See allNot me wanting to crawl into this book and never leave it. Primus is great and all and I like him, but that sadistic vamp Rorrick......absolutely a delight everytime hes on the scene. Love that murderous, casually dismissive, cold as ice but so goddamn hot at the same time. I love the way the mystical, magical, supernatural, and holy worlds all blend together to create this world. I love the murder mystery curled up with palace intrigue, a fight for freedom, and (gods I hope) love triangle that all work together to make this such a brilliant story.
And I want the next one. Now.
I loved the first book, loved the second book, and fucking love the 3rd and final installment in this series! I don't have the words to say how incredible this series is. Mother of All ends the series in a way that is perfect, showcasing how far all the characters have come and tying everything together; not in a neat little bow, but in a way that shows how much further they all still have to go. but knowing they will get there
Accidentally started the 2nd book in this series first and quickly realized I needed to start with Deep Freeze. The world building and character development was so intense, I could barely understand half of what was going on in the 2nd book. Deep Freeze is incredible, a dystopian world not too far off from our own. Also John Reiff is such an amazing fighter. A very creative, thrilling, cleverly written story. Now, to restart Cold Storage with a full understanding of this world.
Lacey's journey in Rainbow Black is unique to her but also so much like the journey so many queer people (including myself) have had to go through. Trial and tribulations (literally, in Lacey's case) and reinventing yourself, trying so hard to leave behind the past while still being haunted by it. Finding happiness in the midst of everything and eventually coming to grips with everything that happened and paying your dues and then being able to finally move on. Her story is heartbreaking, inspiring, horrifying, and eventually concluded with the same bitter sweet farewell she and Gwen shared.
I love this book, so much.
