This series is such a non stop action packed thrill ride, the characters never get a break, we move from one catastrophe to the next and this is what I love about this series. There are never any lulls, when the characters aren’t directly in the heat of battle or fighting for their lives they are plotting or gearing up for the next adventure. There is always an undertone of romance throughout the story with the various couples that form, even during the process of this story and it only further enhances a story that comes from a series so carefully crafted through these books. The continued worldbuilding is top tier, we get to further explore different worlds through Nemains magic as our group of characters both well know and new venture to save the people they love most.
In order to keep her family safe Nemain has made a deal with someone she would very much rather see dead, however, he's come to collect and there's no going back now. This made is the leader of the warlocks and what he is asking for is no small task, he wants to make his vampire allies stronger, and Nemain has no choice to say yes even if it means making the vampires strong enough to wipe out the werewolves once and for all. With it feeling like they are up against everything from curses to a new mate bond that is so very unpredictable as well as the prophecy thay predicts the end of realms, Nemain is at her wits end. However, they all know if its going to get worse for anyone its going to be them. They need a solution for the curse placed on Magos, and an old friend needs help with controlling his inner wolf, and with a debt to fulfil it looks like they are all going on a mission to find the sorcerer that made the vampires. So now all they need to do is survive the coming storm, and a realm of darkness full of primordial devours that make even Nemain look like a kitten.
There are so many amazing characters to talk about that I don't even know where to fully begin. We get to revisit characters we already know and love, while meeting entirely new characters, some we learn to love and some not so much. Nemain continues to be an absolute badass, and we have come to the point now where even she begins to doubt herself and her ability to protect those she loves. It is such an interesting character development that shows the depth of her personality, and to me felt like such a hunan response to all of the constant fighting against what feels like everyone and everything. Mikhail is still just as frustrating as ever, pushing Nemain's buttons like only he knows best. Strong and steadfast, he keeps Nemain grounded when she is feeling a bit murdery, but then also just like Nemain understands and aligns with her love for killing and bloodshed. He will stop at nothing to protect Nemain and I love the possessiveness we see from the both of them throughout this story not that the mating bond between them has awoken. There relationship and restraint is definitely tested in this book as we meet a nunber of both of their exes, who aren’t exactly helpful when it comes to flirting with one or both of them. We continue to learn more of their respective pasts and how it got them to where they are now, which continues their evolution of their characters.
Maddox continues to develop the elaborate magical system within this world throughout this book, complex as are the characters that inhabit this world but so important to the story being told. Getting to explore new worlds and new creatures makes this book even more interesting, and don't get me started on the secrets and betrayal that are bound to keep you guessing. I loved the non-stop action, the way that there is always another adventure to go on or another person that needs saving even if the characters are frankly fed up with it. While the quests themselves can feel specific they each contribute to the overarching story that flows through each of the books, keeping that consistent thread throughout the series. I already cannot wait for more of this series and these characters.
Thank you so much to the author for the e-ARC to read and review early.
