Before the Epilogue I was thinking this deserves 4 stars if only because of the amazing main characters and their relationship. After the Epilogue - I'm not so sure anymore. Leaving it on 4 stars for now. Full review to come.

A fantasy romance! Count me in! And some reviews say the cover is ugly but I love it! It was actually the cover that got me interested. I was just grabbing some eBook freebies from Amazon and spotted this by chance. God moves books in a mysterious way! ^_~ ...more
Very short but still touching and emotional. A scene from Christian's personal world. On the other hand - kinda pointless. I feel the same 3 STARS

She has regrets and wants to stop. Instead she found her lost childhood friend and love Robbie - the Tanglemaster who is the only person who can lead her to the Monk ... .
I liked this story very much. It's a novella between books #2 and #3 but it can easily be read even as an introduction to the series. We receive a good look into the great comic-book inspired world these characters live in. We receive hot moments, human emotions, redemption and love. Can't wait to continue with the final book in the series! ...more

I'm very conflicted how to rate this. I want to give it the highest rating because I almost finished it 24 hours ago(I read the final two chapters now) and I was thinking about it and about this goddamn twist the entire day and night. Thinking and rewinding and reliving ... . So it moved me, right?! It is so devilishly good and so plain bad at the same time. Not the cliffhanger/twist itself but the way Otto's personality was made so black and white at once. It doesn't feel right to me. I guess it depends on how do you perceive Otto till this moment. Don’t get me wrong, I'm Team Packard from the very beginning and there are some scenes in here that I adore. Like:
"There’s something so sweet about him dozing, as though all his pricklers are gone."
And the quote is not about what you're thinking. ;) I can give you more but I won't because I don't want to spoil you. And yet I was seeing Otto as a more complex character. I'm still not sure how I feel about it.
All in all although the story build up a little slowly - Justine doesn't know what she wants and at times we have too much internal dialog and less action - the book still has great suspenseful scenes, superb sexual tension, more backstory, more depth and it's as entertaining as the first.
I might rate it differently some other time. Straight to book #3 now! And yes - read this series ASAP!...more
