Blurb:
The winds of fate are shifting, and it finally seems like they’ve been twisted in our favour.
On the run and cast out from society, we’ve been forced to hide from the mad man who stole our throne. But as more secrets come to light and my sister and I work harder than ever before to reach our potential and claim our birth right, the end is finally drawing closer.
There is no turning from this path now. The curse chases on our heels as time rushes by and the blood drenched destiny of the man I love looms ever closer just like the monster who stole our throne.
We must prepare for the final battle, but three things are clear now.
The cards have already been dealt.
Blood will spill for a new future to rise.
And the stars themselves can’t help us.
The fight for the throne is upon us. All hail the heartless sky.
Review:
The more I read this book I am convinced that this series is just Harry Potter except with Astrology and elemental magic. I am not kidding at all about this. I mean, we have the BURROW. You know the same place that the WEASLEY'S live in. The exception is the home belongs to
I cannot for the life of me remember the writer of nasty newspaper articles but nevertheless, we have Rita Skeeter.
With that out of the way, it is time to turn toward the review of this book. I don't even know where exactly to begin with this review. There were some parts that I really enjoyed in this book but at the same time, the entire book seemed slow, repetitive, and flat. And the climax to each book's ending is just meh. It is never exciting and never has a built-up. I am surmising because of all of the damn soap opera going on between all of the characters. Enemies to Lovers. Miscommunications in relationships. Characters coming between the romance. All this and everything in between.
All of these are soap opera tropes. Trust me, I used to watch a lot of soap operas growing up because of my Mom.
Even the romance between Darius and Tory feels soap operay. You cannot change my mind on this. They were enemies. Hated each other with a fiery passion. And became lovers only to be torn apart AGAIN.
I wish this story was exciting. I had heard so much praise for this series and I know I should stop listening to them because I have come across nothing but misses. I know I have one last book for now but I don't know if I am going to finish the next book. I just will have to see if it is going to be worth it.
