I received an ARC of this book from the author however all opinions are my own.
I really enjoyed this and it might be my favourite in the series! This series continues to get better with each book . I love the authors use of imagery makes the world of Zeneshia seem realistic . I love how the plot has developed with each book as more characters and story lines have been added. The plot twist near the end left me wanting to know more and I can't wait to continue on with the series !! Also I love the cover !
As in all of Lorraine's other books in the stories, I loved her use of imagery. It makes you feel like you are in Zeneshia, like you can see everything through Alessia's eyes. The plot is well developed as in her other two books. There was an interesting plot twist towards the end that I'm interested in learning more about in her next book Sequence Unbound. The ending was not what I expected, but that is good in a time when ideas are constantly being recycled. However, I feel that the slang can be distracting and sometimes there are too many metaphors, overcoming the beautiful imagery.
Every book is even better than the one before and I just can't start describing it because words seem so meaningless now. As usual, thank you Lorraine for everything, starting with the copy and finishing in my astonishment with the book.
Superb fantasy read as usual by this author. Just lost me in another world and impossible to put it down until I finished. Received an ARC. Reviewed because I love it and am ready for more.
I have read 3 of the sequence books so far and will read the forth when it's available. The characters in the books are what will keep me coming back. The two brothers, the heroine, the grandmother, and the best friend and their relationship to each other. The Sequence part of the story still has me puzzled abit. I will probably have to read the series in its entirety again and perhaps again to understand it all.
The plot FINALLY gets going in this one, but I have a new distaste for Alessia. She's truly as dumb and impulsive as they come, and her stupid decisions cost everyone. Not to mention, her romance with Dante heats up a bit in this book, which I didn't quite appreciate. While there was never anything explicit, there was enough mention of what happens AFTER you get married that it made me uncomfortable. Granted, it's a good discussion to have in real life when you get married, but I don't really want to read that much about it OR read about Dante and Alessia thinking about it. The only good thing about this book is Jad. Is he obsessed with Alessia just like Dante? Yes. Do I understand why? Nope. But he at least got to see her at her worst and was always there with her. What made me truly mad was how Alessia treated him and how blindly oblivious she was. Jad is endgame, y'all - he's a thousand times better than Dante. (Also, I did start the next book but couldn't finish it. It gets super creepy plot-wise and talks a lot more about pregnancy and stuff, which just totally weirded me out. Just a warning.)
