“I wanted to like this book so much !
No offense to those of you who liked the book or to SK herself, I just didn't like it at all.
It's way too full of characters and character types/species. Greek, Sumerian, Egyptian (and maybe more?) Pantheon's were all represented.
I counted over 80 characters and character type/species!
Seriously, want the list?
That's in a 300 page book with a large font no less.
Stryker's character was much better developed than Zephyra's I guess because his backstory is mentioned in other books. Zephyra's 11,000+ years were crammed in between God's, Goddesses, DemiGods, Priestesses,Appolites, Daimons, Demons, Demons , DEMONs etc.
The Romeo/ Juliet age marriage (14 years old) and the remembered sex scenes icked me out in a serious way. I don't care that that was marriagable age in Ancient Greece, I don't want to read child sex scenes.
It was overall a simple" I LOVED YOU" " I HATE YOU" "I LOVE YOU AGAIN" type romance with a very irritating battle build up with a "HEY I forgot about *** lets use THAT weapon" simplistic ending to the battle.
I know she can do better, seriously I AM a fan of her work. I read/re-read the earlier Dark Hunter books 2 or 3 times a year . But this was just over stuffed witn non story nonsense and just bad.
