King of Shadows (Masks of Under, #2)

by Kathryn Ann Kingsley

[Eve1972]

First off, I am just going to say Lydia is my spirit animal. Christ on a cracker I LOVE her character! The whole scene with Otoi...GOLD. Pure gold. (lol)



This book was just as enjoyable as book one. The writing remains top notch. It was well paced. The amazing world and character building continues. The cast of intriguing secondary characters grows. I'm completely #shipping Lydia and Aon. We even get some sexy times (PG 13) but still very sexy. Last, that ending...gaah! I need book three NOW...



However, I had one teensy little issue. Not even an issue per se, more disappointment regarding how a married couple behaves in Under. Fidelity isn't a given (or expected) for those couples that are "married." As I mentioned, it wasn't a HUGE issue for me as it doesn't come into play with our main couple, but just that the potential is there disappointed me a little. It does comes into play for two married side characters I was fond of, so that took away from their bond a bit. That said, UNDER doesn't have the same rules and rituals of humans, so I am trying to just roll with it. (lol)
