I was so happy with this book. Isabell writes two different kinds of stories—character based and plot based. Character based stories are like many in the beginning and like William and Kaia’s story just was. They focus on the characters, falling in love, and the Dormants transition into an Immortal. The plot-based stories have all of that, but also have the added bonus of including info pertaining to the overarching plot.
Now that we’re 65 books in, and there’s an established overarching plot, going back to those solely character-based plots is a bit difficult for me. I’m happy William got his HEA, but I was really hoping for some info on the Odus—that’s what the goal of their project is. We didn’t get it, which makes sense since it’ll take a long time to translate the Okidu’s journals. I hope we get back to it.
But THIS book really has everything! Marcel and Sophia are very unique from the other characters, and I love seeing the new characters with interesting backgrounds and motivations interacting. I never thought I’d be so grateful for Eleanor, but she really saved the day in this book! My heart was pounding at the end!
I’m so glad we are finally making headway in the Kra-ell story line. I’m really interested and filled with theories about how Annani’s clan is going to rescue Jade and the other women and children from the compound. I also desperately want to know what part the Kra-ell have to play in the even greater storyline—once rescued, what next?
