The Council by K F Breene

The Council (Darkness, #5)

by K.F. Breene

With Sasha as the proclaimed Mage of high ranking power, she can't just slip under the carpet to a peaceful existance. Instead, she must present herself to the Council, a group of white mages who reside over the magical community, governing Stefan's people. There she must prove she has what it takes to be the mage of Stefan's clan, not something easily done.

Stefan, too, has been noticed by the large faction of rulers. An alpha leader with a firm hold over his people, he has outgrown in his position, and it shows. Ties to a human mage with a vast well of power, though, has made him a target. Sasha is sought after, and those who want to harness her power will take her by force if necessary.

With Dominicous' and Toa's help, Sasha and Stefan must face the trials coming up. Proving themselves is the easy part. Getting out with their lives becomes the challenge.

Still addicted...

I have read and enjoyed the whole series so far, but this one took a little longer for me to get into it. At the 10% mark I was starting to think that the series had run its course and maybe this one would be my last, but I persevered and started to get drawn back in.

The connection between all of the characters not just Stefan and Sasha is great and I love the dynamics of love, friendship and loyalty. The characters still draw me into the story, they make me laugh and worry for their safety.

The beginning - so so

The middle - getting interesting

3/4 mark - I can feel it coming...

The Conclusion - Sucked me in again!!!

I'm still enjoying this action packed series and I have already pre-ordered the next one. Thank you Ms Breene, keep up the good work :-)
