Interesting and involved.
This is Book 2 in the Elven Kingdoms series, which is part of Donna Grant’s much larger Dark Universe. This series deals with multiple types of Elves located on the planet Zora, so each books spends time explaining the Eves involved. Our two main characters, female Arya and male Jai, both are Dark Elves looking for vengeance. Secondary characters supporting Arya are her mentor Dain, and mates Yasmine and Ravi. Jai, and his best friend, a female named Priya are tied to an evil group called the Masters, which sets up the underlying plot. Donna Grant takes these characters and these plot points and weaves an intricate and compelling read. Detailed enough to make the reader feel the betrayals and darkness but with enough violence to give it realism, and hope that the characters will survive. While slow in spots, the story moves along in a steady stream to the conclusion. Well written with good characterizations, I enjoyed this second book dealing with mostly the Dark Elves.
I was given an ARC by the author through BookFunnel, and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
