Breath of Life by Jocelynn Drake
5.0
Ok book 2 kicked up the action a few notches! Our lovely heroes are on the run and trying to find allies in a different country. They don't know who to trust or why their home was attacked. They find out new and shocking information from the Queen of the country they escaped to.
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. We get to learn more about the Godstones and how they came to be. We are introduced to the Emperor and learn what his actual plans are and we get to watch our boys grow even closer to each.
Cael, is learning how to use his new powers, coming to terms with his feelings for Drayce and how to be a King. It's all alot for a 23 yr old, but he handles it pretty well. I was shocked with how very human he was. He is flawed and lets his emotions get the best of him sometimes, but that is was makes him such a believable and lovable character.
Drayce got the shock at the end of book 1, but not a bad one. We get to see him grow more as a bodyguard the more fights they are involved in. But, Drayce also keeps his positive and carefree attitude, which Cael appreciates. We do get a glimpse of him losing faith, and it was hard as Drayce is such a sweet guy.
Rayne is freaking brilliant. The way his mind works and how he is able to see several steps ahead is such a thrill. But my favorite scenes with him are when he is vulnerable. The times when he lets his walls down and shows us that he isn't this robot advisor is great. We do get one scene where he looses his temper and explodes and it is epic!
Eno is a sweet beast. He tries so hard to keep everyone safe and cared for. Seeing him act possessive was so fun. He knows he's not as smart as Cael & Rayne when it comes to political strategy, but he is ok with that. He plays to his strengths. I was disappointed in him when he tried to make a big decision for Rayne without consulting him, but I understood where he was coming from
All in all this vol was really great. We get learn more about our enemies and the Gods/Goddesses. I can't wait for the next vol.
