Genre: Fantasy series
The story picks up a year or so after the defeat of Taureen and her followers have scattered. Some are now helping the feather mafia hunt down their own kind. As the bodies pile up, the line between ally and enemy gets further blurred and the choice made will shape the lives of everyone.
This story brought me way beyond my comfort zone. Fantasy is one of my least favourite subjects. So in all honesty I must tell I did not enjoy this story as I should have. I struggled all through trying to keep focus and staying with the story so I can picture the scenes and understand what was going on. My brain couldn’t, it just wandered all the time till I had enough and I wanted to give up more than once.
What I took out of this story, it reads a little like a turf battle with war between different factions with body covered in feathers flying and setting havoc all over. You would say it is not fair to review a book I struggled to finish...maybe. But once started I need to write my thoughts and share my opinion.
The good and the bad:
The ways the author created a cool world of fantasy where Aeriels and humans try to coexist and how she painted action galore to please those with fertile imagination for that sort of thing is more than well-done. There is a lot of vivid dialogue between characters who love to share their feelings and problems with us. This may be overly done for my taste but nicely done just the same. This story packs many characters to keep focus and interest on it is challenging not to mix them up and follow them in their quests.
If you like a fantasy with Aeriels coming from another realm in the sky with beautiful wings waging on earth a century old war, this book is for you. For myself this story left me cold. Definitely fantasies are not for me...
