I recently posted the launch celebration for Crimson Tides by Eliza Tilton. I just finished reading it and my review is below.
~ Blurb ~
Back in Lakewood Avikar finally learns the truth about his father—and the lies he’s been told since birth. Since King Corban doesn’t believe his tale about the shapeshifters, it falls to Avikar to find a way to route out the beasts from the lands and stop them once and for all.
Lucino has left Jeslyn in Mirth to go fight the Kuuni. When he arrives on the black shores, ready to slaughter them all, he finds that killing is no longer as easy as before. His human side is becoming stronger, and the repercussions of his love for Jeslyn will put his race and every plan he’s ever made at risk.
In Book Three of the Daath Chronicles, two very different boys will discover who they thought they were is nowhere close to the truth, and sacrificing themselves is the only way to save the world they love.
~ My Review ~
Yay, book 3 is here! Crimson Tides picks up where Wicked
Path left off. We get three perspectives nicely woven through the story from
Avikar, Lucino, and Jeslyn. All three are on separate missions with conflicting
goals, so you know this will get tense!
It was nice to see Avikar struggle with his feelings toward
fallen comrades, his father’s mysterious past, and his blooming love of Raven.
Lucino’s character is also deepened, you have to root for him (most of the
time!) even though he has the ability and possible intention to slaughter all
humans. Jeslyn must decide the future she wants as well as take her own path to
get there – and by the end of the book, she is just learning the implications
of her choice, so there is more to come for all three characters, which I’m
glad to see.
There was a plot twist near the end that most people won’t
like and it made me sad. But then all the more determined to know how the story
continues.
This sequel is definitely worth reading. The writing is good
and Ms. Tilton’s fight scenes are quite exciting. And if you haven’t read it,
you should check out the short story Deadly Dance, which throws a fun twist in
showing how Lucy and Derrick ended up together in Crimson Tides.
Well done, 4.5 stars, rounding to 5.
