Though some of the plot points were fairly predictable, and it did rely a little heavily on the truth being discovered in an old Latin book, Nightshade was still an incredibly enjoyable affair, with fantastic characters and enough originality in premise to overlook any predictability in plot. Calla's final decision was never going to be easy, and the book was all the better for putting her through every difficult choice she had to make. The romance was touching, and I loved how the rivalry between Ren and Shay was complicated. The mythology was original, and the reader challenged to keep up with it rather than given a huge amount of exposition in the beginning. It was a beautiful way of marking the passage of time in the novel. The chapter titles are phases of the moon – a genius idea that I can't believe occurred to no one else before now. From the moment I first picked it up it was a delight to read – both in terms of story writing and aesthetic pleasure. And Shay isn't afraid to question the ways of the Keepers and Guardians, not if it causes Calla to question her own future, and whether or not it's possible for her to choose him over Ren… Calla is promised to Ren, but Shay makes her feel happier than she's ever been. She hopes to never see him again, but when it becomes clear that he's somehow important to the Keepers, and Calla is charged to look after him, she finds herself spending a lot of time with him.īut being near Shay is dangerous. Then Calla breaks one of the fundamental rules of her society – she saves the life of a human boy, Shay.
That's the way things are for alphas, and servitude is the sacred calling of the Guardians. Grow up, become mated to Ren, lead the new pack formed of her packmates and his, serve the Keeper who they are assigned to serve. A pleasure to read.Ĭalla Tor has always known where her life is heading. Summary: A great book with enough originality in its mythology to overlook the slightly predictable plot.
