Born of Ice was another great addition to The League series. The story is set nearly 20 years after the previous book Born of Fire which was disappointing as I wanted to hear the story of Darling, Dancer and the other first gen team. However, the first gen characters are still featured throughout this book. Also, we are introduced to a cast of memorable characters who are sure to be great heroes / heroines in future releases.

As for our current hero and heroine, Devyn and Alix… the circ...more

I loved and I mean loved the first two books in the League series. Born of Ice was no exception. I really enjoyed this one and boy did I fly through it. It is tiny compared to the other books. So small that I flew through it in one afternoon.

This story centres around Alix and Devyn. I liked them both, but I'm sorry as a couple I liked Syn and Shahara so much more.They were just way more likeable and sweet together. But enough of them. Let's get back to you. (view spoiler)...more

And strip off the rest of your clothes while you’re doing that.

Anyways, I still loved the crew and I want to be a part of it and live on the ship and be a cool copilot and go to dangerous missions and have an exciting life while visiting different planets. Ugh I so hate my life right now...

I liked Devyn and his whole multiple personality disorder. That’s what his attitude meant to me. He’s a good guy in a second and then the next he turns psycho and kills ten guys with only a fork. Yep, he’s that good. Now I may be sick but two faced people fascinate me. They offer variety so you don’t get bored easily. Plus, as all of SK’s characters, he’s a hot motha so of course all the ladies are drooling over him. But that’s not important. He’s just too perfect perky and shiny. I mean yeah he had a normal life, he’s a mamma’s boy (wtf?? So not cool!) and got raised in a very good environment. I’m surprised he didn’t end up a pansy after all this pampering. Cruel but the cool heroes have childhood issues. And psychopaths also but let’s not ruin the fun.

Alix is... strange? At first I thought she’s sweet and felt bad for her childhood issues but she didn’t make a good heroine. I didn’t feel a connection to her nor Devyn, while I’m at it. They lacked chemistry and their “feelings” (love especially) didn’t seem genuine. But that doesn’t mean that they weren’t fun together. Nothing too fancy.

Aaaaaaaand Nero ♥ he’s my boy-toy in this series!

Well *sighs* I wanted more action and a better story. I have to admit that this is the typical thing you find these days in romance novels. Guy meets girl, love/lust whatever at first sight, girl has to screw guy over to save family from death, guy finds out but forgives her, guy and girl join forces to battle the boogeyman. Is it just me or does this book resemble the majority of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s stories? Or maybe just The League series? I have nooo idea but it’s still a fun book to read. (less)

This is an entertaining story; however, it lacks the dramatic flair of the previous two books of the series. Specifically . . .

The chemistry between Devyn and Alix fell flat. I get the instant attraction -- by all accounts Devyn is a nummy treat and who wouldn't want him. But the transition from lust to love is largely absent from the story. In fact, the whole romance element seems to take a backseat to the good vs. bad guys conflict. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you picked this b...more

I enjoyed the first two books as they had good character development that really dug into character motivation that goes into psyche and action. It's hard to connect with Devyn, Syn's son, and while we are at it, Nyk's spawns also. These "trust fund babies" have been given everything to them and with all their parents' political connections, it makes me wonder if Devyn will ever get punished even if he is caught as a Runner. There's no conflict because I feel like these kids are like the Paris H...more

I bought the book Born of Ice by Sherrilyn a long time ago and thought that it was a terrific series. The first and second book was great, but then somehow I got off onto another book and never picked up the third book. I was at the Half Price Books and it was raining, and I decided to pick up a book that I already owned, so I would not be tempted to buy another book and picked up this one.

All right. I’ve read all three of The League books currently available and I have to say they gradually get better so I have a lot of hope that the next book (due in January) will be even better, here’s hoping.

Let’s do a little bit of background. Nykyrian and Kiara (Born of Night) got married and had Adron, Taryn, Jayce, Zarina and one other boy.

I’ve read all three of The League books currently available and I have to say they gradually get better so I have a lot of hope that the next book (due in January) will be even better, here’s hoping.

Let’s do a little bit of background. Nykyrian and Kiara (Born of Night) got married and had Adron, Taryn, Jayce, Zarina and one other boy. Syn and Shahara (Born of Fire) got married and had Devyn, but Syn also claims Padon from his previous marriage. Are you confused because in this book you meet children of many of the other players in previous books? It would seem that the only people, so far as I can tell, that didn’t settle down are Nero and Caillen (Shahara’s brother). Well, we don’t learn too much about Shahara’s other siblings but the point is there are a lot of progeny in this story and it makes it just a little confusing.

We also learn, in the very beginning of the book, that Devyn ends up adopting a little boy named Omari whose parents were killed when The League came through his area and killed everyone. So that is Syn and Shahara’s grandchild.

Now that we’ve got that straightened out… yes, the point of it is that Kenyon gives us so much information because of her time jump between book two and three that it makes it hard to keep up. The only reason I wasn’t screaming in frustration is because the rest of the story seemed so straight forward and easy.

Alix comes on ship with every intention of finding evidence of illegal activity against Devyn so she can save her sister and mother but can’t help falling in love with the very man she’s sent in to betray. Sounds so typical and yet it was really good. Alix clearly doesn’t have a great opinion of herself and at times that can be really annoying but considering she grew up as a slave it makes a little more sense than normal. Granted Kenyon’s need to make her character’s overcome some sort of betrayal of abuse is still prevalent. Still, no matter what Alix has been through she is strong and capable and at times very funny. She’s probably my favorite of the female characters, so far, in the series. She really brings to mind Kayle from Firefly but not quite as quirky.

Devyn on the other hand has led a rich and wonderful life. His parents adored him. He had many friends (Nykyrian and Kiara had a ton of kids) and he followed in his father’s footsteps and became a doctor. He even was engaged to be married but as you learn in this book, she wasn’t worthy of him and bad things happened which, of course, makes our hero skeptical of women, but only a little. Despite his horrible experience with his fiancée, Devyn barely hesitates where Alix is concerned. He sees right through her doughty closes and realizes there is someone special standing in front of him. Not only is he a great boyfriend but he turns out to be a very good man, friend, son and father. He doesn’t have as much story has the previous heros but part of me likes him just as much as his father, in spite of it.

Overall, Kenyon did a great job with this book, and I’m looking forward to more in there series. Also, again, this book was changed a lot from its earlier printing so if you liked the first (or didn’t) you might try this out again.(less)

However, since I was able to finish it, I thought it probably deserved a 2.

This book is instalment #3 in the League series, taking place (my guess) 30 or so years after the events of book #2 (which portrayed Syn and Shahara). In this book, Devyn, the son of the legendary Sentella member and expert hacker Syn, took centre stage. Devyn had it all – not only was he the son of Syn and Shahara, he was well-trained in almost everything that his parents were skilled in, including medical, flying, combative, hacking etc. He was extremely rich and he was doing things for a good cause. Oh, and let’s not forget that he was also good-looking and physically attractive. He had envious family ties - his parents loved him, and his family were friends with people who had enormous political influence in the universe. Devyn would be your model hero character.

Alix was the unfortunate female lead who had a tough life living as a slave under her father’s brutal control. She learned on her own to become an engineer on her father’s spaceship. As a slave, she often had to “serve” ship crew sexually to “relieve” their needs. The villain of the story, Merjack, used Alix as a spy to gain evidence of Devyn’s criminal activities. Alix was forced to comply because Merjack held her mother and sister hostage.

The attraction between Alix and Devyn was instantaneous. It wasn’t simply because Alix resembled Devyn’s ex-fiancee, it was that he felt an irristible pull towards her. Although Alix felt mutual attraction towards Devyn, she continued to struggle with her spying purposes and how it would be wrong to fabricate evidence against Devyn.

So, after reading about one-third of the book, I could honestly tell you that nothing really happened, other than that we were introduced to the characters and that Alix was able to get herself onto Devyn’s ship to work as an engineer. The plot building was extremely slow in the works, and the whole situation was a joke because Devyn appeared to think with his penis and not his brain in Alix’s presense for a good part of the book. Given the nature of his activities, one would expect that he did a thorough background check on the girl before hiring her. But oh no, he decided on the spot that it was okay to just let a stranger onto his ship. The actions actually didn’t really pick up until pretty much near the last quarter of the book, and even then it was over so quickly that I barely noticed the climax.

Okay, let’s talk about chemistry... Normally, I’d feel the sizzling effects between two well-written characters. In this case, there was none, zilch, nada. There was absolutely no chemistry whatsoever between Alix and Devyn. It just felt as though they went from lusting for each other suddenly to loving each other. The transition was so abrupt under the circumstances that it was not very convincing. Seriously, I didn’t care much for neither one of them. I found myself more interested in other secondary characters such as Vik (the mecha) and Zarina (a princess and the daughter of Nykyrian and Kiara from book #1). Sadly, the interactions between Alix and Devyn, or simply their internal (horny) monologues, took up too many pages of the novel and there weren’t enough dedicated to the other characters in my opinion.

Before Alix’s intended treachery was discovered, she often had these internal struggles in which she battled with herself on what she should do. I know she had suffered a lot in her past and that I should probably give her a break, but she was just that annoying, so I found myself skipping/skimming the passage whenever it had to do with her. On this, I must say that the author had failed to create a character that could have been captivating and moving given the premise of the story, but instead she turned out to be flat.

It was obvious that the author tried to introduce some humor in the story, but it sucked big time. There was a lot of bantering going on between Devyn and his crew and friends. Even Devyn himself often tried to lighten up Alix’s mood by making humorous remarks. Unfortunately, it often failed to amaze me. I normally would very much appreciate a little humor and bantering in the dialogues, but for some reason the author just didn’t do it right for me. I just felt that she had it all in the wrong and inappropriate places. Meh!

I must also mention that there were many grammatical errors in the book. The editor didn’t do a very good job in cleaning things up. The mistakes were so obvious that I’d often re-read the sentence and then go huh??!! As an example, on pg 321 of the paperback that I was reading, “...there wouldn’t be a single soul who’d step forward on his behalf. Not a one...” Really? Not a one? What the heck was that?!? There were numerous similar errors like this throughout the book but I didn’t keep track. I just remembered this one because it was close to the end of the book.

One thing that I think the author did well on was on the length of the novel. I thought the first 2 books of the series were way too lengthy and the stories kind of dragged on. Thankfully she made it decent this time – it was long enough for a novel but not too long. If it was long like its other two predecessors, I wasn’t sure if I could finish this book.

Overall, I still liked the futuristic setting of this series. It was unique and held lots of potential. I just hope that the next books in the series are able to make up for the dissatisfaction I felt for this book.

Gah, I love this series so much! Kenyon turned it in a completely new direction here by moving the story forward 20 years and focusing on the original crew's children. It was so much fun to see all of Nykyrian and Kiara's children grown up, and Syn and Shahara's son Devyn is the hero of this novel. It doesn't stop there, though, because we also see the children of other crew members, as well as Nero again.

Like I said, it's not that I didn't like it. It just wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe if I had read the previous books, I would have understood (knew the characters) and liked it more? I picked this one because I had to get some work done and needed an audiobook in a hurry. This was one of the few that the library had readily available (that appealed to me). I didn't read the synopsis (I usually don't) before I downloaded it. Let me go look at it now. Yeah, I wouldn't have listened to it if I had read that synopsis.

Devlin is a runner and Alix is on his ship in order to protect her mother and sister can go free. Sounds like a book, and it is! I know, I know, it wasn't funny. Sorry! But you'd find more if you read the book. You know you want to compare reactions, so just do it already.

Devlin is a tough guy who's not really that bad. His crew is pretty funny. They joke around and call each other old ladies. I thought that was funny and I laughed. Sway was funny and even Devlins son was interesting. I liked Vick as well. The narrator on this was actually really good. I think that's the main reason why I kept listening to it! I want to listen to more of his books!

I liked that Dev had a great relationship with his parents, especially his mom. I laughed every time he was on the phone with her! Good stuff. I plan on making my kids do the same thing at the end of phone calls.

Alix is pretty cool, too. She's had a really tough life and has a huge burden to bear. Really, all she wants is for her sister not to end up like her. How noble. No really, that wasn't sarcasm. I really think it's noble.

So, it sounds like I should have loved it, right? But I didn't. Meh. It was too space age future with not enough going on for me to care, I suppose. Landing on other planets, blasters instead of guns, spaceships.... meh!

I think it's fun trying to guess who'll end up with their own books. My money is on Noah, I think that was his name. Hmmm, and I just might want to read his book! Earlier, didn't I say I wouldn't read any other books in this series?? I did, didn't I? Figures!

Third in The League series and very good in my opinion. Slightly shorter than the first two, this one takes place about 20 years later than the previous ones. This one features Syn and Sharara's son, Devyn Kell. Devyn is a runner and needs an engineer. Enter Alix Garran, an engineer. Alix is actually a slave sent to gather incriminating evidence against Devyn. I think I liked this one better than the first two. Gasp! Just found the next one Born of Shadow at Walmart.

I really loved having the opportunity to see Syn and Shahara’s son. It was odd at first jumping ahead more than 20 years to when their baby was grown and living his own life, but as the story went on I really liked seeing how their whole world had changed. It was so nice to see Syn and Shahara back again along with Vic and Nero and characters who were only babies in the last book or had not yet been born.
I liked both Devyn and Alix as characters, although there wasn’t anything overly exceptional or unique about them.
It was so obvious to see from this book that Dev truly is his parent’s son, especially his father. They’re both so alike and I loved getting little glimpses into how they raised him and lived their life after the conclusion of the last book. I thought it was so great that Dev was so proud to be who he was and that he didn’t care what people thought of his family’s history. He was a very brave, honourable man and I thought it was great that he wanted to help people and do the right thing. I was lost to him the moment he saved Omari, regardless of what his boss said; I think that one action alone showed the kind of man he was.

I did like Alix, although I must say that there wasn’t anything about her that really “caught” me or captivated me all too much. I can understand why she did the things that she did, and I liked that she faced things more as the story progressed.
While I did actually really like the romance and relationship between Devyn and Alix, I must say that at first I didn’t really see why they were so attracted to one another or where those feelings really came from. They seemed to want each other straight away and to me that just seemed like a tad forced; especially right at the beginning of the book.
I really loved seeing Vic again. He’s such an awesome character and he cracks me up constantly with the things he says and the way he acts towards everyone. I like his little snips and I think it's sooo cute how much he cares for Syn and his family especially Dev. It was so good to see that Syn had worked on him and made him more human over the years. It’s got me thinking that I’d really like to see him perhaps find love one day. Although he’s Mecna, Syn has given him feelings and emotions and while he acts like a child a lot of the times, I think seeing him find someone to be with one day would be really great. It’s something I intend to keep my eye on.

Omari too. I’d like to see Devin’s son find a nice gal in a few years time. Actually to be perfectly honest, there are a tonne of characters that I’d love to see books about. I’m looking forward to Caillen’s book next and Darling’s after that, although I think the jumping back and forth in time may be annoying. I’m guessing (??) that Born of Shadow’s will be set sometime after Born of Fire (Syn and Shahara’s story) and not this one, as will Darlings after that. One thought that’s stuck with me is Darlings daughter. I thought that Darling was into men, so how did that happen? I guess it’s something I’ll learn in time, but until then, it’s something that will plague me. I hate having unanswered questions.

Grrr. Now I CANNOT wait until the next book! It better get here soon!

I am still reading this but have to say it is a little disappointing that we are now 20 years in the future with the next generation in the Sentella's children. there were alot of characters in the first two books that were so interesting and they need their stories told before you get to the next generation. I mean there are grown adult children in this book of couples you never read about getting together. Why not write this later after telling Hauk's story or Jane's story, or Callien's story...more

I am glad I read this book after #4 Born of Shadows & #5 Born of Silence because it has totally restored my faith in the series!

Despite being set a some odd 25 years in the future which was totally odd to me at first I really liked this installment which revolves around Devyn, the son of Syn and Shahara from book #2 Born of Fire. Confused yet? Other characters in the books were the children of Nyk and Kiara from Book #1 Born of Night, Darling and Ren from book #5 Born of Silence, and Dancer...more

This was a fun book, but definitely had a different feel from the other two. When I first started to read I was confused because it didn't seem like there were any characters in common and these were just random new people. But once I realized that the series was on to the next generation it got very interesting, especially as all the old people started to pop in along with the kids and you saw how the original group of friends stayed really close, their kids growing up like siblings to each oth...more

Two and a half.

I've decided I'm not as keen on The League series as I am on Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters. While the first installment, Born of Night blew me away, sadly I can't say the same for Born of Fire or Born of Ice.

Alix and Devyn's story was enjoyable enough but I didn't feel the connection between the two of them. Lust become undying love almost overnight and things wrapped up very quickly at the end - moreso than usual with SK's books.

Talk about the ruthlessness of Devyn's mother, Sh...more

I am not going to go into what this story is about, but I was very disappointed with this one. I loved Born on Night and Born of Fire, I could not wait to read this one but the heroine Alix was totally unsuitable for Devyn our hero. I loved the inter play between the guys in this story. The story was good but Alix let everything fall apart. She just could not compare to any on the women in the series. SK gave us good, strong, loyal women that we loved immediately in the previous books but Alix l...more

Shelves: audio, favorite-author, slow, recycled-storyline

The first 1/2 felt like deja vu after reading Born of Fire.- Man wanted by evil Dark Lord to avenge the wrongs done to him and his family in the past uses women to find said man only to have them going at it like bunnies.-Didn't we just do that one generation up the family tree ? Bah, waste of time. I was about to throw it aside and move on to the third book when the story twisted a bit and gained my interest. The last 1/4 was filled with intense action, revelations and new direction for the nex...more

They have a protagonist usually a League assassin or even formerly a League assassin who has a crisis or dilemma of some kind. The assassin meets his soul-mate they...more

I dont think SK could write a poor book if she tried, and this series, so different from the Dark Hunters, is, however, just as intriguing and I find it very enjoyable.

The main character is Syn, who had a big part and gained my interest in Born of Night. He is a very complicated character and this book delves deep into his life and answers many of the questions about his character in BON.

Enjoy. Dont expect another Dark Hunter, but allow yourself to get to know these new and intriguing characters...more
