New Release & REVIEW: Bound in Darkness by Jacquelyn Frank
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
After drinking from the fountain of immortality along with his
brothers, Maxum is condemned by the gods to be entombed in the earth. Even
though he has now been granted a reprieve by day, each night he is buried anew,
his rock-hard body immobilized, his bones crushed by the pressure. When he
emerges, his body heals, but his spirit remains scarred. There is only one way
for Maxum to be completely free: He must kill the god who cursed him.
The
task will require tremendous power, so Maxum must gather talismans to equip him
for the battle. To help him on this quest, Maxum approaches the alluring
Airianne and strikes a bargain as tempting as it is audacious. A skilled thief,
Airianne could be a valuable ally, if only Maxum could trust her. Will this
stealthy seductress also try to steal his heart—or will their boldness end up
getting them both buried?

MY THOUGHTS:
The final story in the series…finally
Maxum & Arianne’s story. If you haven’t read the others, you can follow this
story without any issues, but reading the previous three make this one richer.
If you love fantasy and romance, then this is an imaginative novel you shouldn’t
miss with its GoT and Lord of the Rings feel without the tricky dialogue of Tolkien.
There’s a lot going on in this book, but this author does a great job with the
details and character development.
What I enjoyed most was the H/h who
just work together (so much more than those in the previous book), although the
first half of the book for me had some rough going with likability of the characters,
especially the hero. But if you make it to the halfway point, then everything
comes together and the story flies to the end.
There are steamy moments, but not
too hot. The series is cleanly wrapped up with a sweet epilogue. No spoilers
here.
I received this ARC copy of Bound
in Darkness from Random House Publishing Group in exchange for an honest
review.
