It hurt to witness, and I hate Devi for the way she treated him at that moment. And then he bares his soul for Devi and I do mean bares. Standing up to Rupert in a way that was damn impressive - truly. Anthony went through hell for her, she lost a year in hyperspace and during that time he buried her - he'd been her friend and lover for seven years, and when he got word she was alive, but seemingly trapped with a known monster, he moved heaven and earth to go rescue her. This issue is one of the biggest hangups I had with this book. She and Rupert make peace with their horrible past (that was pretty hard for me to swallow since I thought the author was giving the heave-ho to traditional dynamics with the way people try to kill each other here) but as Devi begins to make peace with her feelings for Rupert, Anthony shows up intending to save her from an illegal monster. This last one wasn't technically bad per se, but the romance completely eclipsed the storyline, and several times made me feel like Devi and Rupert were barely the same people.ĭevi was just coming out of the hyperspace jump with Rupert at the end of the last book, and that's where we pick up here. I fawned pretty hard over the first book in this trilogy, and I think I'll see that it stands the test of time as far as books I really got into, but with each book came more and more issues for me.
