My Review: |  |  |  |
You know what? I'm choosing to be done with this series for now. As interesting as the world the author created is, I can't stand the heroine and the should-they-shouldn't-they thing she has with Asher.
If only the heroine, Eve, used a brain cell or two and had a backbone this would be an incredible series! She's impulsive and puts plans into action without considering the consequences. There's the whole love-kinda-triangle she has with Gage and Asher that's a thing I dislike. She's also very whiny and as much as she trains she still pretty pathetic when an actual fight is concerned.
Asher is still on his hot and cold train. It's gotten old and stale at this point. The worse part is that it's never been explained why he and Eve can't be together. It's only ever said that they can't but (as far as I remember, please correct me if I'm wrong and missed something with all my eye-rolling) no one ever comes right out and explains why that's a thing that can't happen and that's the most frustrating part about it for me. It becomes even weirder when secondary characters in the story incentivize them being together all the while knowing they're prohibited from making it a thing.
This whole book was one big will-they-won't they between Eve and Asher. It felt like a filler and a slow-moving one at that. If the ending had been what Eve was thinking about because of her dream/premonition/magical-powers it would have made the stakes way higher. Thus making one heck of an ending!
Overall, I don't want to put myself through the rest of this series at the moment. It's not necessarily that bad (because the universe the author built is pretty cool), I just don't want to have to deal with whiny spineless characters in the books I read.
I enjoyed Jorjeana Marie's narration a lot! She has a very calming voice and it made this book fly by! She has a nice range of male and female tones and accents. From the reviews I've read on books narrated by her, you'll either love her voice or you'll hate it, so listen to the sample before doing anything.
