review 1: Jon doesn't hold back here in this third book. He starts with a fight scene 13 pages in and a death less than that. Awesome. We find ourselves on a journey with three different POV's; Caim, Josey, and Balaam. Caim and Josey are both familiar to use and we have followed them for a time now. Balaam is new and follows suit with a shadow character's POV we get. Last book was Sybelle, this time with Balaam. All three go looking for one thing, and seem to find what they need instead.****FULL REVIEW TO COME****
review 2: I thought this book was pretty good, but it fell apart for me at the end, mostly due to how the love triangle was handled. I admit I was more pro Caim/Josey than Caim/Kit, in part because the Kit relationship felt very forced to me. I was really looki... moreng forward to Caim and Josey's reunion, and when it happens, it's like two strangers are having a quick sip of tea and that's it. Josey's pregnancy, a major plot catalyst and catalyst for Caim's character, is merely stashed under the rug--Caim never learns of it, and even Josey's new love interest is kept in the dark. It felt like a broken promise to me.The ending battle isn't nearly as big as the first two books made me think it would be, and there weren't many secrets to unveil. The way Caim defeats the last "boss" didn't quite make sense to me, either. His powers lie with the shadows, but he certainly didn't use the power of shadows in that last battle. I wanted more of that, and I needed the book to be a few pages longer if only to figure out where this ex-assassin would end up next. And while I'm not a huge Kit fan, some of her POV felt a little rushed.Regardless, I plan to read Sprunk's next book. less
