After finishing the book, I felt ready and excited to the read the second book immediately!
The beginning of the book was a little how for me to get engaged with, but that’s how it’s been for a couple of months now, so I won’t hold it against the author, but about 33% of the way through I really got into the story and was at the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next.
I always enjoy Tricia Levenseller’s writing style, it is a well written and easy for me to enjoy while also getting me really immersed into the world of the book.
I love everyone in the group. Ziva is my favorite and I deeply relate to her, as someone with severe anxiety I felt that Ziva was a great representation of what is like with anxiety. Kellyn is such a cutie pie, I like that he is a sweet and caring mercenary it is a good change from the stereotype of the dark and brooding personality that is often paired with the profession. Temra, Ziva’s sister is a good contrast to Ziva and her more reserved and cautious personality being more outgoing and less wary of people and situations. I loved that their flaws and strengths were closely related which how real life strengths and weaknesses works. And finally Petrik I don’t have a true opinion on him I won’t lie. I found his scenes and interactions with the rest of the characters quite boring but he was mysterious and I was always trying to guess his true intentions of joining the group on their journey and I was not disappointed when it was revealed.
I would definitely reread, I will probably reread when I’m not in this weird phase of slowly reading books right now. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
