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....

"I must say I really loved and enjoyed reading this book. I loved that we got to see a whole lot more of Janco and Valek. I also loved how Opal evolved as a character. I must say that I didn't totally agree with a certain choice made in the end but with further contemplation I have found that the ending grew on me. Although this might be an odd question I cant help but wonder if this is the last installment in the glass series? The possibility for Opal to join Valek on further adventures was left open and I wonder if this will be the last of Opal's adventures or if there will be more to come. Overall as I said I love all the books in the Glass and Study series and this book was just as awesome as the others! :-)" — Crystal (4 out of 5 stars)

" This whole series Opal has been the 'used' character and it was nice to see her regain control of her life and emotions. She still gets in illogical situations (the book is about magic after all) but at this point you just really want this girl to get a bit of a break. In the end her love interest is a bit controversial, but that just reminded me that fictional characters do not react the way I would expect them to. "
" a well put together conclusion to opal's journey, this third book finally reveals opal's true heart and desires for her life, both romantically and in the deeper sense. i think it is well woven and was entertaining. "
" Not many writers have the ability to captivate you from the writer paragraph or sentence in a novel, but Maria V. Snyder can. I went from reading the Study series one after the other, to reading Touch of Power and all the Glass books. I couldn't go through an entire day without having at least a few hours of being in the worlds that Snyder has created. These books will stay with me forever! "
" I didn't like it as much as I liked her other books, but the end was really nice, a very nice end for a lovely series, can't wait for her new series, I hope it's even better :) "
" I love Maria Snyder's books but I didn't get into this one as much. Opal seemed to end up with the wrong guy. "
" Amazing. A lot of crazy stuff went down in this book, but what a great end to Opal's story. I sincerely hope that this is not the last we will see from Sitia. These books are incredible, and I don't know what I would do without more installments. "
" impressed but not so much with the ending. kinda confused with some things, but still a good book overall :) "
" Great end to the series. I was glad about who Opal ended up with as well. "
" A good ending to the series. I'm going to miss the main character. It didn't end quite the way I had hoped but it was a good and unexpected ending. "
" I loved this book and was sad that it was the last book in the series. What a great read. "
" 3rd book featuring Opal. Not as compelling as the first. Took forever to read for some reason. Surprisingly pleased with the ending and left wanting to more about the characters from the Study and Glass series. "
" What a way to end a story. Gripping, thrilling, and quite a twist. This book made me sad to finish. More please! "
" LOVED IT! Maria Snyder is one of my favorite authors... I have now read everything she's written and I can't wait for me. "
" out of all 3 of the glass series i'd have to say this last one was my favorite! it was the story you couldn't peel your eyes from! it had new characters and a new 'goal'! it was a very well done book!! :D "
" I really liked this series! It ended in a way that was not so squeaky clean that it was unbelievable, yet in a good place. I would read more about these characters in a heartbeat. "
" I was never a huge fan of this series in contrast to the 'study' series. I found the main character too angst-y for my taste. But I loved the other characters enough to keep going. Very unfulfilling ending. She picked the wrong guy. "
" The ending caught me off guard! "
" I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Lots more intricate plot twists, action & character growth in the final installment of the Glass trilogy. "
" It has been a while since I read the previous books. This was an enjoyable read. "
" Ok story. It was a lot like her other books. I liked how it ended. "
" The final of the Glass trilogy. As with the previous books, too short for me, and I was disappointed that there wasn't more to read. Excellent characters, with only a couple of unexplained plot features. "
" reat series, glad she added to the story! "
" Disappointed in the romance and the main character (she showed no growth during the whole series) but this was still a good read. Enjoyed the book and how it fit in the series. "
" The series overall wasn't as exciting as the "study series" but it wasn't terrible. It's an easy read and a story that I found difficult to put down. It's not one that I would necessarily recommend to others though even though I had fun reading it when I did. "
