This review is for Anela Deen's "A Veil is Parted."
“A Veil is Parted” is a fabulous start to Deen’s series! The story focuses on Jessa, a young human woman, and Simith, a pixie warrior. Simith and Jessa have a strong connection from the start. “She understood the look in his eyes; the devouring grief, the vanishing self. She, too, had seen the stranger staring back from the mirror.” Though they are from different worlds, they have a bond, bound by pain, grief, loss, and guilt. They also have an incredible amount of chemistry!
The character development in this story is excellent. Details about Simith’s life and what led him to the portal that took him to the human world are interesting and complex. Jessa’s story is tragic and sad and very much defines her. Furthermore, the minor characters are as interesting as Simith and Jessa. From Jessa’s two friends to her friend’s grandmother, each character is defined, unique and entertaining.
This is a quick read with a ton of action and an amazing ending! I can’t wait to find out what happens to Simith and Jenna on this epic adventure.
