Pride and Perdition by Kaye DraperMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Short and powerful
There’s something so captivating about this series. It should leave me frustrated because the books are so short, but they come out so quickly I don’t have time to be annoyed.
This book covers the rescue of Oisin. Oisin has been taken by his evil Fae King father in order to drain his powers. Derek White (the demon) has said he will help get Oisin back but it will take time for everyone to train to get up to strength. This delay of course drives Gesa in particular to distraction. Our protective and very anger driven gryphon is is blaming herself for Oisin being taken and Hisashi thinks Gesa blames him for Oisin being taken. Somehow they all have to work through their pain and anger and pull together as a team to take on the fae.
I think my favourite character in this book is Kai, the Kraken. She is ancient and grabbed onto Gesa and her pride so quickly and passionately it would be easy to dismiss her as sex driven and impulsive, but she is wiser than she appears. She is able to see clearly how everyone feels about each other and is able to nudge each one into the path of working this things out. Sometimes it’s more of a sledgehammer than a nudge though!
I do love the way Kaye Draper creates this wonderful web of interactions and emotions between all the characters, both within the pride and outside of it. It’s complex and beautiful.
I can’t wait for the next one....well apparently I’ll have to wait until 31st July, but that isn’t *that* far away!
