This book took me a while to finish, and I will tell you why. It is because I was scared to read it after how mad I was after I read Downfall. Mara was a character I wasn’t sure I cared to know about, sorry Willow.
Mara was an incredibly tough character to like. The one thing she had going for her was her love for Elias. She was constant. She loved him from childhood and would NOT give up on him. Elias had a lot of issues, and pushing Mara away constantly was painful to witness because the love she had for him is really all that made her human in my eyes. She is the most prickly, opinionated character. She thinks she is right and knows everything. As the book goes on, you find out more and more tidbits of information about why Elias is the way he is. Stories start to unravel and love is tested.
In the end, Willow won back my trust. I enjoyed this book more than Downfall because Mara was redeemable. Elias needed at least seven hugs and a cuddle. Once Mara let guard down and was able to see the truth, she became softer. Softer Mara is a good thing.
