Classified as fantasy, adult, YA, and fiction this one has it all but only if readers are open to the idea as it's not the normal thriller you may have come to enjoy.While it does have thrilling moments it's more about the meaning behind the scenes or so it was with me as I read this new work by James Patterson.
It's not everyday you read fantasy from this author yet I was transported to a magical land in which surely things don't go as planned.
While Sophia is battling for independence as the two main villains Ares and Reiper are set to end this magical experience for all.
For those who are sensitive to darkness and horror there is animal cruelty, attempted rape, and murder in this novel.
In addition there is the connection between the living and the dead with monsters, evil villains, and the like as she battles a plague, attention from Raphael, and the ill equipped Ares to become Queen.
Ahhh fantasy life is short lived as she succumbs to it all as Ares marches closer to the castle.
Afterwards she's transported to the other world where spirits go while the plot continues to thicken while reuniting with her dead mother.
Forced marriage to one of Ares's friends is not in her cards as her heart belongs to Raphael so she fights teaching others about rebellion.
Reiper wants non of it and kills the King only to have the castle overcome by peasant mobs who decided to rebell.
While this may bounce around it's for me the classic Patterson marker of why he is a storyteller not just a writer.
Follow along...follow along...
Not everything is made to make sense folks that's why it's labeled FANTASY!
Sit back and enjoy and don't think too much into it all.
