Customer Reviews
Minimal plot development
I really enjoyed the first few books in this series, so I bought this one the day it came out. Unfortunately, I think the author is trying to stretch out the series.
Nearly nothing happens for the first half of the book. In the second half, the characters who were travelling towards Ilara get to Ilara, and then we are left to read the next book to see if anything happens in Ilara now that they are there.
Perhaps because the plot spins its wheels, the characters have become increasingly unlikable and helpless. Adrial was previously one of my favourite characters, but he is so blah in this book. Ena is flat and not the rich interesting character she was in previous books. Allora’s storyline was disturbing and she comes across a helpless to do anything. Niko and Kai both come across as bumbling, and Mara makes bad decisions that don’t fit her character.
Unfortunately, if you’ve enjoyed this series so far, I recommend stopping and not reading this book. It really takes away from the series.
