I absolutely loved these stories! This is the 2nd half of the series with the four books collected in one and you are definitely going to want to have read the first 4 books in the series as well as go from one book to the next. There is plenty of action and intrigue as we watch things develop for Rory with her men and the Fearmancer world. She is dealing with a lot and a lot of changes as she continues to be herself but also trying to figure out what is going on with the Barons and what their large plot is. She is also dealing with the fact that her mother is alive and needs rescuing as she has been held by the Joymancers all this time. She has something starting to brew with Malcolm as he has stopped trying to attack her and made it known that he is sorry and his bullying is over to her and is now standing up and by her side in public. There is a lot of trust that still needs to be built with him but he is ready to step up for that. I loved how she made it known that she was willing to see where things go there but she was not willing to give up her other relationships with the other Scions that she had. I loved watching those continue to build with each other as well. They continue to start seeing things from a different perspective and it allows them to build a stronger and stronger team between themselves. This story had me engaged from beginning to end and I truly enjoyed reading the entire series and watching everything come together. Very well done and can't wait to read more in this world and by Eva Chase. 
I listened to the audio version and the narrators did a phenomenal job with all the characters and personalities and having the action and emotions come alive. They really complimented each other.

Absolutely loved this series. The character growth was exceptional. The spice was tasteful. And the plot was original and interesting.

Too much going on and the story drug on. Could have been done in a few books didn't need to be 8. Over it by book 5.

averyswann's review against another edition

I really thought that I'd finish this book. I just had to take a break then go back to it at a later date. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I stopped reading this, and my mood just didn't let me continue this book again. Maybe I'll try and read this again from the very start, but right now, I just have to let it go. It's been bugging me to see it at my currently reading list when I know to myself that it'll probably be a long time until I pick this up again.

As to why I had so much difficulty with finishing this book, it's mainly because of the pacing. I find it so slow. I'm also a mood reader so that's to blame as well.
