Loves of Shadow and Power

4.5 Rounded to 5

Xiao, Nanami, Jin and Bai are on separate journeys that will hopefully bring them back to each other. They must battle, not only their insecurities, but other immortal beings and creatures, as they try to save those they love and the life want with them.

Can they survive long enough to be reunited? Or will they fall prey to doubt, destruction and chaos?

I loved the development of the four main characters and the journeys they each embarked upon. As with the first book, Vows of Gold and Laughter, this is written so beautifully that I was once again immersed in grand, sweeping backdrops and vivid colors. I enjoyed every minute of it. So much so that I finished this in one sitting.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
