the cheesy british sounding attempt, but an excellent and interesting story, in spite of that, Sorry to be a killjoy but my star ratings started off high in the beginning and over time to my disappointment they've been getting lower and lower, even though this book series has potential, it just sucks to see the later books not live up to the promise of the start of the series.
Spoilers below:
Overall, this book didn't add anything to the overall story at all, felt more like another filler which is a shame as I expected more coming from Hunter's POV and I was left sorely disappointed.
So only a dismalstar rating for this book Love seeing Hunters PoV and his journey with his dad! Hes so reserved, we often dont get much of what hes thinking so this was perfect.
Octoberreread, paperback.
I first read this series twenty ! years ago and when I saw most of the series available at a library booksale, I snatched it up for a reread.
I have been very conscientious the last few years in what media I consume, putting an emphasis on "whatever is good" Phil:and I can say that the magick in these books is so over the top they reach Harry Potter like levels of fantasy.
The compulsion to keep reading comes from the interpersonal drama and slowly revealed backstory of the main character, That being said, pick these up with a healthy dose of discernment, They remind me of a WB teen drama have I sufficiently dated myself yet and one can't tear through them fast enough.
I think booksare the strongest, with a satisfying arc that resembles the first season of a TV show, Aroundthe magick goes way beyond plausibility,is where the narrative begins to lose steam, andare titles narrated by other characters that takes away from the story's focus.
The introduction of Alisa as a 'spinoff' main character infeels pointless when she's given a storyline almost identical to Morgan's,
Did not care for all of the will they/won't they sexy business in this one it felt unnecessarily scintillating in what had been a relatively PGseries.
I love Morgan. She is my soul mate, But I must find my parents,
Now I have information, There are leads that seem promising, I feel myself getting closer,
But am I strong enough for what I might find So this book is in Hunter's point of view with Morgan's book of shadows entries.
I have to admit that I like Hunter's point of view better, but it makes no sense to switch point of view in the middle of a series.
. What's wrong with Tiernan Isn't bad enough the series sucks as it is, and now she goes and switches the point of view I guess she realized that Morgan's character is weak and pathetic, and there's no longer a point to write in her point of view.
Hunter is on an adventure to find his father in this book, When he finally sees his father, Daniel Niall is a despicable sight, I had the same hatred toward him as Hunter did, How can his father be so down because he still has so much to live for, I understand the loss of someone that you may love, but he still has children to think about, Hunter is also put on an assignment to investigate the other book of shadows entries that the audience has read: Justine, She is an interesting character, collecting the true names of things to enhance her knowledge, or so she claims, She uses dark magick to get these names over living creatures, Justine does not believe she is doing anything wrong, and she despises the council because of their rules, She made it her life's work to get these names, and then Hunter surprises her by knowing
her true name, thanks to his father's help.
He tried to make her see the danger, and now he's on her hit list, I wonder how that's going to turn out, especially since the two kissed and felt something for each other, How could Hunter do that to Morgan I mean, we find out through Justine's entries that she spelled him, but still Where's the will to stop this Now Morgan's suspicions about him are true because she scried to find him.
He hadn't done anything wrong when she scried, but after the fact, he kissed Justine, even though he knew how Morgan was feeling.
He's such a hypocrite because he resented the fact that Morgan had feelings for Cal when Hunter was falling for her, What's wrong with these characters I don't understand any of the characters of this book, I can't wait for this series to be over, I was so much happier with this book than the previous one! The tension feels so much more different hearing it in someone else's point of view.
And oh, how I love Hunter,
He seems so much more composed in Morgan's eyes, But then you hear his thought process and he's EVERYWHERE, And hilarious! The first couple scenes where he and Morgan are alone are great, You'd never guess that Hunter is dirty, male gender aside, Who knew he could make a perverted joke and be some awkward, yet passionate in his feelings for Morgan, And the way he chides himself "Good going Niall," among many others, It was awesome.
I'm very impressed with the way the story unfolds, Hunter's disappointing find and new revelations on the Council his complicated relationship with Justine, the grief he feels at the simultaneous loss of what seems like both parents.
I would have liked to hear more about Alwyn or Linden though, Much of Hunter's history is explained in the Book of Shadow entries at the beginning of the series, but I thought I would have heard more insight by being in his head.
