review 1: Just finished, and I'm practically speechless. This segment is indescribably fantastic, and deserves more than a perfect 5 out of 5 for the rating. How does Meljean write such a fabulous and mindblowing story?!Favorite quotes:That amazing, terrible smile had widened to a grin. “My grip isn’t the only reason I’m called the Kraken.” Of course. Any man would say that. She raised both hands, palm to palm, and wiggled her fingers like tentacles. “So it’s like this?” A shout of laughter shot from him. Swiftly catching her fingers, he clasped them to his chest to stop their waving, and she felt the shudder that ran through him as he contained his laugh. Still, a few more seconds passed before he said, “Exactly like that.”“Because you have a light in your face... more and a fire in your eyes, and the first time I looked into them, I knew it would be you. The woman I would want forever. The woman I need at my side. The woman I would love.”Any soldier who couldn’t look another in the eye didn’t truly believe in what they were fighting for.Ariq hadn’t known a man could survive so much pride and pain at once. Though she had no reason to care anything about his people, his wife would sacrifice herself to stop Ghazan Bator from claiming the machine. His wife thought that he would sacrifice her.“You are my queen,” he told her, and clasped her hand to his overfilled heart. Though emotion roughened his voice, he spoke quietly. This was only for her. “I am your sword and your shield. I am your wolf and your steed. Mountains will tremble at my approach, for they know I will tear them apart if ever they stand between us. But you need not be afraid, Zenobia Fox, because my heart is iron and my will is steel, and before the new moon rises, I will come for you.”He kissed her and as he pulled away, he wasn’t leaving her. It was just the first step back to her side.
review 2: This is the fourth installment out of a total of eight installments that are releasing weekly for the Kraken King book (this is book 4 overall in the Iron Seas series). This was a very well additon to the Kraken King story, although there was less action than in previous installments and more romance.Zenobia and Ariq finally make it to the Red City. Ariq has declared Zenobia to be under his protection, but in return he wants to learn her secrets. While Zenobia struggles with the decision of whether or not to trust Ariq, they both find out that there are bigger dangers and plots afoot.This was very well done. Again there wasn't as much action as in the first two parts of this book. There is a bit more romance in this installment, all the romance is incredibly well done.I continue to enjoy both Zenobia and Ariq as characters; they are interesting, likable, and engaging. This is the episode where Zenobia reveals many of her secrets, we also learn more of Ariq’s back story.I really enjoyed the description of the The Red City, it is a living city made of coral that grows and changes. It's such an imaginative idea and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see more of The Red City in the next installment.This is a very short read. I continue to be frustrated by the fact this is being released in installments. For this book I will continue to read the installments, but for future books in the series I will wait until the final book is released to read it.Overall this was a great addition to the series. I continue to enjoy the characters and loved the introduction to The Red City. There was more romance and politics than action in this episode. Hopefully the next episode will pick up pace and be a bit longer. This one was a very short read. I can’t wait to see what happens next. less
