Why me?

That’s the question Lila Gray asks every time yet another bad guy tries to destroy the earth, and she learns she’s the only one who can stop it. Once again, something’s on the prowl, leaving hundreds of comatose, soulless victims in its wake.

Couldn’t the deadliest assassins of the Otherworld go after someone else instead of the brand new Queen of the Seelie? One who still hasn’t adapted to her new role.

Lila would ask Liam Kane, King of the Unseelie, for advice, but something’s off with him, too. He’s holding back. In some way. About some thing. In fact, he refuses to tell her what’s going on.

The truth holds Lila back from the greatness of her role—the people she was born to lead—the man who she desperately loves—and the solution to the latest war raging around her.

To find the answers, she’ll need to fight through her own darkness and embark on a journey through her psyche.

If she doesn’t succeed, the Shadowborn will claim not only her world, but her soul.

4 (Muito bom)

Com a pulga atrás da orelha

Sabe quando a autora de deixa na falsa sensação de que está tudo bem e de fato por trás de toda felicidade e alegria algo está muito errado?
Foi mais ou menos dessa maneira que Jocelyn Adams me deixou em Shadowborn. Escrita e narrativa perfeitas, personagens consistentes, novo vilão (antigo?) e final satisfatório. Mas eu senti que algo de muito pior espera por Lila no próximo livro.Sinto que o amor de Lila e Liam ainda tem muito que amadurecer e se não houver confiança não vai dar certo.
Mas enfim aguardar o desfecho em Rise of Magic e esperar que Lila finalmente tenha sua paz.
