5 stars
This book
had a great slow build, revealing little bits and pieces as the story
unfolded. Then, wham, it all started to unravel, come apart, come together, and
my pulse picked up and I couldn’t read the pages fast enough. Dark, gritty,
painful, and full of despair, there was very little light in this story. But
it was compelling, and the characters, they held on, they stood up, and they
paid for those actions. They didn’t give up though, because that was not an
option for them, the consequences of giving up too severe. That makes the
endings, the relief they feel, all the sweeter for them when it happens. Of
course, we get our obligatory Van moment in the book, because what would a
book in this series be without him? Loved Luke to death, loved Vera even
more, and can’t wait for Tomas! |
