OK I said the last book was a fantasy, but this one is even more so. So, if we accept that premise, I can enjoy it. I like reading the intertwining stories of each of these books, but this hero was wayyyy to perfect. Rich, beautiful, a daredevil, brilliant, and carrying a torch for a girl he knew for 2 weeks when she was 8 and he 12. But I just went with it, and enjoyed the story. Actually, my favorite part was finding out the identity of Lucy from the previous book. Now she has set up the story for the next book, which I hope is coming out this year. While I really enjoyed this book, as I do all of Deveraux’s work, I have no problems admitting it was flawed in some ways.When Kim reunites with a childhood friend who disappeared after two weeks of intense child’s play, she is just as infatuated with him as she was as a child. She wonders why he mysteriously showed up in Edilean after disappearing all those years ago. Travis’ mother has been hiding out from his father for years and now wants a divorce so she can remarry. Travis has been protecting his mother, by serving his father, who promised not to look for her as long as Travis worked for him. Now back in Edilean, Travis has rekindled a love that started long ago when he was a young boy and oblivious to how children have fun.Quick Thoughts About this Book: Nobody ever seemed to complete a thought. It was filled with misunderstandings and shotty communication between the characters. It moved quickly and despite the flaws I managed to really enjoy it. I’m confused about the BIG secret in this book (Travis’ Mother Lucy). It seems it really wasn’t at all necessary, AND everybody knew anyway! The internal family secrets and discoveries kept me intrigued and entertained. The ending is completely implausible and kind of ridiculous. I mean I’m all for believing in love, but for really though?
What do You think about Neznanec V Mesečini (2014)?
Not as great as other books, mostly because I didn't find the characters as compelling. This was a story where I found the other characters more interesting than the main pair. The story had good potential, but I think it fell apart at the end. The story just got way out of control at the end, it was almost like squishing to stories together and wrapping things up a bit too neatly. However, I am intrigued for the next one, which I hope is Reede's story. Overall, this has been a really fun series to read.
