Lord of the Abyss (Royal House of Shadows #4)
This was my first book to read in this series, and I'm happy to report that the great writing style made this easy to read as a standalone. The things I loved most:* I am usually not a fan of book virgins.........but in this read, it was so beautifully and well portrayed. The little touches the hero and heroine shared, the kisses, they melted my heart! * I adored each and every character in this read. * The plot was fast paced and never dull. Full of adventure* I loved how the hero was direct
Standing alone, I give this book high marks. It's a unique, highly sensual tale. Nalini Singh is an author who always delivers something special. But when considering as part of the 4-book series, and the series finale', and discussing the conclusion of the series as a whole, it comes as a disappointment because we get no sense of WHY all of the siblings had to be present at the end. We see only Micah and Lily's scene, battling the Blood Sorcerer. We don't see the other siblings as a part of
4.5 starsYou know what, I figured out recently that I label a lot of really good books 4.5 stars, meaning it was great, but I have some issues with them. Sorry, irrelevant here, moving on.Before starting, I should mention that I have read only the first book in the series, the one written by Gena Showalter and found it to be just ok, but this one was...incredible. It was sweet and in many ways light, and I really loved the characters.Story goes like this... Once upon a time, in a land far, far
Lord of the Abyss is the last book in the Royal House of Shadows series and it was by far my favourite! Singh crafts a stunning visualization of The Guardian of the Abyss black armor that covers him from neck to ankle, gauntlet arm with sharp talons, blonde hair with winter-green eyes. This man can only be Micah, the youngest of the Elden heirs and he is definitely my favourite of all the heroes in this series!(sorry Osborn!). I loved his arrogance and his determination. They were admirable but
Now I recall why Id chosen to skip to book 4 of this series. I have no issues whatsoever reading any series out of order!The reason? LOVE Micah! From his name (this was the name of my first boy crush from Russia) to his virginity (MEOW!) to his looks (my darling Mr Blondie Bun!) to his personality and the fact that he loves the h for HER personality, not for her looks, which were pretty unattractive at first.Whats not to love?Why not 5 stars? Bc there were bits that moved a bit slow I guess.
I was very reluctant to start Lord of the Abyss, to be perfectly honest. I was simply tired of the disappointment, frustration, and rage that I felt during the whole experience of reading the Royal House of Shadows series. I absolutely hated the first book, and disliked the second one. And after skimming the first ten pages of the third book, I got bored out of my wits and shelved it. I was at the point of giving up on the series altogether when I remembered my friend Erika's praise for this

Once upon a time…the Blood Sorcerer vanquished the kingdom of Elden. To save their children, the queen scattered them to safety and the king filled them with vengeance.
