One Word Review: Awesome! (If you don't know the series, I really recommend Book 1:[b:Telepath 31300289 Telepath (Hive Mind, #1) Janet Edwards https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1469938072l/31300289.SY75.jpg 51967177])Short Review: “Adversary” keeps the Hive Mind series rolling with a bang. It's all about relationships—family, friends, culture. Ms Edwards nails character growth while handing out out intense action scenes and some seriously tense confrontations. The plot ties up nicely, but there's a clear sign we're in for more. Can't wait!Longer Review (no spoilers, promise!): So, in “Adversary,” Janet Edwards dives into the complex world of relationships, especially during the critical New Year period. It's like catching up with old friends. The characters evolve, and it feels like you're right there with them.When Ms Edwards puts the pieces of the plot puzzle together, it's like fireworks. Action scenes? Oh, they're top-notch, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Tense debates, Poirot style confrontations? Check. Every moment of this not only moves the story forward but also adds layers to the characters. It's like she's got this perfect recipe for blending action and character growth.The wrap-up of the current plot is spot-on. You're left feeling satisfied (in my case almost euphoric), but Ms Edwards is cunning — there are clear signs that more world-building goodness is on the horizon in books yet to come. “Adversary” just cranks up the excitement for what's next. Janet Edwards knows how to keep the momentum going in the Hive Mind series. After this, I'm back counting the days until the next instalment, but even more so than last time.In a nutshell, “Adversary” rocks. If you're into characters you can care for and cheer for, heart-pounding action, and a a world that feel read and like a giant puzzle at the same time, this series is perfect. Seriously, dive in!Note: This review was delayed due to me just not knowing how to get my feelings together - I am so invested in these characters. Janet Edwards is certainly my favorite author.
