Review:
So it seems like this overall story ARC that
began so long ago with the love story of two very unlikely and unique
individuals has come full circle and to a satisfactory ending. Any true fans of this series knew it was
coming, but the end is always bittersweet and I for one was sad to see all the
change and challenges that Dragos and Pia had to overcome to finally come to
their true and everlasting HEA. This story was the last novella for Dragos and
Pia and revolves around the how Dragos deals with the kidnapping of his mate
and the truth that has been staring him in the face more and more lately. In the end Pie and Dragos have to come to a
heartbreaking but necessary decision in order to rebuild their lives and give
their family—and their people—a chance for a life lived on their own terms in
safety. I loved seeing Pia standing up
to her enemies and for her friends in this story even as she dealt with a lot
of hormonal and body changes as she prepared to give birth to her second child.
While it was obvious she continues to have problems with her pregnancy she
refuses to allow anything to put her life of her child in danger or to take her
from the love of her life. Dragos was, of course, the pinnacle predatory alpha
male and tore apart the world to find and rescue his mate, but thankfully at
the same time he remained a man that Pia could love and didn’t make the
innocents around him suffer for the crimes of the guilty. This story tugged at my heart while also
sometimes bringing laughter, but overall if makes you really think about the challenges
that these two have faced both together and apart through their short, but
intense and dramatic, relationship and life together. I truly enjoyed the way the story was wrapped
up nice and neatly and there were so any little glimpses of favorite characters
from other previous novels that I enjoyed getting to reminisce as well. I am looking forward to perhaps a new story
ARC or a spinoff that revolves around the next generation or the new group of
Wyr leadership. All in all it was worth
every moment of angst and fear to see Pia and Dragos fins their happiness and
begin to build their new lives. If you
are looking for a look into the lives of a unique and amazing couple you can’t
ever go wrong with one of these stories, but I highly recommend you go back to
the very beginning and read them all, otherwise the true greatness of this
series will slip through your fingers like so much sand through an
hourglass. Whatever comes next, I know I
will be one of the first in line to give it a try, so keep the magic coming Ms.
Harrison.
