I couldn’t put it down!!! This series is one of the best I’ve read!
I don’t know if I mentioned that these books tend to end on cliffhangers but they do! I’m totally lost in Kat’s adventure and been sitting on the edge of the seat. The only reason I didn’t fully freak out was because I saw how much was left to read.
This is a fantastic page turner with lots going on and lots of character development. I’ll be lost in this world for a while. Love it.
I think this adventure is good for 15 and older.
I really had to think about this, before writing my review.
Mostly, I feel disappointed. I loved the first book, it’s a book I would re-read where I normally don’t re-read books. I would have given it 6 stars if I’d been able to. This one, I did not, nor would I ever re-read this. I wish I hadn’t read it at all, since it disillusioned me from the first book. I really had to force myself to keep reading in places too. The plot was tediously slow. In some places, down right unbelievable (a few examples of the many, below in the spoilers). The 4 main characters all became annoying. No idea why they were staying together, cause I saw no reason to be friends with each other or for that matter, loyal to Katerina. The whole writing style seemed different from the first book to me, I can’t really explain why. The whole book was full of editing/proof reading errors too for a published work. Quite a few places I had to stop & try to interpret the meaning of a sentence or even a paragraph due to the mistakes. I’m not sure I will continue on with the series at this point.
SPOILERS!
How can Tanya be walking, climbing, descending a cliff in rock climbing type techniques, on a broken leg with only a belt wrapped around it for support? How can Katerina know how to insert a knife between the ribs on Cassiel (after having seen it just one time from a distance when she was younger on a hunting party) solve breathing issues from a punctured lung by his broken ribs? Medically speaking, no way could any of them be able to trek such distances with the injuries they were supposed to have. There are no explanations to so many things (besides the medical side), going down in this book, & a reader is supposed to just accept these things. I realize this is fantasy but without adding a bit of realism to the mix or some how miraculously heal, or giving an explanation, or something, it does not sound plausible, & stuff like that pulls me out of a story, because I can’t focus on anything but the Unbelievable thing that happened…
Everlasting*, the four of them become friends as they try to get Katerina somewhere safe. Yet, it seems like something or someone is making their journey difficult. The adventures keep escalating in danger. If that’s not enough, Katerina is developing feelings for a friend. Does he share these feelings, or is this just a young woman with her first crush?
What I love about this series is WJ May’s writing style. She creates a world so vivid it just sucked me in. Literally, I stayed up all night reading! I picture the setting to look like Narnia with all the beautiful scenery and rough terrian.
The characters are lovable, and I really feel for Katerina with fleeing the castle and discovering magic. I can’t decide which character is the my favorite. While Katerina is the sheltered princess, she is not whiny or demanding. She grows to resilient yet still keeps her heart of gold. The ranger, Dylan, is resourceful, protective, and I might have a crush on him. Tonya is the shape shifter, and she is independent and cheeky. The fae, Cass, is reserved. In *Eternal*, the author finally gets him to open up a little. She leaves just enough mystery that I am looking forward to the third book!
Love the vampire aspect of this tale… love Arthurian tales
