Oh my god...

Is it bad that I think it's hot that Kaine will kill every single person in the Resistance if they get Helena killed?

I have to say this. Luc, the leader of the resistance, and the remaining other higher ups, are COMPLETE MORONS. Stop being so self sacrificing and idealistic. Your moral high ground is going to get you and everyone else killed. Use your brains, you idiots. It is NO WONDER you lost.

OK. Now that that's off my chest, carry on...

This is the most depressing read I've had in a long time. Not only do people get extremely injured and tortured, they are healed and get to do it all over again. Dead people don't stay dead. This is DARK. I've had to read multiple books during this read just to cleanse my palate and keep going. I want to know what happens but this journey is KILLING me.

I'm settling into this. I'm invested in their story. Helena and Kaine make a formidable team and I like how part 2 delves into the beginnings of their history together, rather than the aftermath - which is all we experience in part 1. It's heartbreaking but at the same time hopeful. It's clear to me that the author is intelligent and I really like the intricacies of this world. It's intriguing.

Just finished the sample. Bought it. Will see how it goes…the reviews are mixed and I’m a bit apprehensive but I’m having a hard time stopping myself from reading it. If that makes any sense

I'm 50% in the sample. This book is really interesting but at the same time horrifying. The aftermath of war is terrible and the fact that they are necromancers who are reanimating the corpses of the members of the rebellion they killed in order to teach the rebellion members who survived a lesson is disturbing, to say the least. I'm intrigued but worried I'm not going to be able to make it through the horrors...
