Diamond Fire by Ilona AndrewsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Changing Of The Guard
This is a novella, and it works really well as a crossover point in the Hidden Legacy Series. It’s the point where the narrative baton is passed between the eldest Baylor sister, Nevada, and passes to the middle daughter, Catalina.
The story covers the preparations for Nevada and Rogan’s wedding. In the run up to the wedding, Catalina and Arabella end up organising the wedding. Both sisters are smart and capable, having worked in the family investigation firm for years to earn their allowance.
In addition to planning the wedding, Rogan’s mother asks Catalina to investigate the theft of a family heirloom, stolen from her home, where all her family are staying. Catalina is put into a situation where she is forced to really use her powers properly for the first time.
This book is really interesting because though we know Catalina and about her powers, we don’t know much about her and her history, except in relation to how it affected Nevada. We finally see things from her perspective and it’s really interesting.
Catalina is highly intelligent, but is understandably scared of her powers. She is trying to learn how to use them properly but that means practice, which is hard to do without damaging people.
This book has settled my mind about the change in direction the series is taking as I loved Nevada and didn’t want the focus to change, but reading this book makes me think that reading about this plot-line from Catalina’s perspective might just be a good thing.
