It was, all in all, a pretty good read. I enjoyed the developing romance between the two main characters. And I wouldn't mind reading the rest of the series to see what happens...(**SPOILER**)However, the battle scene...it was just brutal to read. First, not as well written. It didnt suck me in ...
2.75 stars. While I really liked the plot, I felt that the beginning of the story really dragged. Not much happened, in my opinion. I've come to love the Ilyan character in this book. I thought he was creepy in book one. I wonder if this change in character was purposeful, or the author wasn't su...
It took me longer than usual to finish this book. I think maybe I just wasn't interested in reading a book that I had already read, but with a different narrator (or two). It's not that I don't appreciate reading about Wyn's back story or Ilyan's love for Joclyn, but I was looking forward to read...
I was really into this series but this book kinda killed it for me. Ilyan and Joclyn are just too mushy together, every other paragraph he was stroking her face or calming her with his magic. I understand that she is suffering from PTSD, but this book is really strong on the romance. I also wishe...
At least, that’s how I felt. And, with the way Ryland slumped against the wall next to me, he was a damp rag, too. Damp and hollow and empty, like the long hospital corridor we sat in. Like our souls. I might be mistaken, but I thought mine might ha...
I stared as my pulse slowed until I could pull my eyes away from the thing that tainted my room to look into the eyes I had dreamed about every night for as long as I could remember.I couldn’t move, I couldn’t make my tongue work. I just looked at him, knowing that tears were sliding down my chee...
The store that had once looked like an old, untouched, relic; now looked just like everything else in the dark world. Destroyed. Travis had carefully placed several metal filing cabinets in a triangle, moving everything around it away in the hopes of giving enough of a barrier that the flames cou...
I walked behind her at a safe distance, enjoying her struggle, enjoying seeing her reduced to such a pathetic mass. I smiled wickedly, throwing my hair to the side as Wynifred stumbled over her own feet, her body lunging into the white stone building we were walking next to.The crack of skull aga...
The way he held me, so soft and gentle, calmed the knot in my chest. Almost. I continued to feel it, the fear of what he wanted to talk about still strong. It was numbed by the calm that being next to him gave me, though.He hadn’t spoken a word since we left Wyn’s room. I wanted to know what I ha...
