Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Burn for Me (Hidden Legacy, #1) in Books

Jan 7, 2021

First thing I have to say is the cover really put me off. I expected it to be some sort of paranormal romance, when currently I'm into my Urban Fantasy Romance's, where the romance part doesn't take up most of the story and happens as a sort of product of them being thrown together to fight whatever evil they have to face together. Well, this was more of an Urban Fantasy Romance, thank God.

The world building was very interesting and the Prime's of this world; terrifying. It was like they were missing some integral part of their psyche where they fought killing people who annoyed them was acceptable. But Mad Rogan had some redeemable qualities in the end and I grew to really like him.

I cannot wait to see what happens next with these two.

The type of film I always find interesting. A pious man stands alone against his community. The community can get better, but the ethical cost is too high. People give up their principles if it means a better life many times. In Nafi's Father, the religious leader stands against his brother who is backed by a questionable sheikh. How the sheikh accumulated his wealth is insinuated and what it means to accept his assistance is harrowing. Nafi's father does not even have a name in the film. He is referred to as Tierno because no one has used his actual name since he became the village spiritual leader. Names are very important as brother Ousmane always adds a title to his name. Very similar to gangster films of America, the community is forced to protect itself against outside evil.

KOA was a long, action-packed, unforgettable ending to a lengthy, yet beautiful, series of good versus evil, spiritual and emotional growth, loss and love and healing. I shed tears, I cursed, I smiled. It was a conclusion I was honestly too afraid to hope for and yet it was surrounded by so many unexpected moments. I put off reading this for so long, because the ending is so final and I knew I'd feel the loss deep inside - which I do. Regardless of the opportunity to always start the series over, this is truly goodbye. Sarah wrapped everything up beautifully. I am in awe of the depth of her writing and the intricacies each individual perspective beheld for the entirety of the story. I will not sin forget Aelin, Rowan, or their friends. Well done, Sarah.
