Review
So this was interesting. Now, before I start I just want to
say I’m writing this review with the belief there are no more books to this
series. That this was the last we’ll hear from these characters.
When we left Season One there were a million questions, a
ton of loose ends, and all hope gone. Now, Season 2, each episode, brought more
clarity, but it also brought more questions.
We are deeply involved with Carter here, Vincent, Aaron,
sure but I felt like this was more Carter’s journey (nightmare).
Kol still masters the dark depravity that I have come to
expect from his books. His creativity knows no bounds and taboo is too gentle a
word for his tales. Major props to him for his bravery and his storytelling.
I had an issue though that has nothing to do with the
material of this story. For me, and this is my opinion, if this was the last
book for these characters it shouldn’t be. There are still questions, a lot of
loose ends, no finality, and no happy ending. Now, it’s possible the no happy
ending is the intention of the author so I can’t fault anyone for that. But
there’s holes.
Remember, I’m writing this based on the fact I think this is
the end. If it’s not than I have no doubt Kol will fill in the blanks in future
books. As it stands it feels incomplete to me. Perhaps the desolate haunting
feeling is supposed to be the end game of this ride. Again, if that’s the goal
it’s been achieved. Lol.
Some will see this as open ended and justice served. Others,
like myself, may not see it that way at all. But perhaps there IS more to come.
One can hope.

Interesting review. I haven't read season two yet and now I'm even more curious than I already was. I really need to find the time to read this book soon.
ReplyDeleteYou do. I have spoken to many people who have read it and the opinions are so different. It's totally a conversation piece
