At the beginning of this I can't say that I saw much of a blooming relationship between Mal and Alina. They'd been friends for years and though Alina liked him romantically, Mal didn't seem to feel the same way.`
That's probably why when the Darkling started to show interest in her that I jumped on ship with it and waited for something to happen. Only when something did, I wasn't entirely convinced by it.
As for the rest of the plot with the Unsea, I found myself getting more into it the closer we got to the end of the book as deception and intrigue came about.
I definitely think it has left me intrigued enough about the outcome of the events following the ending, that I will continue the series at some point.

Black lion’s Bride ( Warrior trilogy book 2)
By Lara Adrian
As deadly as she is beautiful, Zahirah, daughter of the King of the Assassins, steals into the camp of the English army. She intends to murder King Richard, but her plan only delivers her into the hands of the enemy and puts her at the mercy of the dashing Black Lion, Sebastian of Montborne. Seeing only a mysterious beauty in need of his protection, Sebastian is unaware that Zahirah is the enemy he has sworn to destroy. Caught in a web of passion and deception, they now risk their lives to share a forbidden love.
I’m a sucker for historical romances and loved the first book in this series. I also enjoyed this one although I did find it a bit harder to fall into Sebastian is amazing it took me a little longer to like Zahirah! Overall it was a good read and would recommend

An under the gun reporter penning her final article prior to her termination taking effect opens the eyes of seemingly the world when she manufactures a character (John Doe) who isn't afraid to express his true thoughts and put his life on the line (pun intended?) to hold them. The newspaper goes along, and even encourages, the deception once the article is widely recognized by the public and they see a gold mine in readership.
Many begin to relate to the thoughts displayed in the recurring articles to the point that the author begins to actually alter her own perception of reality.
Please do yourself a favor and watch this film. Commit to it.
