capssuds 's review for:
Heart of the Shadow King
by Sylvia Mercedes
dark
emotional
slow-paced
This book. It dragged. Hard.
I love the author's writing and voice, please do not get me wrong. The story of this series takes place over a couple of weeks (said on the book) but these books should have been a duology, in all honesty. The magic system did not feel well explained (and maybe that's the purpose), but also Fairaine does not feel like a strong character. We are told she's strong and she believes she's strong, which is nice, but she's fully manipulated. The final dragon fighting scene, which has been built up for the whole series, was done in about 30 pages at the end. Finished. Done. Pbbt. Also... The sex activates her rock powers? Unsure on this one, lads. I'll give the author's other series a try.
