Editorial Review

P…

P.C. Cast has successfully reignited the magic of the House of Night series with “Loved”. The book begins with Zoey celebrating her 18th birthmas alongside her companions. Each character is well-defined, showcasing their growth and struggles over the past year. As they try to navigate old friendships, they quickly find that their bonds may not be as strong as before. The injection of new characters adds fresh excitement to the tale. However, the writing occasionally feels rushed and lacks the polish of earlier entries. Important character arcs are overshadowed by current political references, which may jar some readers. Yet, the overall adventure, friendships, and emotional stakes keep the reader invested in the narrative. Overall, the return of beloved characters combined with a reflective yet charged plot ensures that fans will find joy in this series continuation.
