The Sins of Desire by Auryn HadleyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Title Says It All
This book continues Sia’s story. The book focuses mainly on her struggles with her feelings towards the members of her legion. There is a lot of discussion about it. Initially I felt that it was a bit overdone, but as time went on I realised that if someone had to completely upend their entire belief system in a matter of months, you would need a lot of thinking and talking about it. I loved one of the guys telling her;
"You come from a world where women are ruled by shame. Shame that you aren't pretty enough, smart enough, loyal enough, or anything else. You could sum all of that up as 'not good enough.' It colors every decision you make - for now."
It made it clear that they understood her doubts in the context of the society she’d been brought up in.
The continuing focus of the story was the war between the demons and angels and how that affects the middle realms. The First Legion doesn’t want the angels to continue causing war and pain in order to feed their desire for convenient technologies.
I really loved how the characters developed within this book, especially getting to see more of Bel and Ron. Both are wonderful characters; loyal, sweet and kind. There were quite a few POV throughout the book and I really enjoyed seeing those different ways of looking at the story.
This series continues to be engaging and captivating. The world building is complicated and compelling, the characters are unique and fascinating and the plot is a complex wonder that pulls you on, page after page, even when you should be asleep.
I can’t wait to read the next book!
