lenoreo 's review for:
Night Unbound
by Dianne Duvall
4.5 stars -- I received a copy of this ebook through netgalley (and promptly missed it's release and so this is very late...) But I'm epically glad that I had a chance to read/reread all of the previous books beforehand to really get into the ZONE. The author does do a wee bit of recap in the books, so it's conceivable that you could just jump in, but I would call you crazy if you did it.
The build up for Zach and Lisette's book was epic, and frankly I'm surprised that it lived up to my lofty expectations...because that can be hard to do. But I really loved the uniqueness of how their relationship developed, and of course what Zach being one of the Others brought to the table. Still a lot of mystery there, though we were thrown the occasional bone here and there. I'm sincerely hoping that we (as the readers) do eventually find out more about them and about the genesis of the Immortal Guardians, because I really really want to know, and I'll be highly disappointed if we're not given something for being good little reading soldiers.
As always, in the end it's the overarching plot and the whole entire cast of characters that really make this series stand out above the rest. When you get a book, you get a love story for a pair of characters, but you always get little glimpses of the other characters here and there, even moments in their POVs, and I really LOVE that because I hate letting go of characters that I love. Because of the nature of Zach, we got a bit more of Seth in this one and that was AWESOME, if not heartbreaking.
While the "big bad" does shift from book to book, the climax with the bad guys tends to be a bit repetitive, and so I'm hoping with the revelations at the end that there will be a bit more variety in the next one. You know, less of the previous books scenes just ++'d. *fingers crossed*
So basically, despite the repetitiveness of some of the plot points, I'm still thoroughly enjoying myself. This one will be hard to top, b/c frankly I was fascinated with Zach from the previous books already. We shall see....
