I enjoyed how Alexei and Memory interacted, and the way in which Alexi was able to have fire surging in Memory’s eyes and blood. I liked both the main characters, as individuals and as a couple. That being said when it came to Memory and all she had endured/suffered I did feel that the depiction of her behaviour/reactions, after she was liberated from her cage, signified her being a tad too well adjusted. There was just something about the ease in which she adjusted to everything that left me slightly unsatisfied, it left me feeling like a key dimension of the story/character had been forgotten.
I enjoyed the glimpses we got of characters from past books like Lucas, Sascha, their little girl, and Hawke, and can’t wait for books which have some of the kids taking centre stage.
Overall this was a nice read, but I don’t know it didn’t ensnare my attention and leave me sighing in pleasure once I finished. Don’t get me wrong I devoured this read, and enjoyed it, yet I can honestly say whilst I may re-read this book, it’s defo not in my top 5 from the Psy-Changeling/Psy-Changeling Trinity books. Yet still a good read…. Ugh! Am I seesawing a bit with my thoughts? Re-read will be needed at some point.
