My Thoughts:
I loved, loved, LOVED this book. It was an
electrifying read. Endless Knight picks up where Poison Princess leaves off;
Evie has made her first kill by turning into the Red Witch. Evie and her
friends are continuously on the run from bagmen, militia and cannibals. It is
very interesting how the flash changed the world and fascinating why there
aren’t many women left. I definitely liked this installment better that I did
Poison Princess.
In Poison Princess, we see flashes of Death
and how evil he was from what Evie can remember or told by Matthew. But in
Endless Knight we learn a lot more about Death and his hardships (and of course
his first name) and I must say I fell head over heels for him. I am officially on Team Death! Don’t get me
wrong, I still like the Cajun but there is something about Death that made me
fall for him; he is complicated and misunderstood among many things. I loved
the chemistry between Death and Evie. It is heart pounding and electric, like
you never know what is going to happen next in their relationship. One thing I
must say is that both Death and Jack are 100% devoted to Evie so it will
interesting to see what happens in the love triangle.
We also learn more about the Arcana and the
Tarot Cards in Endless Knight. To me, this aspect of story makes the book so
unique. This installment was fast paced, and consuming and I just wanted more.
I was so impatient sometimes with the pace of my reading that I would peak and
try to see what would happen next (I know very bad of me). But I just needed to
know what was going to happen. As time passes, we see Evie slowly getting stronger
and it shocks me still the things she can do with her powers. If I were one of
the Tarot Cards, I definitely would want her to be one of my allies.
The third book, Dead Winter, is already out
and I am afraid to read it because I know there will be a cliffhanger at the
end of it. I’m not sure I can wait another year to read the fourth book.
Kresley Cole (please if possible) write faster. This is such an awesome series!
My Rating:
5 out of 5 stars
