Trinity and Zayne are back as they hunt down the Harbinger in this ho-hum young adult romance.
THIS is the book I expected from the first in the series, Storm and Fury. Love triangles – err quadrangles? Yes! Moody and self-righteous Zayne? Yes, he’s here too! Not to be outdone, you’ll see lots more Roth (although not much Layla *thank the gods*). My biggest problem by far is the romance between Zayne and Trinity. Zayne did some shady shit in the novel, and yet it felt like Trinity was always in the wrong. Did Zayne actually do anything morally unethical? No, but the communication between the two made me really, REALLY dislike them both toward the end.
The book wasn’t a total loss – the last 30% was fast-paced and interesting, pulling away from the angst filled romance to the actual plot. I just…I REALLY liked the first book in the series. It completely blew me out of the water how much I enjoyed it considering I detested the original series. It was disappointing to see all the issues I had with the original trilogy resurface in this book. I plan on reading the last book, but I hope the love story is toned down.
tl;dr I didn’t like this book nearly as much as the first novel, but overall it’s still an entertaining read.
