Feast of Sparks by Sierra Simone

5.0

OMG...WTH...I NEED TO PROCESS.......RTC once I've calmed the crap down.

Updated

Here is the deal: Sierra’s writing style is fantastic! It is unique, and she weaves magic into her words. It's almost trance-like when you read! For character depth, personality, creativity, complexity, and the emotional torture we go through this book earns 5 Stars.

Problem- last few pages could make this 2 Stars. For me, a lot of how I feel about this book depends on the next! That might not sound fair, but that's the way series sometime go! I HAVE TO READ BOOK 3! This potential shock could potentially ruin the series FOR ME!!

The places this story goes are fascinating and boundary-pushing, more like boundary-shattering. There are sexual elements I still can't get into. This book has EVERYTHING. It is not for the prudish or faint of heart, but you've already read book one, so that's not a surprise.
I can't read straight erotica. I have to have a romantic love story. I feel this book despite the crazy orgy & other scenes that it is a love story. The relationship between these characters is beyond anything I've read, and their longing & want goes way beyond lust. Their desire and love are lodged deep inside their souls. I don't completely understand what magic or psychology is going on!?!

There are so many details I want to discuss, but secrecy and surprise are what fuels this story! So many questions are unanswered!!

If you want my very vague opinion on those last couple pages. Read on. I won't tell you what happens but my reaction & opinions, which mean nothing! lol

If you read any of my updates, around 75% I started to wonder if the story was going to have this specific twist. The wording is so important, and the way something was phrased made me pause and think.
Later on in the story, another conversation happens that really clued me in that Sierra was going to go for it, I hoped I was wrong, but she did.


With all that said...I don't think the shocker is the truth! There are too many factors, and the source of information makes me doubt it. Though how a character acted knowing/not knowing this is still shocking and heartbreaking. It is a disgusting betrayal!

I don't know how this mess is going to be dealt with!?! It ruins everything has been built. On a separate topic, despite a certain plan & purchase, I believe we will see a rather large consequence with significant uncertainty! That potential story intrigues and excites me!!
