In order to escape Tassin’s enemies, Sabre takes her into the Death Zone, the most perilous place on the planet, a terrifying realm where natural laws hold no sway and life hangs by a thread. Only the deadly abilities he hates so much will keep her safe, forcing him to use them whilst he strives to learn what it is to be human, confused by his forbidden feelings for the high-spirited Queen.
T. C. Southwell was born in Sri Lanka and moved to the Seychelles when she was a baby. She spent her formative years exploring the islands – mostly alone. Naturally, her imagination flourished and she developed a keen love of other worlds. The family travelled through Europe and Africa and, after the death of her father, settled in South Africa.
T. C. Southwell has written over thirty novels, ranging from fantasy and science fiction to romance and adventure, as well as five screenplays. Her hobbies include motorcycling, horse riding and art, and she earns a living in the IT industry.
Great continuation of the story. The giant snails are cool. Snort I want one. The boon is filled with Wild imagination making the story entertaining for sure.
Two huge things that annoy me so bad I wanna quit reading. The queen is dumber than a box of rocks, helpless as a kitten and berates everyone around her. Women readers should be offended. Also, what kind of idiot refuses to kill someone in Defence when the bad guy is trying to kill you constantly and kidnap your queen. Knowing she will be raped and brutalized. So if that kind of thing irritates you don’t read it.
Such a good series so far, I seem to fall in love with all of TC Southwell's books. The characters are unique & interesting, such an imaginative world that you can really lose yourself in.
I thought this book was pretty good. The pace was awesome, wanted to see what was going on. As usual Southwell comes up with the most interesting worlds.
This one was ever changing and the societies Saber and Tassin ran into were just as varying as the landscape.
Saber is as awesome as ever and Tassin is as obnoxious as possible at all times, as per usual.
I think it'd be awesome to see these big, crazy snails.
In this, Tassin is far more tolerable than in the first book. I'm only on the 4th in the series, but this one certainly wasn't the best. It was no worse, no better than the first book but it didn't stand out. I wasn't a big fan of the Dead Zone creature, 'Purr,' but it wasn't enough to turn me off of the series.
With each book in this series, it becomes more difficult to stop reading, possibly since the book is character driven and the characters are so realistic. Readers will also find a very different Tassin by the end of this book – one who isn’t nearly as selfish and conceited as the Tassin of Book 1 – as with all people, Tassin is changed by her experiences and the author portrays this brilliantly.
This series is just getting better and better! T.C. Southwell's world's are amazingly diverse with characters and settings. Tassin has definitely grown up and isn't as snobby as in the first. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
