tina_booklover's review against another edition
5.0
The second book of the Relentless-series was just as good as the first book. There are many new characters and sometimes it's a little difficult to remember them all, but the author did a great job and you really felt like you knew all of them personally.
Like in the first book, the author describe every fantasy creature so good, that you could picture them before you and it felt like you were there.
I'm also happy that the Lovestory, which I anticipated through the first book, finally started. There are many ups and downs between those two and I am curious what awaits me in the next book.

I really only started this because I thought the first book was kind of cute but needed a little bit of fleshing out. I thought this book would afford the story the fleshing out it needed, but instead it sees our protagonist trapped in a brand new setting with none of the characters we've come to know for the first third of the book, making for a really exhausting, boring slog. I was so tired by the time Nikolas showed back up that I didn't feel it was worth any more of my time, so this one's a DNF, at least for now! I may try again another time, but I really just wasn't feeling it.

Sara musí opustit domov, školu, přátele a odstěhovat se na území Mohirů. Konečně je mezi svými. Hlavní hrdinka ale vyniká i tam a místní jí nedají nic zadarmo.
Nejen, že každý den na tréninku dostává pořádné nakládačky, musí být ještě k tomu neustále pod dohledem, protože po ní upíří Pán nepřestal pátrat. Tady už by ale přece měla být v bezpečí, nebo ne?
Už dlouho se mi nestalo, že by mě nějaká kniha udržela vzhůru dlouho do noci a že bych ji celou přečetla na jeden zátah. Ale v Útočišti se stránky otáčely úplně samy a než jsem se nadála, byly tři hodiny v noci a já se dostala na konec.
A že to ale byla jízda! Ocitli jsme se na úplně jiném místě, poznali spoustu nových postav (třeba takový Desmund neměl chybu) a oproti prvnímu dílu se konečně rozjela romantická linka (kniha je stará deset let a vůbec mi nevadilo to klišé).
Sice jsme si na hlavního hrdinu museli počkat sto stran, ale když se konečně objevil na scéně, jiskry létaly do všech stran. Byla tam ta správná chemie a já se do těch dvou úplně zamilovala.
Útočiště si udrželo laťku a já si pokračování Nezdolné moc užila. U příběhu jsem se smála, dojala, byla napnutá, smutná.. stále na ty postavy a vše kolem musím myslet a až tohle jednoho dne skončí, dlouho se z toho budu vzpamatovávat.

I've adored "Relentless" many times, reading and re-reading and re-reading it over times again. Much as I adored Karen Lynch's first book, I does not hold a candle to the absolute perfection that encompassed this second addition to the Relentless trilogy, "Refuge." I could not have been more pleased with the story that I got. I was definitely worth the wait!
Sara is the same spunky, independent, no-nonsense girl that we knew and loved in Relentless. However, she is no longer as reckless as she once was. She promised Nate that she would give her new home a chance, and much as she does not like it there (at first), she plans to keep her promise and behave herself as much as can be expected. This does not mean that she won't get into trouble as often as possible, though is she really the one looking for it, or does someone have it our for her?
Sara is having serious trouble fitting in at a compound surrounded by warriors. How can a half-Fae hope to fit in when she can't seem to connect with the Mori inside her? She will find friends in the most unlikely of places when she and a group of Mohiri trainees find themselves under the attack of lamprey demons. How does Sara always manage to find herself in the midst of trouble? And she thought leaving her home would get rid of all her problems.
I absolutely worshipped this second addition to the Relentless trilogy. I was eating out of Lynch's hands, laughing and crying and celebrating along with the rest of the characters. I cannot WAIT for the final addition to make itself known next year. "Rogue." Oh, it is so to die for!!!!
