Summary:
Told in two different perspectives, this book begins with Avery and Kerrick splitting to take care of their own special parts in the war for the territories. Avery tells her story as she travels to Estrid's army, disguises herself, and begins training fighters. Kerrick tells his story as he heads up north to Ryne. Unfortunately, Kerrick ends up in a battle of his own with the tribal people. Battles eventually break out and things don't end up quite as planned (of course). Total surprise ending that leaves us breathless for the next installment of the series. The trip is well worth taking.
My thoughts:
Well, these spilled out a little in the summary. I've loved Snyder since Valek. He is my ultimate favorite male character of all time. It's very hard to find a character that I think comes even close to him. Hello, hot assassin that also is protective and sweet and yummy! Anyways, Kerrick doesn't hold a candle to him, but I love Kerrick anyways. Snyder has a way with developing characters. I like Avery. She's strong, coming into her own, stubborn, and independent. The women that Snyder portrays have this spark about them, but the men far outshine the women. Kerrick is easy to fall in love with in the first book, so getting his perspective in this one is a lot of fun. I'm rushing through Avery's chapters to get back to his voice.
The romance is put on hold through most of this book because they are both doing other things, but I think it makes each character stand out as an individual instead of a couple. Also, I'm so happy that Avery is not a whiny brat when Kerrick isn't around. I dislike romance novels where the female is so attached to the male that all individuality and life stops because they are not there. Snyder is so good at not letting her characters go off the deep end when they are in love. Each female has goals that they are going to reach with or without the hottie!
Anyways, this is a slight dip in the series because there is a lot of set up for the war; however, the end will lead us right into a much anticipate conclusion to her trilogy. I just can't wait!
