I love this couple so much, but gaaahhh...knowing something is going to happen doesn't lessen the impact when it finally comes to fruition. The ending of this book gutted me. I thought I was prepared. I wasn't. Sniff. However, as much as I enjoyed this installment in the THE KINGMAKER SAGA I can't quite rate it as high as the first book. I found this one to be a little too long and drawn out at times. Most notably the first 25% I found especially slow and hard to get into. However, it did pick up in pace as the story went along.



Now, I am well aware that this saga has A LOT of moving parts to it. Backstories and the recruitment of certain DEN members etc. Uilleam's rise to ultimate power. His and Karina's relationship. His relationship with his brother. Karina's relationship with her sister and mother. It is also going to span several years, so I did try and keep that in mind when I was reading. Alas, it just didn't quite have the same impact on me as much as the first book did.

However, it was still a cracking good read. This couple has such fantastic chemistry. There are excellent secondary characters. No OW or OM drama. Hot sexy times. Amazing plot and character development. A heartbreaking cliffhanger. It left me excited to see what happens next, so for that reason alone, it gets two thumbs up!
