deadliest of truths.
Review:
I was given the
opportunity to read this book early. Thank you!
I have to say The
Collector’s Society was such an original book that I was really happy that it
was getting a sequel. With that being said; I absolutely loved this book. It
continued with its original feel and I was so happy with that. With this book,
unlike the first one, it’s told from Alice and Finn’s point of view. I thought
this was great because we were able to really get a feel of his emotions this
way. The two of them seem to fit together so well. They have such a crazy connection
and this allows them to work and trust each other immensely.
As with the first
one, they are still put their lives on the line to save different stories and
realms. This brings so much action into the storyline. You can never tell what
is going to happen next. They are put into danger on multiple accounts and the
always have the others back. When Finn’s past starts to come into his present,
things starts to get crazy and before we know it, Alice is in big danger and no
one knows what to do.
Characters from
the first book make their way into this story and new ones emerge too. The
steamy scenes between our favorite two got much better than the first one and I
was very grateful for that. Their relationship grows so much. They tell each
other things that others might now know.
We see Jace again
which I loved because he was such an awesome character from the first book and
we also meet tons of new ones. My favorite fairy tale, Peter Pan, begins to
play a major part in the story, whether it’s good or bad, you’ll have to read
to find out! There were many different twists and turns and made the
anticipation of what or where the characters were going to end up next even
more gratifying. The ending was such a whirlwind of emotions, suspense, and
action that I couldn’t read it fast enough.
Overall, I thought that for a sequel this was done very well. I was so happy with the turn around and how everything played out. The way that Lyons' continues to weave these stories together is amazing. This isn't a new genre for me, but I haven't read anything like this is a while and it's such a breath of fresh air. You have to pay close attention the detail because something you may have disregarded could actually mean more than you think. I'm looking forward to the next book. I can't wait to see how Lyon's spins the rest of the story. I will be eagerly waiting for the next addition to this wonderful tale.
