Review: Born of Fury

Born of Fury by Sherrilyn Kenyon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Again, it's another one that I totally forgot to write the review for. In part, it's really because I was utterly consumed by reading it. That was my entire focus. I love the League series. Even more, I love the Hauk brothers and to read the first of their books was absolutely a wonder and a thrill. I love the story and I love the characters. I love the world that they live in. I love that she gives more details of the world that we thought we knew and starts to show some things for what they truly are beyond what you could ever have thought you imagined.

I love the way that the world was built. I loved the way that you get to see more and more of the little details and specifics that make the world real. I especially love the hero and the heroine. Sumi and Hauk are definitely two of my favorites so far. Their story is beautiful and dangerous. Every moment you're wondering if some choice that they make will tear them apart of why they haven't realized they're not actually going to do what they think they're doing.

I know some people say that all of Sherrilyn's heroes are battered and tortured, but really it's so much more than that. We're all battered and tortured in some way. We all have hardships. We all face things that seem like insurmountable odds and no matter the circumstances we come from whether they be horrible like Darling and Hauk and Nyk or lives that are rather normal like Ture, there is always the chance for us to have a happy ending, for things to work out okay. There will always be people to love us and watch out for us. And people are never so simple as you think they are.

Review: Cloak and Silence

Cloak and Silence by Sherrilyn Kenyon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



So I actually finished this book a while back and I had meant to write up the review for it a lot sooner, but clearly that did not happen. This book was one that was really hard to find, but most certainly worth the hunt.

Now I can't say that I care much either way if someone is straight, gay, bisexual, or any other oddity, but this is the first book that I have read that did feature a gay couple as its main pairing and I do not regret it in the least. With her typical grace and attention to detail, Sherrilyn brings us back into the Ichadian universe and shows us that everyone deserves to be happy.

The story of Ture and Maris is beautiful and troubled. It is a story that makes you hope and oh so very afraid because you can't help but wonder if everything is going to be okay. And then it is and in that moment, everything is okay. The world seems right. nd what more could you ask for in a book? It doesn't matter if the pair are straight or both of the same gender. You find that you don't care. The only thing that matters is their happy ending.

And you cannot doubt, it is a happy ending.
