First of all, I don't understand why this book was only 15 chapters long! However, with that being said, a lot happened in those 15 chapters of this fifth book in the Chronicles of Kerrigan Series, Under Fire. It picked up right where the fourth book left off, and if you read it, you'd know that the cliff hanger of the fourth book was just unbelievable.
The start of this book was just unfathomable. I did not guess that this book was going to start off the way that it did, but I was very pleased that it did. The book hit the ground running the storyline and the action. I absolutely loved that the humor and entertainment did not dwindle in this book. As the story continued, it just kept getting better and better with the plot twists. W.J. May does an excellent job of writing that it puts you in the position of feeling the emotions and evening sympathizing with the characters. I'm pretty sure I've said it in my other reviews of the previous books in the series, but I become emotionally invested while reading these books.
All I can say is that this book had plot twist after plot twist and I enjoyed every minute of it because it made me want to keep turning the page. I could not put this book down and when I did, I was thinking about the story and the plot and what could happen. This book is so action packed with the right amount of romance, that it just such a good book.
I absolutely love the character development up to this point. I looked back on my reviews of the previous books before writing this and in the review of the third book I noted that I wanted more from Rae. Let me tell you, since that book, I have seen such character growth in her that is just so pleasing. I am glad that she is the character that she has become now. Ending this fifth book, all I could think was, "Yes, finally. Rae made things happen in this book." I appreciate the journey and the hardship that she had to go through in order to become the character that she is. As for the development of the characters, of course they're good and they complement Rae and the storyline. I don't have much to say because I don't want to give away too much.
Overall, this is an excellent quick read that I highly recommend. I highly recommend the series. It's action packed, excellent storyline, excellent plot twists, great characters, and good humor. Can't say anything else except that I look forward to reading on!
