Goodreads Blub: Kyon Ensin finally has what he’s always wanted: possession of Kricket Hollowell, the priestess who foresees the future. Together, their combined power will be unrivaled. Kricket, however, doesn’t crave the crown of Ethar—she has an unbreakable desire to live life on her own terms, a life that she desperately wants to share with her love, Trey Allairis.
As conspiracies rage in the war for Ethar, Kricket’s so-called allies want to use her as a spy. Even those held closest cannot be trusted—including Astrid, her sister, and Giffen, a member of a mysterious order with a hidden agenda. But Kricket’s resolve will not allow her to be used as anyone’s pawn, even as the Brotherhood sharpens its plans to cut out her heart.
As the destiny prophesied by her mother approaches, Kricket will backtrack through her fiery future to reshape it. For she knows one thing above all else: the only person she can truly count on is herself.
My Review: 2.5 stars
I don’t give negative reviews lightly. It actually takes me quite some time, to sum up, my thoughts and my feelings when the review is actually negative. While the writing was beautiful in an entertainment standpoint I CANNOT get behind the slavery and the abuse of women or people in general.
This is why the review is so bad. This book has me running through thoughts and emotions that just aren’t pretty. This actually taints the other 2 books that I thoroughly enjoyed. When reading a book like this, one has to ask themselves, do you really want to partake in this. Do you really want to finish what this has started? And because I’m the kind of person that can’t just stop reading a book, decided to finish it. The ENTIRE BOOK except for the ending (and even that ffs) surrounds abuse. Abuse, captivity, rape. You name it.
As a human being, as a reader. I ask you the author of this series. Why? Just why.
