personal rating:
I liked the book that brings together two genres that I love on one hand the romantic relationship between Hoyt and Glenna and other fantasy, the struggle between good and evil, witches, vampires , time travel, magic, ...
Like all Nora Roberts Trilogies in this first novel introduces us to the protagonists of the later books in a bright and develops in a way that we know both of them as if they were the protagonists.
The love story between Hoyt and Glenna is not well developed. In the first chapters we noticed an attraction between them but in a way going to be fleeting attraction to love something that is highly implausible and that disturbs the reader a bit.
Hoyt is a serious, responsible, loves his family and give his life for his welfare. She feels guilty for what happened to her brother. Glenna
is a strong woman, determined, does not support the protective attitude Hoyt takes her and must continually make things clear.
The secondary characters are great and look forward to reading the following. Global Note
: 8.75
