This is Dietrich’s book; while we got to see another side of him in Redeemed in Shadows, it was still just a peek; he was still all closed off and tight-lipped. This book gives us, finally, a view into who he really is.
It picks up RIGHT where Redeemed left off, as in Belinda hasn’t even given birth yet. Eden’s continuity is on-point in this series. (I cannot comment on editing/proofing too much because I read ARCs, but the formatting is gorgeous too, series-wide.)
Love is in the air and I won’t tell you whether Dietrich goes with it or fights it… we get a glimpse at his past and why he’s the way he is and it’s well done. There’s no shortage of action, tragedy, family drama, heat and there’s a bit of violence, all in true Shadow Unit fashion. We see more of Enri and I’m still not clear exactly who’s side he’s on, other than his own, but we get the promise of more on that front and as I’m writing this, I’m itching to dive into ‘The Black Prince’.
Despite being an ARC, it was actually pretty clean. I loved the mythology aspect, it felt real and I often, while reading this series, find myself loving the ‘information’ I’m getting into various deities and other legends.
Really fun read, couldn’t put it down.
4 stars.
