Blade of Secrets by Tricia Levenseller

4.0

Ok, yes, this helps with the chaos in books 2. But still, Ziva and her inner thoughts annoy me if she isn't kissing or fighting. I get mental despair and social anxiety. I truly do. But her character seems a bit coddled. She has the ability to be so much but her thoughts get in her way and her sister Temra is an enabler through and through. Which I mean whatever can you be at the ripe age of 16/17 and no adults to raise you. At the same time I am more interested and happy with the journey and the fight scenes than the lack of character growth. She is still the same person. And then the codependency is sickening. It's almost bordering obsessive. So character development is lacking but the journey as a whole took up for that. I really preferred this story over the 2nd book.
