“This was the truth of the war of hearts… as one hell surrenders to its demise another is swelling, and in the end, we find no victories, only higher stakes.” – Donalt, God of Fear.
A known villain morphs into the spotlight granting an entirely new view of the web of hearts. A supernatural view only a God could possess.
The fates and ties of karma have an insight that no one is ready to hear or face.
I'm an obsessive daydreamer. Lover of loud alternative music. I love to laugh until it hurts. Fall is my favorite season. Black is my favorite 'shade.' Strong believer in the saying: there is a reason for everything, therefore I search for 'marked moments' every moment of everyday...and I find them. Life is beautiful!
An interesting twist to a fated couple that is already set and has proved numerous times against the forces of evil that they will conquer everything thrown at them, including an altered reality. The never ending annoying love triangle that apparently has lasted 20books amazingly, is again the focal point in this book with roles switched between the male leads, with the same turmoils of confusion, guilt and self doubt. Though there is a reason for all the deception as Donalt plots and barters for his ultimate release of his chained fate, quite elaborately and dramatically. I found this book to be misleading in the sense that a fated soulmate couple that has already ascended into their immortal power couldn’t connect with one another, there was literally no recognition between the characters given their newfound status in the series. It was like reading them begin all over again but in different lives, I would of personally liked such an altered reality if it were sooner in the series not 20+ books in when I’m expecting the characters to be much wiser from their past experiences and lessons learned. Willow is trapped in an illusion of her home world, again seeming to be right back where she started in the beginning of this series, I saw no real growth of her character commanding and seeking the unknown, but one who was docile and preferred to ignore the obvious by living in her self denial no matter the consequence and drowning in her constant guilt of love affairs that never seem to conclude. Willow’s romance with Drake was one that was sweet but with a massive amount of possession, definitely lacking a true soul deep connection for obvious reasons. Landen was and always will be the warrior who seeks to understand the unknown, after getting a little help from a barter repaid, he works tirelessly to understand what’s different and wrong with the world surrounding him no matter the convincing evidence it provides. As always even though in this reality Landen wasn’t romantically linked to Willow, he knew without doubt she belonged to him and didn’t let her romance with Drake distract him from the end goal, a very appreciated attribute. Drake, the ever third wheel to Landen and Willow’s love, again was dealt a raw cruel hand, being torn in half by a cast to cause conflict and discord between Landen and Willow. Thankfully Drake seemed to know something was adrift and worked together to escape their circumstance instead of hindering it by staking a claim on a soul that isn’t his to own.
First time rating this low for this series, started off very slow for me it was just fine feel like I didn't learn anything new between Landon and willow....
I was a little confused at the beginning of the story. I didn't know which way was up or down. The more I read the more everything started to fall into place. Jamie did it again she got me all hook and chewing my fingernails until she is able to come out with the next book in her series.
She did it again. I don't know if it's because Jamie Magee is my favorite author, if I'm really biased but she always finds a way to surprise me.
I admit I was skeptical at the beginning, I didn't know how the plot was going to unfold, I was scared of getting bored. But little did I know. It was actually refreshing to see the characters evolving in a new way, as if Insight hadn't been written with the same plot.
I feel like this book is a "practical" book for the series. It sets the path about Landen and Willow's future and it helped them being with each other but learning to be outside of each other, if I can phrase is like that. But we still have all the ingredients that make it a really great book in my opinion!
Anyway, like always I'm transcended when I finish a Jamie Magee's book. This world is mystical and mysterious (Scorpio vibe ehe) and it's really an experience to read this kind of book. I'm really happy to have discovered this series haphazardly three years ago...
I am obsessed with this series. I happened to stumble upon it one day, and I am so glad that in did.
With Donalt still wreaking havoc, will land on and willow survive the next battle in their ascension? I already can not wait for the next book to come out, in going to have to re-read the series for the 4th time just to hold myself over!
