Masks by Karen Chance
4.0
So obviously if you have ever read any of Karen Chance's books before, you'd come to Masks with pretty high expectations and honestly, I think she delivered. Masks focus' on Mircea's life shortly after his transition when he was living in Venice. It was a great look at what ultimately shaped him into the man he is in the Cassie Palmer books and it was a great peak at what makes him tick. Masks is not quit as action packed as the Cassie books are, I wasn't really left with any of the 'edge of my seat' feelings but it was still a fun ride.
The ending definitely had me itching for more...the book is 406 pages long and I didn't want it to end. I'm now wondering if the photo album that Cassie finds in Curse the Dawn in Mircea's room is filled with images of who Mircea connects with at the very end of Masks? It would answer a lot of questions but at the same time, creates so many more. Where is this person now? Why haven't we seen them in the Cassie books yet? It's driving me crazy but in a good way. I cannot wait to see what Karen has in store for us next and I'm 100% on board for another Mircea book! I'd love to see his fight to power and how he gained his seat on the senate in the future! I'd also like to see what maybe happens to come of the side characters from Masks.
