Well, that was over too quickly…

I can’t believe I rushed it. I should have taken my time, kept the tension going and drawn out the drama. I started this morning, and the next thing I knew, I’d hit the epilogue. I think right there is proof that I got sucked in.

The Knight kept me enthralled. I was fascinated watching both Avery and Gabriel change. Avery learns the power she holds over Gabriel and uses it to her best advantage. Gabriel, well, the poor bugger can no longer hide his need for Avery. Sure, he puts up a façade of cruelty and indifference, but it’s easy to see his feelings are burning him alive.

The intrigue and suspense were done well and I found myself squinting at all the characters, judging them guilty and needing them to prove their innocence. I assessed each character and felt that none of them was really looking out for Avery’s best interest. As the story progressed, I went from squinting at everyone, to, doing the fake smile *I’m watching you* face. They seem to be OK, but I was still hesitant to clear them and put my trust in them.

I’ve really enjoyed The Pawn and The Knight. When The Pawn came to its conclusion I did not hesitate and was desperate to one-click The Knight. At the end of The Knight, unfortunately, I didn’t have that same pull to keep going. Sure, I will read The Castle, but I kind of feel like I got my romance settled. Yep, I get that Avery is still in danger, but I have so much faith in Gabriel, that I don’t feel like I need to watch her back. Because of my love of Gabriel’s character, I will definitely be back for more soon…ish.
