Dangerous Deception by Margaret Stohl, Kami Garcia
3.0
3 Stars
There was one glaring issue for me in this book. While it is written in the same style as its predecessor (multiple POV's and flashbacks) rather than the third-person flashbacks we see in book 1, this book had first-person flashbacks. That may not seem like a huge deal to most people, but for me, it took me straight out of the story every time. I don't mind switching point of views as far as characters go, but from third to first to third again is just a giant headache for me.
The plot wasn't as great, this book is basically half the size of every book from the caster chronicles and it doesn't really end with a definitive ending despite the fact the authors have stated they have no desire to continue writing this series.
The thing that made me love the Caster Chronicles and to even want to read this follow up series ws the relationship dynamic between Ridley and Link. And for me, because we only see them on about four pages together throughout this entire book, it just completely fell flat for me.
I didn't hate it, but it just didn't have anything really special about it.
