The Three

"This book had it all, love, devotion, lies, trauma, survival, heart break, loss, rage, hate, fear, and righteous fury! But seriously, really great read with 3 main characters you will fall in love with, though you'll only see and experience everything from Anna's point of view, which I was worried would be limiting for the story telling of 3 mains, but it flowed beautifully from just her point, and through her eyes alone, you fall in love with these 2 other people she at first admires but quickly grows to love. But it's not all roses, the way the book starts off is right after Anna has lost--basically everything. She's almost ready to give up, and that's where we find her, at a very low point in her life before she stumbles upon our angel, and viciously soft hearted barbarian. (That's how I've nick named Elin and Kael) Now the book starts off fantastic, because it jumps right into the action, and then tempers down to a low smolder, as we get to know every character in this group, before they start hitting their next few pot holes in life. Plus the action scenes are separated out so nicely that you never get bored reading when "nothing" is happening, and that's hard to do. Plus, all the supposed "info dumping" never really raised it's ugly head, it's integrated so well that you don't ever start rolling your eyes or groaning in frustration and have to put the book down. But you will have to put the book down every now and again because it does in fact deal with some serious triggers. ***WARNING TRIGGERS AHEAD*** -sexual assault -rape -implied rape threats -straight men being evil (what's new) -forced procreation -murder (but most of it you will seriously be ok with happening) *** With the triggers above, it does at times make it hard to read through certain parts or listen to a character describe what they experienced...just be prepared people. It's written well and handled well, but I was so upset by it all and had to remind myself that this was just a fic"
