I am just in one of those states! This gripping tale has run my emotions everywhere. Why should you read this book? Other than the obvious amazing characters and pristine storytelling, you will finish this book in a state of shock and awe. The switching POVs really does help build even more layers as well as make a reader yearn for spinoffs. This is an easy recommend for me. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
I absolutely adored this book by Frost Kay, she left me wanting more and now I have to wait until next year! I honestly hate cliff hangers always but…. You can always look forward to the next book so that isn’t as bad as you think! I honestly am in love with all the characters in this book, the new ones introduced as the same ones that we knew but got to know a little farther this time around. I like that her books don’t only revolve around Tehl and Sage only, that you also get to see his brother and his story with Jasmine. I ADORED Sam and Jasmine and I was so freaking sad to see what happened towards the end of the book… but I have so much hope for the next one to come. I am looking to see something epic happen!
This is a very dark fantasy book with a few (just a few) light moments interspersed here and there. Very well written. I had to put it down from time to time just to catch a breath and hold my stomach to recoup. One moment in particular was when Sage found the little girl who had died in the tunnel. I thought of my grandchildren and how I would feel if anything happened to any one of them. I think I would feel just as Sage felt. I must say that Ms Frost Kay really knows how to vividly paint a world and characters that really touch the emotions. On the lighter side, we get to see the tender side of Sam, one that is a daddy and husband. It was one of those happy moments that made me smile. I loved the King’s heartfelt care of the twins. It was so gratifying I couldn’t help but be touched by that moment. Of course all these actions led to the big battle between the Aermians and Scythians. I became so engrossed by it I found myself madly rocking in my chair. Ms Kay describes the battle so vividly. I was saddened by the loss of those that were dear to Sage and Tehl. Now we have to wait. Wait until the spring of 2020??? That’s so far away! I will definitely be agonizing until I get my hands on that book!
The Aermian Feuds by Frost Kay is one of the few Dark Fantasy series that I’m willing to read. I’m completely invested in the characters. In Spy’s Mask, the author manages to keep my attention from one character’s POV to another without impeding the flow of the story. A couple of new characters also get introduced. Spy’s Mask is an exciting story with a good dose of romance. It’s certainly a page turner and very intense! The ending will leave you hanging. I can’t wait for Book 6!
I received an ARC. This is my honest and voluntary review.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I recommend reading all the books in The Aermian Feuds books in order, so you don’t miss a step in the growth of these characters. If you enjoy reading fantasy novels with plenty of action, a cast of interesting characters and a few twists and turns, you’ll enjoy reading this book. There is one more book coming in this series, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Spy’s Mask is book five in Frost Kay’s Aermian Feuds series and this book hits the ground running. The Warlord is wreaking havoc wherever he goes. He is intent on claiming what it is that he wants and he doesn’t care what it takes. He has his sights set on Sage and that brings danger to all who surround her. Can they manage to outwit him and bring him down so that they can restore peace to their ravaged lands? Or will he be what breaks them in the end?
I have to admit that when I first started reading this book I was hooked! I loved the addition of new characters and how the author gives us more points of views with different characters. The Warlord was truly eye-opening and bizarre at times. He’s an interesting character but twisted at the same time. I liked it! LOL! I loved that the author takes us to a darker place as well with other characters. We’ve seen the ones who live in the cities, on the outskirts, and even in other kingdoms, but none that lived in truly dark and desolate places of were drawing any attention is a true danger. This more than anything kept me page-turning as I wanted to know the fate of those characters and how they would survive their struggle.
There isn’t much that I didn’t like about this book. I liked the secrets and revelations that came to light. I loved seeing the continued developments of the characters as well. Tehl is disappointed in a certain individual when the truth comes to light, but he allows Sage to have her say. Leaps and bounds in growth and development! I love it!
I am rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The characters kept me hooked, and I liked how the author kept me engaged throughout.
Spy’s Mask is an amazing addition to The Aermian Feuds Series! It was dark and intense. I absolutely love the characters each in their own way! I would highly recommend this series!
Wow… I’m not even sure where to begin. This is one of the best books I’ve read this year and it was literally everything I could’ve hoped for!!
I’m still reeling, so I’ll update my review as I can pin down specifics, but for now just know that this book is worth it.
Do yourself a favor and read it now.
When this book opens, things are not looking good for Sage, Tehl and the Aermian army as they sit on the border waiting to see what the Scythian Warlord is going to do next in his quest to regain Sage. Sam is managing his spies and settling into married life with a wife who is not entirely sure she trusts him or wants to trust him. I love the interactions between Sam and Jasmine because they are both unsure of each other and how to react to the other. They both have feelings for each other that they do not understand and that makes it more interesting. The other interesting part of this book are the scenes that happen behind the Scythian lines. Things are not all that they seem in that country and the Warlord might find himself fighting a war on two fronts. Things are coming to a head in the war between Aermia and the Scythians.
