War has come to the Empire of Pangaea, but the tensions are still gaining altitude.
As Arianne Murray struggles to fulfill her role as a warrior and leader to her people, Keston Leroy is crumbling under the strain of his double life as a global celebrity and Underground king. As figureheads of their rival civilizations, Arianne and Keston find themselves pitted against each other as tempers flare across every continent and creed.
Unfortunately, neither avian has a good track record of de-escalating anything, especially when they’re both involved.
Now, as Asia and its unholy Underground enter the race for global domination, Arianne and Keston are forced to volley for control of the Empire’s largest continent. Crawling through neon nightclubs and tempted by vices in every direction, will these lovers-turned-enemies find a way to conquer the slumbering power of Asia’s criminal underbelly, or will their rivalry throw the world into an even steeper tailspin? Find out in the turbulent The Unholy Angels, the penultimate installment of the Legends of Pangaea series!
The Legends of Pangaea series has a fascinating and sometimes heart-shattering mix of science fiction, fantasy, romance and political intrigue which only develops throughout the series. Book 4 is definitely the culmination of a lot of themes that started earlier on the in series, including love, betrayal, blurred/shifting alliances, family, and just how much the elite hide (or attempt to hide) from the general public. I love a good political intrigue in my fantasy books, and wow does The Unholy Angels hit you with some big ones. Yes, we've known the government of Pangea is corrupt, but woooooow no, I may not be surprised, but I did NOT see that one coming. (If you want to find out what said plot twist is, duh, add to TBR).
I also continue to appreciate the mental health rep throughout the series. ID Marie puts her characters through absolute hell, and they most certainly do not emerge from it unscathed. And honestly, they shouldn't. War is hell, whether that's physical war or the repulsive court politics that some of the characters find themselves immersed in. And this series definitely portrays the effects war has on its characters.
So if you love a good enemies to lovers to enemies to ???, political intrigue, and war against...genocide (?), you'll want to check this book (and series if you haven't read the other books) out.
The Legends of Pangaea continue in what seems to be the darkest chapter yet. I really enjoyed this entry as we follow Keston and Arianne into the pit. The ending was nuts and I will be anxiously awaiting the final volume! The series is great and the investment in the broad cast of characters certainly pays off! Check it out!
