Shards of Hope (Psy-Changeling, #14) by Nalini Singh
5.0
Re-Read: June 2024
This book had SO MUCH!!! So many things were happening, so many characters and changeling packs were introduced and explored further, a big enemy is introduced, new alliances and politics are being brought in. This book definitely feels like the end of “season one” and the start of the new storyline that is explored in the trinity series. The society in this world is really being ushered into a new era and this book shows that so well.
The society that Nalini created is so amazing. Through the Psy Net Beacon excerpts that we get throughout the novel, we get to see how society is reacting and adjusting to the societal changes that are occurring and the push back that people have to those changes, as well as the moment that they begin to accept and absorb those changes.
I know some people dislike Psy x Psy relationships but they’re some of my favorite. I personally think that the Psy are the most interesting race so I had a ton of fun with this one.
“You are written indelibly on my soul, Zaira. Nothing will ever alter what you are to me.”
I LOVE Aden! He’s definitely one of my favorite male leads in the series. The way he respects Zaira and prioritizes her comfort and boundaries is everything. He is such a good leader to the Arrows. Seeing his true power was such a cool scene. I love how he let himself be underestimated and then had a huge reveal. I also just love the concept of his power - being a “mirror” and able to pull from other’s powers is such an interesting idea and it really shows how much trust the Arrows have. He was described as wearing a “ankle length leather coat” several times though and personally I’m choosing to ignore that
