I've been patiently waiting to see Skye's story in this series and I was not disappointed. Don't get me wrong, Blue and Sol were wonderful, but I've been just as curious as Blue wondering how her sister was making out after being sacrificed. Would she be too weak to handle her new situation and environment? I have to say that Skye really surprised me. I loved her sarcasm and her ability to play a part. It was something that had gotten her far in life already although those around her couldn't recognize the mask she wears, even her own sister. Reading about her past and why she always had to come off as the good, happy sister was heartbreaking in a way. From first glance, it seemed like Blue was the one working the hardest to keep their family floating, training and working two jobs in order for her sister to play piano, but Skye had her own tasks as well to keep everyone protected. Blue may have been a fighter, but that doesn't mean that Skye was any less fierce in her own way.
Like Sol and Blue, Skye and Breeze were very much opposites, soft vs hard, cold vs warm. But that was more so the surface characteristics that they showed. After they got to know each other a bit more and understand each other's situations, you could see how many layers they had in their personalities, what drove them to act the way they did, and what lies beneath the masks they wear. You could tell that despite being so different, they actually had quite a lot in common. They seemed to click really well with each other and it was fun to see them play their parts to fool those around them, similarly to their siblings, while they figured out exactly what was going on.
I'm interested to see what happens with the other princes now that Skye, Breeze, Sol, and Blue are all together. Did the brothers betray their only family or is there more to the whole situation like with most of the interactions in this series? It seems that there is usually a reason behind all of the demons' actions even if something doesn't come off as a positive thing at first. Is this the case with the other brothers or will there be a family rivalry about to happen?
