I would like to start by saying to any first time readers
don't start at the end. This series has built upon itself
and should be read in it's entirety from book one. The
relationships between the characters cannot be fully
appreciated without reading the whole series.
Unlike
previous books, BURN THE NIGHT was written from two
perspectives. In the beginning I didn't really like this
change, but throughout the book I got a look at Nyx that I
had never seen before. I felt that this angle of writing
worked really well for this, the final, book of the series.
Getting an inside look at Nyx just let me be closer to her
and understand her more than ever before. I loved the fact
that plots were emerging from all sides. The intensity of
the story was amazing, the action never stopped and even at
the last pages you are left with a feeling that the world
was still hanging on a precipice. I found that Nyx really
did compliment Mira in more ways than one. Both are really
powerful characters, both have been set aside by their
people, and both are struggling to make a better place for
those in their lives. The writing style in this book was
fantastic and led me closer to a sense of completion than
ever before. On top of the writing style we finally get to
see the steamy scenes that every reader has been hoping
would be in this book. The sensuality and smoke that Mira
and Danaus leave between the pages was amazing! I was very
happy to see their relationship come to this point and the
steamy scenes was another added bonus. Another aspect of
BURN THE NIGHT that I loved was the ending so I won't spoil
it for you! I found that after the first few chapters I was
simply flying through this book. While sad to see an ending
to the series, I felt that it truly ended as the characters
and the series deserved it to.
Struggling from the past, Mira has lived a life full of
heartache, betrayal, and a never ending fight on her hands.
Being used by friends and enemies alike, Mira is never
fully sure who she can trust and who will be throwing the
next knife at her back. The Naturi have split into two
separate parts and everything points to a war that cannot
be avoided. Mira is forced to join forces with the people
she has always destroyed. Aurora, the Queen of the Naturi,
is determined to bear all and show the world that there are
things that go bump in the night and day. Will Mira be able
to stop her before their lives are shattered in her wake?
Once hated enemies, Mira and Danaus have come full circle.
Are they better friends, enemies, or can they be the lover
that they seem to be? Can a firestarter and a vampire
slayer find a little bit of happiness in a world that is
falling apart around them? Can Mira truly open her heart to
Danaus and build the life she has always wanted?
For Mira, the end is nigh. The Great Awakening is
approaching, and she must face her demons--her former mentor
Jabari, who betrayed her; the relentless naturi who tortured
her; the demonic father who is far more than he seems; and
the Great Liege, who controls the vampire cover and the
supernatural world. Even with the half-demon vampire hunter
Danaus at her side, this will be more than the even the Fire
Starter can face.
