What can I say? This series fucking floored me, elevated me, colonized my head. I can't remember the last time I was so gripped and fundamentally rattled by a book.

This is an astounding piece of work.

I have never read a series that took on most of the themes I've been passionately interested in for years - intimate power struggles, the psychology of domestic abuse, the psychology and banality of evil, the structure of totalitarian societies, the human face of organisational brutality, intergener ...more

So finally I finished this serie on New Year's Eve , such a perfect way to start 2015 , and this is my first time writing a review so hopefully it will be good.

The world of TA is a very similar copy of what we are living in my country, same reign, same methods only different names and faces , so that made it all very understandable, the characters are so well described and implanted that you'll never have to wonder if it's real or not , because you'll always feel it's right ..

I have a personal So finally I finished this serie on New Year's Eve , such a perfect way to start 2015 , and this is my first time writing a review so hopefully it will be good.

The world of TA is a very similar copy of what we are living in my country, same reign, same methods only different names and faces , so that made it all very understandable, the characters are so well described and implanted that you'll never have to wonder if it's real or not , because you'll always feel it's right ..

I have a personal infatuation with Toreth , I feel somehow related to his case, and well if that makes me an entry in a list of psychopaths then I won't object, at least We have something in common , Warrick is a very stable personality with precise goals and needs and that makes the game so complete , Toreth and Warrick complement each other perfectly , Toreth with his predictable yet furious impulses and Warrick with his non-ending patience .
Sara is another character that I felt was a bit ignored, I respect her personality.. even though she made some mistakes , that only means she is human , her endless trust and support for Toreth, in making his relationship with Warrick works , and in her sense for truth and loyalty .. All of that makes her the third most important person in the world of TA , And although Dilly is another worth-mentioning character , I feel corrupted by Toreth's idea of her in the last chapters , she is a nice caring sister with a perfectly understandable caution towards her dangerous brother's lover

Now as an overall review , I can say that 5 stars for all the books is already declaring it , I was rendered speechless by it, I cried , laughed, tensed, and smiled, and all the while I Leart from Toreth how to deal with the everyday matters in that cold demeanour that really helps with Annoying people , I was faced with an arranged marriage in the period of reading the series and it helped me say a plain “No." "Don't leave an opening. Never qualify a refusal.” and not regret it even after facing my family's wrath for a while ..
So for Manna Francis, the unusual author with the most perfect style of writing , I'm forever grateful , and I can't wait till I get book 8 in this spring , and for everyone who got 2 seconds of their precious time to vote for the books and give them 4 or 5 stars, thank you, I don't know who I was before reading the books and I would've never found out if I didn't see it classified in the best MM romance mystery shelf. ...more
