4.0

Another amazing addition to The League series. This one changed things up a bit, and I really enjoyed it, but #1 and Nykyrian are still my favourite.
A long time has passed since [b:Born of Fire|3246224|Born of Fire (The League, #2)|Sherrilyn Kenyon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1417658098s/3246224.jpg|3280979], and this book features Syn and Sharaha's son, Devyn. This had just as much adventure, danger, and action as the previous two installments, but a little less personal drama, which is much appreciated. Devyn and Alix never had a big falling out. I really loved the family that Devyn had, especially Omari. And I was soooo happy to see Paden reconcile with Syn. That was like the best thing ever!
It was more 'feel-good' compared the the first two books. It was also different because, unlike the first two, the hero was not the one who needed to be convinced he deserved love, it was the heroine. Alix was a slave that was extremely mistreated her whole life and thought that she was trash and worthless. Devyn promptly taught her otherwise. :P Devyn was pretty sweet and bad-ass, but not as brooding and tortured as his father. I still prefer his father...and his son. Is that weird?
I was a bit confused at times about the timeline though. Its weird to skip so many years and meet the children of couples that we dont see get together until later in the series. It seems they are not numbered in chronological order. I suppose it may help to read this immediately after reading about Devyn's parents meeting. But then the series goes back to focusing on Nykyrian and Syn's fellow Sentella members. Not that I am complaining, because I was really looking forward to getting to know them better. But now, I really wanna see more of Omari.
