When I heard part five was being released I was excited, because I loved this series. I was sceptical to see where it would go, because it was so long ago since I finished part four. However, it did take me a few chapters to get into this story, but, once I hit the half way mark I was hooked in. I definitely preferred the story when Robert was back to his roots, fighting for his family, working out things in his head. Now, that bloody ending…I didn’t know whether to jump into my kindle and grieve with the characters, or throw the kindle off the wall. Tracie certainly put a spanner in the works with this book, and I can’t see it ending here. It can’t end here. Hint hint.
Wow! What a rollercoaster ride this one was. A gripping plot that draws you in and leaves you feeling every possible emotion. Without a doubt I would recommend this book to anyone.
Favorite Quote:
Salvatore was not the most attractive man; in fact, he was what we would have said back in the village, a man who should have been drowned at birth. Short, fat, and sweaty…
My Review:
This was not a stand-alone volume and although I had read and enjoyed all previous books of this series, I struggled with and battled my way through this melancholic and gritty installment. But holy bloodbath Batman, it was just not my cup of tea… The narrative was well beyond my comfort zone for carnage and I was heartbroken by the callous indifference and brutality displayed by several of the main characters. And there were far too many assholes! The overall tone of the story heavily tipped the scale to the negative range of emotion with a near constant thrum of tension and angst, as well as anger, resentment, and copious servings of sorrow.
I will take personal responsibility for a major part of my discontent being due to my own faulty memory. It would have made a significant difference and been much easier to follow and remain engaged had I recently read or reread the previous books to refresh my recall of past events, as I had forgotten far too many salient details and story points. My limited pea brain did not retain several chunks of the data stream required to fully grasp the continuing tale, important information and critical details that unfortunately were not recapped. The storylines were intriguing yet complicated and at times I was quite frustrated and nearing the point of itchy exasperation, much as I would if attending an advanced physics course where the concepts being discussed resided in a stratosphere far and above my level of comprehension, yet Ms. Podger’s word voodoo held me hostage and I couldn’t stop reading. If I had a magic wand or Hermione’s Time-Turner, I would go back and start the beloved series from the beginning and skip over the disturbingly brutal images, which I’m sure would be a vastly more enjoyable experience. Lesson learned.
We finally get to hear Rocco’s story and how he and Robert come to their newfound relationship. Loved this installment of the this series
