Embrace the Night by Karen Chance
5.0
So far this is the best book in the series. It seems to me that Karen Chance really became more comfortable writing in this world. Some of the problems with the first book for me was all the time traveling back and forth and not really understanding it. But I think since Cassie herself has gotten more comfortable with it, the readers, by extension are more comfortable as well. Chance does a good job in this book of recapping events from the previous two books. This time all the time traveling didn't confuse me. It was done very well to weave it into the storylines of the previous books. I was impressed that Chance went back to basically the beginning to show us a scene from a different perspective. It makes everything fuller I think.
Ok well I need to talk about, of course, the love interests. There's been a lot of build up since the beginning of the series for Cassie and Mircea. With this book Pritkin is thrown more into the mix. He obviously began the series not being a big fan of Cassie's then last book he declares that he will support her as the new Pythia and train her. His loyalty is put in question a few times in this book, and I was glad to see they were unfounded. I was not as impressed with the furthuring of Cassie and Mircea's relationship. It's been built up so much that I think when it finally happened I didn't really care. Plus there was the fact that it seemed that Cassie was basically forced to it. She may have wanted to but she didn't necessarily want to at the moment. She needed to because of the geis. It will forever make me question her true feelings for him.
This series has continually gotten better with each book. I can't wait to continue the series then move on to the Dorina series. Until Then!
