I savoured
every word of this story, not wanting to miss a thing! There was a lot here
as Nastasia and Vik worked through their past, their present, to see if they
had a future. Together for years, with one hiccup, since their teens, these
two are apart now. The story unfolds as we get glimpses of their early years
as a couple then bringing us to their confusing and broken current. It is a
dissection of a relationship that should have been so good but fell apart. Not
by any one thing, but by so many little things. The love is still there, the attraction
is still there, the pull to be together is still there, but these things that
caused the cracks, and finally the implosion, still need to be dealt with.
Every moment that brings warmth and love is intruded on by those doubts and
fears. And all is
not well in their outer world either. I had read Lev years ago, and other
than remembering I loved it to bits, really didn’t remember a whole lot. That
didn’t play into anything here, as each character holds their own, and you
don’t need to remember the then to be drawn to them now. We get moments and
POV’s from these characters, sprinkled into the story as needed. Their
stories impact our current couple, as well as give insight into where some
future stories lie. Vik and
Nastasia’s story really is exposed as the book goes on. As the reader, you
know as much as they do about the other, about the world they are living in,
and get that information as they do. What that does is has you feeling right
along with each character, and you hold all their fears, worries, concerns,
love, sadness, and passion with them. I was totally engrossed with the
characters, and the epilogue had me sobbing in the happiest of tears <3 |
