For the Power by Debbie CassidyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Continuation of An Epic Journey
Wow, I feel like I’ve been hit by a 2” x 4”! So much happened in the later stages of the book that I can’t remember what happened at the beginning!
Eva finally works out what the key is that her father gave her. It’s instructions of where to find the cure for the virus. From the bunker that the Fangs have been living in they have the passcodes to get into several more bunkers en route to the location of the cure so they set out to find it.
This epic journey mirrors many of the others that have appeared in Fantasy, Urban Fantasy and Dystopian novels time and time again. It’s utilised so often because it’s a formula that works. A journey takes them into contact with new people, they change locations to come up against new challenging landscapes and dangerous situations and spending time together so closely, in a state of jeopardy, bonds the group together. This formula works in this book, particularly well.
We learn more about Eva in this book as she struggles with the feelings she is developing for some of the people she has met since losing Tobias. She’s conflicted, but as someone points out to her, the landscape of love has changed with the falling numbers of women, compared to men. Plus a single pairing is much more common in human culture than it is in supernatural culture. In this book we see the Reverse Harem start to slowly build.
This is an exceptional series, that I am enjoying tremendously and I’m particularly enjoying the very British swearing!
