The Taker Trilogy

review 1: The Reckoning is definitely my favorite book in the trilogy. I found it to be a thrilling and emotional page turner, both beautiful and disturbing. This is by far my favorite Katsu novel, and even if the first and third books in the Taker Trilogy weren't quite as good in my opinion, The Reckoning made the series one of my favorites. Katsu really complicates and deepens the story, psychologically drawing the reader in a way I didn't quite feel in The Taker. I couldn't put it down!
review 2: Good lord all these characters are vile. I'm trying to figure out what the author is trying to say about love here and the best I can gather is that the emotion is not the sole territory of good people; that perhaps even the vilest of humanity can be capable of love despite b... moreeing utterly undeserving of it. And towards the end, I almost believe Adair capable of the sacrifices love might require of him. But I am never convinced by Lanore. Her affections still strike me as shallow and ultimately meaningless. She is the best of the characters but being the best of the worst is no prize. She never intends or actively attempts to do wrong, it is her utter passivity and acceptance of wrongs done to herself and others that makes her weak and unsympathetic. She has no fire for living, just a talent for survival. less
