In the fourteenth installment in the Psy-Changeling
series, Nalini Singh gives
two Arrows a smoldering romance filled with action, suspense
and
adventure.
With the complexity of this series, I wouldn't suggest
reading out of order.
SHARD OF HOPE is quite heavy on the world and its politics,
which can
undoubtedly confuse some of you if you're not already
acquainted with the
world. That being said, with the combination of the stoic
Arrows and the
heavy political threads throughout the book, a lot of scenes
have a more
subtle impact.
This is especially true when it comes to the romance. Though
still action-
packed as Aden and Zaira work together to escape their
pursuers, it does
comes across as a slow burn rather than a full blast fire.
Singh stays true to
her characters in that way so while I could understand why
she approached
the book in this manner, SHARDS OF HOPE probably isn't my
favorite compared to the other
books in the series.
Aden and Zaira came across as mirror images of one another.
I think this is
what makes them work so well together. They are always on
the same train
of thought and although they value different things, at
their core they remain
very similar. The Arrows continue to be one of my favorite
parts of this series
so it's nice to see the two of them find a happily ever
after worth reading
about. In SHARDS OF HOPE, every page sizzles with intensity
and intimacy.
The “smoldering heat, epic romance, and awesome action”* of
Nalini Singh’s New York Times bestselling series continues
as two Arrows find themselves caught in a chilling
conspiracy that spans all three races…
Awakening wounded in a darkened cell, their psychic
abilities blocked, Aden and Zaira know they must escape. But
when the lethal soldiers break free from their mysterious
prison, they find themselves in a harsh, inhospitable
landscape far from civilization. Their only hope for
survival is to make it to the hidden home of a predatory
changeling pack that doesn’t welcome outsiders.
And they must survive. A shadowy enemy has put a target on
the back of the Arrow squad, an enemy that cannot be
permitted to succeed in its deadly campaign. Aden will cross
any line to keep his people safe for this new future, where
even an assassin might have hope of a life beyond blood and
death and pain. Zaira has no such hope. She knows she’s too
damaged to return from the abyss. Her driving goal is to
protect Aden, protect the only person who has ever come back
for her no matter what. This time, even Aden’s passionate
determination may not be enough—because the emotionless
chill of Silence existed for a reason. For the violent, and
the insane, and the irreparably broken…like Zaira.
