My first reread of this series, of hopefully many more to come. There's really something special about these books. I love seeing how I thought during my first read and how wrong I was about certain things.
Original review:
You know how sequels sometimes tend to suffer from "second book syndrome", where they're bad and/or feel like a filler? Well this book just blew that stereotype into oblivion. It's even better than book one. And book one was awesome. So what does that make this? Awesome x2? Yes.
The story continues where we left off, more or less, and immediately the action starts. Poor Veerka and Alexis can't catch a break. A couple of chapters later, the main "quest" is revealed. For a second there I thought it would be one of those "go there, fetch that" things and I'm glad I was wrong.
The scale of their mission gradually increases and so does their little disfunctional found family.
TO MY GREAT JOY, THE INCUBUS IS BACK. And now I'm having problems picking a favourite. But maybe Alexis won't have to pick??? THOUGHTS HAVE BEEN THUNK. HINT HINT.
He's not just back, he has a role to play, one I wasn't expecting at all. I love all of his scenes. I think him waiting to show up wasn't the best choice on his part, but oh well, he's here now, that's all that matters.
Rachel got so good at magic, I'm SHOOK. She really has mad skills. I'm proud of my little witchling. They grow up so fast *wipes tear*. And Zane? I ship it.
This isn't a long book, but a lot happens. And yet it doesn't feel crammed in. Of course I wish it was longer though.
AND WHEN I TELL YOU I CRIED. OH I CRIED.
ANYWAY, I'm really excited to see how it's all going to end in book three. We had a good build up here so the conclusion is going to be epic, I can feel it.
