Lord Of The White Hell Book One (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
If there's one thing I really love about this author, and the book of course, it's the way the characters interact with each other. Wicked Gentlemen was a first insight into her writing and this book is the second and in both of them, I loved the way characters talked. The world is interesting and, unlike my previous read, "Wicked Gentlemen", well described. I liked the fact that the author took some time to let us know about their religion and way of life because that way, the reader understands the characters and their actions a bit more. Like the brothel scene for example. I read that some people found it a cheap way to start up a fight between the main characters, but I didn't see it that way. Javier's behavior, him being used to living a certain way and under certain rules, was on spot in that moment. Kiram as well. He was used to people being free to chase their desires, be it a man or a woman and the fact that he couldn't explore his relationship with Javier the way he would have liked, came crashing down on him. Because the way I see it, up till then, he was still being a kid about it and maybe thought that a secret romance was thrilling. When his feelings for Javier grew, he realized it wasn't that easy. Both characters acted the way they should have.Picking up the next part, and honestly, I can't wait to read it. I loved this so much, the characters were rich and complex, the concept of the white hell was fascinating, and the world well-fleshed and vibrant. So beautifully done and so full of emotional twists and turns. I'd have given it five stars if it weren't for what I felt was a lack in the editing more than anything. There was a lot of stuff we just didn't need to know, that didn't inform or advance the plot any, and that dragged at the pace and was a frustrating buffer between Interesting Things Happening. I'm a writer myself, so I don't fault the writer for this, more the editor for not pointing it out and eliminating it. That's their job, not ours. ;) That said, I'm probably pickier about that than most. And don't let it make you pass this one up.
