It’s nice to watch the two of the fall in love without either having to compromise who they are, which is what both fear.Īs for the plot. And of course he doesn’t want to let go of his control. Of course, while he’s her prisoner he can’t do so. Responsibility weighs heavily on him and Sabine is the first person to come along with whom he can let go of his control. Rydstrom is utterly dedicated to his people. Ooh, Regin and her berserker? I’m so there when it happens.) And there are still couples in earlier books I’m still waiting to hear more about. I can’t wait for Lanthe and her Vrekener’s story. (Okay, another of Cole’s gifts is making me eager for future couples. Still, she makes no excuses: her goal is the survival of her and her sister Lanthe, no matter the cost to anyone else. She’s come back from death a number of times, which twisted her mind.
Now Sabine wants to bear his child and rightful heir, and denies him pleasure until he marries her.Ĭole treads the line of making Sabine likeable but not good. Centuries ago Omort took Tornin and deposed Rydstrom from his throne. Sabine, half-sister to Omort the Deathless, captures Rydstrom just as he’s about to gain a weapon that can kill Omort. Like Dark Needs at Night’s Edge, this one has a darker tone.
It’s a little difficult for me to say since I have read both, but I believe Kiss of a Demon King would be perfectly accessible to someone new to the series. Kiss of a Demon King occurs during the same time frame as Dark Desires After Dusk, so it enriches the experience to read both. One thing I admire most about Kresley Cole is the fact she can write a book that stands quite well on its own but still ties in tightly to a series. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t an utterly fabulous book that I want to reread so bad despite the fact I have a giant pile of books I want to read for the first time. For me, Kiss of a Demon King didn’t reach the soaring heights of Dark Needs at Night’s Edge or Dark Desires After Dusk. And Limecello and I are very far apart in the what-we-read spectrum. No really, Gwen, Devon, Shannon C., Limecello, and I read them. Here at the Pond we lurve The Immortals After Dark series. Paranormal romance released by Pocket 20 Jan 09 Liviania’s review of Kiss of a Demon King (Immortals After Dark, Book 6) by Kresley Cole
