main character is happy with it, I'm happy with it, too. Devlen's changes seem to pose the question: Do people really change? We like to believe they do in theory , but when it comes to those who perform the really evil crimes, few people are willing to accept that it's truly possible. Opal actually did finally believe this about Devlen, which makes her a rare individual.Opal's character can be quite confusing at times - she can be very emotional and reactive, but at the same time she has endured unimaginable circumstances and has made herself into a battle-hardened warrior. How many females today can do what she can - even without the magic included? She has certainly earned the right to make her own decisions - and handle whatever consequences come along.I loved the two children she picks up along the way, and how they help her to understand her own magical abilities. They bring out the maternal instincts in her, which I always appreciate in literature of this nature. The cult that these two were members of fits the stereotype very well, at times both disgusting me and making me want to jump in and rescue those poor people myself.The coolest part of the book was when Valek taught Opal how to be a proper spy - it reminded me of the Study series by Maria V. Snyder that I loved so much. Valek is such an enigmatic character that he deserves his own trilogy!
    • 3/5
      Apr12:Characters: At least they brought Vanek back. And the lead got some backbone. The villain was almost okay after the lack thereof in the prior books. The children were a nice pair.Plot: Almost passable. Especially compared to the prior two books.Style: Got back into high adventure and self confidence. Not quite worth the work however.
    • 4/5
      Once again, Snyder delivers non-stop action. There is never much rest in her books, and it sneaks up on you how fast time passes. I didn't like Opal as much as Yelena when I started this series, but she toughened up a lot. You see a lot of Yelena's boys in this one, but they don't take away from Opal like I thought they would. Once she started working for no one but herself and trusting people, it really gets good. The wrap-up at the end was a kind "quick and easy," but I still enjoyed the books - and am now kind of sad they're over. I have the short stories for this series too, so those are next.
    • 4/5
      The third book in the Glass series, SPY GLASS does a nice job tying up Opal’s story and prepping the way for another series set in the same world (I’ve heard it’s going to focus back on Yelena, the main character in the Poison series). As this book opens, Opal is magic-less and not dealing so well with the loss. It probably doesn’t help that she’s at her parents’ house, helping her mother prepare for her sister’s wedding—agony to someone like Opal, used to having power, traveling and doing amazing things.When Valek arrives on her doorstep and starts asking her about how much blood her captors took from her, she realizes she needs to find out what happened to the rest of it and for what purpose it’s being used. She also discovers some quirks to her magic-less state that make her more like Valek, and she needs to learn how to use it. Finally, she has some direction in her life again.The love triangle that develops between Opal, Kade and Devlen kind of surprised me. In the previous story, I grew to like Opal and Kade as a couple. Then, in this one when Opal began to fall for Devlen, a man who kidnapped and tortured her, I was taken aback. To me, Opal had some self-esteem issues but she seemed to be getting it together. However, with the loss of her magic, her fear of what people were doing with her blood, the draw of blood magic, and Kade not being around, Opal starts to falls for the reformed (so he says) criminal who once abused her.Opal’s journey to acceptance was well-written, detailed and action-packed. The return of many old friends like Yelena, Valek, Janco, Eve, and others was great—I always like it when novels bring in characters from previous novels and other series. It makes it seem as if you’re actually a part of the world, seeing old friends. All in all, a great end to one girl’s story. I look forward to reading more stories set in this world of Maria V. Snyder’s.
    • 4/5
      This is the third of the Opal Cowan Glass Magic series. I read it without having read the first two books in the series, and that turned out to be a bad idea. The story is very much dependent on what goes before.Given that, it was still a fascinating read. Opal's world is unique. Magic exists, with different people having different magical talents. Opal's talent was blowing glass with magical properties, especially the ability to communicate instantaneously across distances. But when attacked and tortured, Opal was forced to drain her magic and now has none. The upside to this is that she is immune to the magic of others. For now she must figure out what she is going to do with the rest of her life. She also finds out that some of her blood is missing. If she can find it, it might restore her magic. It is a danger to her, however, in the hands of anyone else, who might be able to use it to control her.Very intriguing book, but read the first two, Storm Glass and Sea Glass, first.
    • 4/5
      The Glass Trilogy is all about self identity; finding for yourself who you really are and being true to yourself.The last book in the series opens with Opal Cowan moping for her lost of magic but with a subtle hint from Valek, she went to find what is rightfully hers but what she found is 'herself'.An overall enjoyable read.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed the end to this last trillogy - I couldn't put it down. It did get a bit complicated and Ms. Snyder appeared to be trying to wrap things up a bit too quickly, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Surprised about who Opal ended up with but not that she survived in the end.
    • 5/5
      I'm always wary of final books in any kind of series, be it 3 or 13 books, because by that point I've already invested a lot of time in the characters and have usually come to love some or all of them. I worry that the author will throw a curve ball that I won't like and that it will taint my views of the previous books or that the ending won't be one that works or that they will try too hard and rush things in an artificial finale. That said, I'm not much of a worrier, honest!To her credit, Snyder falls into none of these traps and I loved the final book of this series. It's fast-paced and ties together the characters, countries and their pasts without seeming strained. What I found amazed me the most was how, when I finished the book with a tear in my eye (not always hard to produce...), much I loved the ending. If I'd been told the ending while reading the beginning of the series, heck, even the beginning of this book, I would have been disappointed, I think. But the story is so well drawn and the characters so well woven that I found that it was exactly the ending I wanted by the time it came around! Which relates nicely to one of the best things about this, and Snyder's other, book(s). The characters are just fantastic - they're intriguing and surprising and grow as you're reading. Opal in particular has become a lot more worthy of her role as lead female and has lost a lot of the petulance that seems to cling to her in Sea Glass. Even better, my favourite character from the Study series returned to this one so I was a happy girl!Also, on a more serious(ish) note, I respect Snyder for using the often frivolous fantasy genre to look at some challenging socio-political issues. Admittedly, I could be over-analysing but I have got the impression before that there is a lot more than meets the eye to some of the trilogies' mechanisms (for example, capitalism v communism). Without revealing too much (I hope), Opal finds herself in an extremely patriarchal (bordering on cultish) society and looking at the plight of the repressed masses when in the thrall of a man who is, to all intents and purposes, a dictator. It's disturbing and in some ways abhorrent and the scariest thing is, it has at some places and in some times been some people's reality. You could quite easily read these books without looking at them in this way but I think it adds something to the story that is unique, refreshing and intelligent. As I said though, it wouldn't be the first time I've over-thought something...Overall: I definitely recommend this series to fans of fantasy fiction - there is a light-hearted wit running through the book but the events are often harrowing, which is a welcome contrast. It has action, romance, magic, political intrigue and scandal - what's not to love?! Go grab a copy of Storm Glass and get going - you won't regret it!
    • 5/5
      I have thoroughly enjoyed each of Ms. Snyder's book in this series. Watching the main character struggle with her loss, search for meaning, redefine both herself and her dreams felt like a privilege. The ending left me very unsettled but has me very much looking forward to whatever comes next for this character.

      In part three of her "Glass" series, Maria V Snyder takes us along with Opal in search of her stolen blood. She feels that, with this blood, she may be able to regain her magic and the ability to "charge" her glass menagerie animals to take messages between Council members again.Open Cowan is not affected by magic. At all. Just like Varek, her friend's fiancee, heart-mate and leader of the most elusive spy circle in her world. She is living at home, with her parents, when an idea strikes. If she can get into Wirral prison maybe she can discuss the matter of her missing blood with the man who took it: Ulrick. She finds a beseiged teenager with Master Magician powers and also locates his little sister. She becomes Councilor Moon's temporary assistant and refalls in love with Devlen - a man who stole Ulrick's body and made love to her. She also has issues to solve with Kade, her Stormdancer love and her mother. Arriving five days before her sister's wedding makes her an orphan as far as Mrs. Cowan is concerned. Can she win her way back into her mother's heart? And who will Opal's own heart chose this time? That is, if she can escape from the Lion's Claw Peninsula and marriage to Walsh!As usual, Maria V Snyder's stories can be taken alone or as part of the whole. Having read all of this series and the "Study" series as well, I can testify she is only getting better.
    • 4/5
      Spy glass is a fairly good ending to a fairly good trilogy. I really like the settings Snyder creates, and I like her characters, but she does tend to ramble a bit plot-wise. There's generally a point about 2/3rds of the way through when I start asking myself "what's the point of this, anyway?" Spy Glass is no different. Snyder does pull it all together for a very satisfying ending though.
    • 4/5
      Spy Glass was the perfect ending to Maria V. Snyder’s Glass Trilogy. I love how the glass trilogy brought some of my favorite characters from the Study series with it. This book was my favorite of all the Glass books. Opal and her story were a fantastic addition to Maria Snyder’s Bibliography in my opinion.I rate this book a 4.5/5

      This book was a satisfying end to the trilogy for me. I found Opal to be less whiny than in the last book although she still does make some stupid mistakes. At first I was worried we wouldn't see some of my favorite characters but Eve, Nic, Ari and Janco make some appearances and we see more of Valek in this story. The pacing of the story was great and there was a nice mix of humor provided mainly by Opal's mother. At one point she is so upset with Opal that she pretends Opal is dead when Opal and Kade come to visit. There are plenty of twists and turn in this story that will keep you guessing and hooked to the very end. One of the biggest questions of who will Opal end up with, Kade or Devlin, is not resolved until almost the very end although you start to get hints through out the book.If you already read the book or want some spoilers about who she ends up with keep reading, otherwise stop here!:I have to admit I was a tad shocked that Opal ended up with Devlin although I was kind of hoping for that outcome. I know some people will say how could she pick the man who tortured her for days but I really felt like once the blood addiction was purged he was a totally different person. If I were Opal I would have had a hard time moving past it but Devlin is so sweet in this book that you can't help but root for him. He also seemed more well suited to Opal than Kade. Kade is tied to his storm dancing responsibilities and seemed too set in how his life is laid out. Devlin is much more flexible and seems up for anything. Seeing as how Opal flits from one situation to another I think she needed someone who could always be there for her and not tied down to other responsibilities. What do/did you think? If you reply in the comments please add "SPOILER" to the beginning of your comment.

      Maria did it again!!!! I was taken in from page 1! Opal is a beautiful main character and she is learning and growing even more in this final installment. We get to see a lot of Valek in this one too, which makes me happy. Kade and Devlin are both great love interests and she writes them so well, along with Opal's feelings that I can't chose a side!This book will not disappoint!
