BLURB:
Stripped of his magick and exiled to Earth, Solin Felwing vows to redeem himself. He committed a lot of bad for “the greater good” and the only way to make up for it is to give back to those he stole from. Incognito, of course, to avoid being brought to justice by humankind.
Solin volunteers at a soup kitchen, but his redemption is thrown into disarray when his best friend Jemier arrives to profess his love. Sam, Solin’s one-man support group and only human friend, thinks Solin deserves better.
When old enemies resurface, Solin fears his attempt to change is over for good. He could easily wipe his foes from existence—if he had his magick. Saving his friends—and himself—means compromising in new ways, but the temptation to sin remains. Everything could change in a flicker
REVIEW:
I debated whether to make this a 4 or a 4.5 all night and I ended up going with 4.5 because once you really get into this story, there’s so much going on. Lies, murder, deception, betrayal, not knowing who to trust and so much more. My issues were that this is a HUGE cliffhanger, and there are some parts to this that are kind of slow at times.
Solin, I have to admit, captured me from the beginning. He didn’t deserve the life he got. He didn’t deserve to be treated the way he did. He was a prince. And he had an older brother who should have been there to protect him and help him, but he tortured him and abused him and the short amount of friends he had. And the sad part is, he couldn’t trust most of the ‘friends’ he had. Just one. But after being falsely accused of something he didn’t do, he now has to make up for things to pay for what he’s taken away. I hated the life he had to live. The things he had to go through. It wasn’t fair that he had to take responsibility for someone else’s actions.
And now, the past is coming back to haunt him, and the friends he truly has made, are in danger as much as he is. And trying to explain things just makes it worse. So I’m curious to see what’s going to happen next. Because he’s being hunted and it’s not a pretty picture. And again, no one seems to want to defend him the way he should have been all along.
It’s a wild ride in this book. So many people you want to hate so bad because of how they act and the things they let happen. But hopefully, Solin will be able to make things better. And soon.
