For all Ryder’s talk of ‘love’, touching a soul with it, and Syn not knowing what it means to be truly vulnerable he does not have a leg to stand on.Ģ) Ryder still does not do himself any favours with his dialogue and shallow affections, but I still have hope because I want to like him as much as he is still proving to do otherwise!ģ) The volume of sex proves to be a bit too gluttonous at times.Ĥ) It’s said a few times that the culture of the Fae as a whole do not love easily, but I’m not sure I believe that. Wonderful!įavourite/Memorable Parts/shocking moments:ģ) Ristan being the voice of reason and his relationship with Synthia.ĥ) The scene in Sidhe Darklands when Synthia goes into Transition.Ħ) Every time Ryder comforts and protects Synthia when she needs it.ĩ) Something being better than chocolate :Oġ1) Every time Adam name calls Ryder in his chapter.ġ2) Ristan’s preference for heart consumption.ġ4) Every uncharacteristicly gentle and kind thing Ryder does for Synthia.Ģ8) I never thought I’d feel so much for Ryder almost dying.Ģ3) When Syrina visits Syn in her ‘dream’ – how was that possible?Ģ4) Syn binding herself to the Horde king.ġ) When Ryder spoke of love in Fighting Destiny, it implied that he knew such a thing first-hand but he claims to not be capable of feeling it at all in this book – if so, what purpose did that speech in FD serve if he knew nothing about love? – always niggled me this has. Although I have my issues with certain characters, the outline of the story, the way it was strategised and the impact it had on me can only allow me to give it nothing less than a 5 star. New castes of the Fae are exposed amongst Faery kingdom rivalries, and with the ever - thickening breadth of the plot, it was another gripping read from start to finish. I like the pop culture references this series highlights and how soundtrack heavy it is. The lewd humour and sarcasm adds its own dimension, and so much happens in a very short space of time without being troublesome to follow, only propelling the risk factor.
Synthia is just as quirky, charming and frank as I remember, her banter with all is one of my favourite aspects of reading in this series. We learn a lot more of the Fae history, politics and the twining of Celtic mythology in this narrative. It was rich with speculation, deceit, confliction, the spectrum of emotions spreading a wide net and the characters enticing to read – one of my absolute favourites being my fellow Demon, Ristan. Although some elements of the story were predictable, the majority of it was not and I was left stunned with what did take place, the twists and the aftermath. It was fast paced, riveting, exciting and tension-filled, exploding with drama.
I loved 'Taunting Destiny' as much as ' Fighting Destiny'.
