Rating: 3.75/5 stars

I really liked this story and I am a bit surprised at that.
You may be asking, "Why are you surprised?" My answer, "I am surprised because I did not like Morrigan's Cross (Circle Trilogy, book 1) that much.
Honestly, I did not expect to like Dance of the Gods, period.
I thought I would drag myself through the book.

You now may be asking, "Why read this book at all if you thought you would have to drag yourself through the read?".
My answer, "I decided to read Dance of the Gods because my friend, Shari, told me that the series does get better. Besides, she said Cian is her favorite Vampire. Well, if not for anything else, I need to read these books just to find out about Cian ."
Yes, my friends,my dear readers, that is the only reason why I decided to go forth with the series because I tell ya, Morrigan's Cross did not give me the desire to read forth.

"Tell us Deanna, What did you like about this book?"
My answer, "Characters, characters! If I was not convinced before, I most certainly am now! I am a character driven reader. Yes, of course, the plot is important. However, for me, if the characters are not endearing, are not calling to me, are not well developed then I do not care about the plot. For me, if I do not feel some sort of pull towards a character, if I do not see some depth in a few of the characters then the story is doomed.

Dance with the Gods delivered in character development. With Morrigan's Cross, I did not connect with the main characters and only felt a slight pull towards the others.

Dance with the Gods did a good job building up to the show down which will occur in the next book, Valley of Silence. I am so looking forward to reading Valley of Silence not only for the action but also for the characters. Mostly though, with honesty, I want to read Valley of Silence because of Cian! Yep, I want to read more of him...like I said, he is alluring.

Dance with the Gods was very satisfying!
I truly enjoyed this read.
