kellsway 's review for:
Thron in Flammen: Roman
by Brian Staveley
The weapon is a shield. The Foe is the friend. What is burned cannot burn again.
Where do I even begin with the sequel to The Emperor's Blade. I don't think I have words to embody the tornado of emotions that swept through me while I read this one. I think that I should make it clear that I did enjoy the this read. I still can't say if I found to to be better than the first as I am still trying to process all that has taken place.
For the most part, I found myself doing this for a great part of my read.
The choices and rationalizations of our leads were STUPID to put it mildly ( esp. Adare) I honestly felt as though I could have strangle her. Her choices kept getting the characters I love most hurt and killed so I have a rising dislike for her character. Kaden seems like he's stuck in a hermit stage and my poor baby Valyn goes through the most suffering. I just can't stop biting my nails because I really do feel like just about anyone could be killed off at this point.
The last twenty percent of the book I was like
Brian Staveley did a fantastic job ( putting aside all my frustrations ) with the story development. I honestly can't tell what to expect from anyone, in this action pack, suspense ridden read. Nothing is as it should be and I've personally taken to reading this book lying down cause it will surely cause you to faint with it's plot twist and revelations.
I already have The last Mortal Bond lined up to read but at this point I'm seriously afraid to start it. I think that I'll send up a silent pray first before even attempting to start it. This trilogy is worth the time peeps but I urge that you take some calming and nerve pills before you even start. The author pulls out all the stops in ensuring that he works your very last nerve ( in both a good and bad way )
Actual Ratings 4.5
