I really wanted to love this book. The premise seemed right up my alley since I love reading about history, time traveling, past lives and I had enjoyed the previous two books from the series. Instead, I ended up just liking it.
The plot felt rushed, incredibly rushed, and at the same time there were some past lives that seemed to be just fillers. Luce learned nothing from some of her time travels and neither did I. It looked as if the author just wanted to have some time periods in the book just because she liked the clothes or the palaces or whatever.
The bad guy... I saw it coming from miles away. The moment he showed up I knew who that would turn out to be. There's a difference between foreshadowing and point blank shooting a plot point at your readers. I don't enjoy the latter method too much. It makes me think the author thinks I'm stupid.
Luce got on my nerves more often than not. For someone who's supposed to be the incarnation that will finally make a change, she makes some really annoyingly repetitive choices.
As for what I liked: the love story is incredibly powerful and it was nice to see some of the highlights of Luce's and Daniel's eternal love. The cliffhanger was cleverly crafted. Will they really all side together or will someone defect?
All in all, it's an entertaining read. I didn't put it down until I finished it but I also found myself rolling my eyes quite often and that's not such a good thing for my eye's health, I suppose.
