RISE WITH THE DAWN
As much as I liked this series, I felt it was time to finish. The concept was good and I really like the idea of a people with different blood. I just feel that it went on a bit too long and by the end I was ready for it to be over.
One character I was surprised to find myself really liking is Evangeline. At first she is the enemy, someone who clashes majorly with Mare. You hate her and everything she stands for. But the more you get to know her, the more you realise she's just in the wrong place at the wrong time. She doesn't want to be there and most of the time she doesn't want to be doing the things 'expected' of her. In the end she really pulls through for Mare and you know she's an ally.
I'm glad Maven is gone. He's such a broken individual that you can't help but pity him. I actually found it hard to see him and the 'villain' because his mind is so messed up. I even sometimes thought he was quite tame, and considering his issues, I think he could have been written in really quite a menacing way.
Next up for this series will be Cruel Crown, a book of two novellas to accompany the series. And then that's it done!
Victory comes at a price.
