Alliance #4
Divided
Ada is gone, taken by a group of magic-resistant warriors with a grudge against the Alliance. Kay is stranded on Earth, with no way to reach her.
But he won’t accept that Ada is lost.
Ada refuses to resign herself to her fate as a weapon of the Stoneskins. Tapping into her own magic might be her key to escape, but now she’s in an unknown world, far beyond the reach of the Alliance. And the tyrannical, dangerous StoneKing has his eye on her -- and her magic -- for reasons she never could have seen coming.
Kay puts his job, and his life, on the line to get to Ada. But with powers shifting inside and outside the Alliance and an old enemy waiting in the shadows, the countdown to war has begun…

Divided, Torn, Conflict
A fitting title, Divided. There were no right or wrong. No good and evil. Everyone fighting and standing for what they believe, the right to live, to avenge for the wrongdoings done to them.
Very much a reflection of our real world. Endless conflicts mainly rooted in revenge and pride.
The characters also grew up, deeper, and their conflicts and weaknesses shown. Although annoying at times, especially the self pity, but that's me reacting because I'm not them. Thus it was refreshing to see it from another person's eyes, even if they were just fictional characters.

This is the forth book in the series. Because the story builds on a complex world, and much centers around the characters, their pasts, and their relationships, this does not make a good stand alone.
We find Ada where book three left off--captured by the Stoneskins with no chance of escape and certain they have nothing good planned for her. Kay is alive and consumed with the idea of finding Ada. He wants to save her, no matter what the cost...because he's sure that there's more than just her life on the line.
Like the other novels in this series, this is a fast paced story, packed with action, fight scenes, amazing monsters and magical worlds. Danger lurks around every corner, making every scene a tense treat. The world descriptions are colorful and vivid, bringing every strange and familiar place to life. It's easy to picture the surroundings without being drown in details.
The characters are growing, and it's a pleasure to see their friendship deepen and true feelings take light. It's told from Kay and Ada's point of view, the chapters flipping between the two seamlessly without even a little bit of confusion. Both have their own problems and difficult situations, and still there's a connection between the two separate stories. It's a lovely balance which brings more depth to the series than the other books.
Summed up: this is a great continuation of the series. The characters and their relationship an extra shot of depth, which promises fun things for the next books.

This book was just what I needed as an escape from reality! Like the other books before it, I found the magic system creative and unique, and the Stoneskins and the StoneKing were an interesting addition. All in all, another great book in this series!
