“You call this a trial?” Liander Belaisle spun around, glaring with his light yellow eyes, teeth flashing a cunning smile.
“Arrest them both.” Piers’s own voice shook, his power snaking out, aided by the white sorcery at his command, slamming into a wall of magic to be dispersed in a puff of smoke.
“Nice try,” Belaisle said, bowing from the waist in a mocking salute. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like a moment with my client.”
“Your what?” Piers’s normally polished tone was harsh with shock.
“That’s right,” Belaisle said, bright and shining. “As his legal representation, I’m here to defend Jean Marc against all comers.”
Creator’s statue is so close to completion, the Universe crumbling around her while Syd tries to balance worrying about her friends and family while knowing her time as Doombringer is coming, that ultimately her choice will decide the fate of everyone she cares about. Including the handsome enemy soldier who swears he’s on her side. And her son, the Gateway, who isn’t telling her everything…
I write a lot of paranormal books for someone who is afraid of the dark. And I wonder why I have to sleep with the lights on. Sometimes life is a teenaged B horror movie and I'm the one who investigates when the scary music is playing. But the voices are calling and resistance is… Yes. I am a Star Trek geek, too. And a fan of RPG’s. With a slight coolness factor since I've been told I'm allowed to join the pops.
What I thought would happened did and didn't happen. Or maybe it'll happen in the last book of this sub-series. All I know is I cried throughout this book...especially the last quarter or so.
At the end I did feel like slapping Syd, see if you don't feel the same ... And to have that happen? That, you have to find out yourself. But the hits keep coming for her.
Things are still pretty messed up but we do get the answer on the universe, another thing you have to find out by reading.
I chose this rating, because Patti Larsen is an awesome author! This series has kept me on my toes. If you have not read any of these books. You better get started, because it is totally out of this world.
