And I don't mean it just here but the moment I finished the book I still had a hard time believing his love towards Val.
And for how small Carla's part was his feelings toward her resonated more than anything towards Val. This one follows their first book, and I'm not sure what to say here, so, I'll put my comment which I have for Dante&Val relationship as a whole here.Įven from Dante's POV and him saying I still do not feel like he loves her. Side note: both of these parts were very short.Īnd this is when my problems with this book really started-the moment when we hit the previous content but now only in different POV. I wanted to see more than this one scene. I actually thought that this was a bit of wasted opportunity. I had to wonder how much the things would have been different if he did not kill Jacopo. Dante's POV was fun I enjoyed the way he was thinking and how he took action. It was fun to read, and it gave me hope for this book. So, I have to say that I quite liked the idea of the book being split into several parts and each focusing on one betrayal. And it's these little things which personally throw me off while reading. Plus I believe that even the colour of Anna's hair changed from the first book. Liliana is called Vitiello instead of Cancio. I feel like the editing is getting worse and worse.ģ) Plus the author should probably get an editor who checks for *continuity* or maybe just more beta readers? Because in this book Nino was called Remo's oldest brother. I would like to mention a few things - a bit on the side.ġ) What is it with the new covers? I feel like the black&white ones fit the books better.Ģ) The author should fire her editor and get a refund. It was tough to get into the story and hardly even felt like a story, more like notes on what was happening in the Outfit when the focus was on different characters. Plus it started when Dante was nineteen and ended when Dante's what forty-eight or nine? It covers a pretty long time and therefore it's very jumpy, a scene here and then a scene that takes place months/years later. Unfortunately, that was not the case.Īnd so you do not need to read my whole review which is rather long (sorry!) the main reason why I rate this book relatively low is that I just did not enjoy reading it, it was dragging for me. I was not really a fan of the first Dante&Val book, but I was ready to be convinced. This is probably the longest it took me to finish a Cora Reilly book.
