So excited to have this to read. It's the first in a duology, focussed on the next generation of the Otherworld series.The Otherworld series may be my absolute favourite books, so this was going to be a slam dunk for me. I love Kelley Armstrong's writing, but especially in that series.
This book follows Kate and Logan Danvers, twin children of Elena Michaels and Clayton Danvers. The fact that Armstrong can make us care about this second generation years after the initial series was completed is part of how amazing she is. I think fans have been begging for more.
The characters are just as well written as the adults in the original series, and the plot shifts, and twists in the same complicated but easy to follow way. I admire the writing. A lot.
There was (apparently) controversy when the book was released; people were upset that it has a cliffhanger ending. But if you follow Kelley Armstrong's work at all, that wouldn't be a surprise. It was always talked about as a duology - two books. Obviously, Armstrong was going to leave us with something to figure out in the second book. And this was a great cliffhanger.
I'm anxiously awaiting the second book now, having decided that half the fun of reading these is going to be the anticipation of how the story ends.
Four stars. But it couldn't really be any less. (Is it March 2020 yet?)
