A review by tanyad74
The Darkest King by Gena Showalter
4.0
I have been waiting for William's story for a long time. I thought we were finally going to have it with Gillian, so I was a bit disappointed when it turned out they were not a couple. I have to admit though. I really love Puck for Gillian, but I felt kind of sad for William which made me want his book even more.
Now, unicorn shapeshifters with filters. Not what I was expecting. I thought it was kind of strange to throw in such a random type of character this far into the series. That may be a little bit of why she is not one of my favorite female characters of the series. On the other hand, we can't have "normal" for William. He needs to have something spectacular and different.
What really captivated me about the book was learning William's past as well as just what a special type of being he was. There was so much to William and to see it all broken down was so interesting. It wasn't just a love story. I felt like Gena Showalter gave her readers answers to so many William questions. The curse that we have heard so much about was a bit of a disappointment, and the lack of strength to that curse made the romance between William and Sunny kind of take a backseat to all the other information we were being given. I'm still trying to grasp a rainbow unicorn shifter with the Prince of Hell. Not a deal breaker though.
I'm kind of scared after reading the ending. Is this the last we will get from the Lords? I haven't done enough research to know for sure, but I've got fingers crossed that we have more to come. Like Pandora and Hades. I think they need books too. I just don't want to leave this world of kick ass females and hilarious characters.This review was originally posted on Rantings of a Reading Addict
