It's great to get everyone's view on the story and what's happening. (0 more)

I wasn't sure on the book at first but I got into it after a couple of chapters. It's one of those books where you want to tell the character what is really going on as they can't see it/are blind to it. You need to keep reading as you can't wait to see what happens. There are surprises in store especially at the end. All the pieces finally fit together to reveal the full picture.

should have been told about books before this one!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

When I started this book, I was thinking I'm missing something, something important, and that feeling stayed with me right the way through, and to be honest, I nearly dumped it a couple of times. I'm still not sure what kept me reading, but I did and that feeling led me to look at the author's other books.

And there is folks! What I've been missing is a whole THREE books set before this one, revolving around these main characters! Why was I not told this, when asked to read this one?? I don't know, but I'm annoyed, because whatever happened in those three books has a HUGE impact in this one, and my reading enjoyment suffered, greatly.

Oh, don't get me wrong, the book is well written, from all the major players points of view. It's neither graphic nor explicit, it moves at a fair and even pace. I saw no spelling or editing errors.

There is a much bigger picture that I'm not seeing going on. Whether that is because I didn't read the previous books, I don't know. It might just not have been laid out fully yet and all will become clear in the next books.

But for me, I can't get past not knowing about the other books that I SHOULD have read first. So if you come across this review, please PLEASE go back and read The Fourth Element trilogy before you read this one. You WILL need it.

Will I read future books in the series?? Probably not.

Because I DID finish it, and because everyone who needs to has a say...
