Lucifer Rising

I'm not sure where to start this review. I didn't enjoy the story as much in this third installment of the series, and there wasn't much that jumps out to me to say. Although the characters were certainly more interesting this time around. That awful Countess is back and she is certainly causing a ton of trouble in Nadija's family. Even though I don't like her, I can't help but be fascinated by her awfulness. We also learn alot more about Jozef, and it's not good at all. I loved reading the interactions between Nadija and James especially.

Their relationship is getting quite complicated as they grow closer. There's no doubt that they love each other, but at times it seems like James wants more from Dija. I do admire for Dija for not giving in to temptation and remaining faithful to Alexei, but I do feel sad for James. He's a good man, and he needs someone who can return his feelings. I also think he'll make the perfect king, so I hope he gets his chance.

Even though the story was a bit dragging for me, I'm still fully enjoying this series. I love the author's writing style, and she's given Nadija a very clear, strong voice. There was a surprise at the end which I wasn't expecting, but it definitely makes perfect sense. I can't wait to see what Nadija does with her new found knowledge in the next book!
