The Immortal Crown is the 2nd installment in Richelle Mead's "The Age of X" series, with Gameboard of the Gods being book #1. There is way too much going on in this book for me to try to summarize it, so I'll just go straight to the review: I enjoyed this book as much as I did Gameboard. Yes, it's a departure for Richelle Mead since it's adult fiction and not young adult fiction, but it was just as good. There really was a lot going on, though, which got a bit confusing at times, trying to keep all the different people and all their different stories straight, but overall, it was a very good story. It goes without saying that it was well written, as all of Ms. Mead's books are, with great character development, but I think some streamlining would have helped with the pacing. All in all, though, I enjoyed this book very much. Highly recommend - 4 out of 5 stars. *** I would like to thank PENGUIN GROUP Dutton and Richelle Mead for the opportunity to read and review this book. Justin and Mae are back, in a second, fantastic adventure. All the plots keep thickening, even as more answers about the gods' jockeying for power are revealed. Several heartbreaking "oh noo!!!!" moments, several sighs of relief, and they just get swept further and further into confrontations and terrifying choices, with the crowned goddess making an appearance (at last!) and some serious plot twists keeping the whole story rolling. Riveting! And yes, the cliffhanger is killing me. Advanced reader copy provided by edelweiss. Action, Multi Cultural, Mythologies, Power Struggles, Zealots and Addictions and Fantastic Characters. More action, more revelations and more powers and more game play than I've seen a book for a while. I was a bit lost. I hadn't read the first book so it took me a while to connect to this world. After about 30 % it all started to form together and I loved it the gods the power struggles the back room games. Illegal religions being taken down was a interesting plot line. Justin with his issues and Mae with her strength made a nice pair or characters to read, and there is more building between them. Flawed realistic characters always win with me. A very well done book but I would recommend reading book one first. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Age of X (2)
"The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Academy and Bloodline series returns with the second installment in her acclaimed Age of X series. Gameboard of the Gods introduced religious investigator Justin March and Mae Koskinen, the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him. Together they have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect-special humans marked by the divine-are turning against one another in bloody fashion. Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin's old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA's dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity. Meanwhile, Mae-grudgingly posing as Justin's concubine-has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter's connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission-and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

You follow Justin and Mae as they travel away from their home and into a foreign land. Will they or won't they finally have a romance going? It keeps you on your toes but doesn't make you scream "Hurry up already". A perfectly timed out novel!
Tessa also becomes more of a major character in the story. While I found her parts to be a little boring at times, I believe that the next book will make her into a more interesting character!
I cannot wait and I am bouncing on my seat to read the next book in the series! I'm to anxious! I can't wait another year!
Five out of five stars! Absolutely breath taking!
Also, the last page gives you a wonderful cliffhanger. A nice little wink at mythology there. ( )
