Review: Blade of Darkness

Blade of Darkness by Dianne Duvall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

I absolutely love Aidan's character and always have. Well, honestly at the very beginning I wasn't sure. Once we figured out why he did what he did, I thought he was sweet. It was cute how he ran into the different gifted women. Anyone who hadn't had a deep committed relationship after 3000 years would start to feel empty and alone.

I honestly couldn't stand Dana for most of the book. She was cool towards the end but parts of her character annoyed me. The way she instantly rejected the fact that Aidan could read minds. He didn't say that he could in a boastful way and I felt like since it was hard for people to believe that she was psychic, I felt she should have been more understanding. After seeing everything that she saw from touching him, and once the fight happens with Roland, she should have believed that anything was possible. Was she really so full of herself to believe that she was the only psychic in the world? Please. Then once she finds out about vampires she's all "Vampires are fictional." and "Don't you think everyone would know if vampires really existed?" Then she stupidly cuts herself so that he could prove to her that he could heal people.

Another person that annoyed me in this book was Chris. I understand why he felt the way he did. But this was the second time he'd let his personal feelings affect his job. I thought he'd be better about that by now.

This book was definitely intense. Gershom definitely screwed with everyone's head a lot. I feel like it had to get to this point where everyone felt defeated. But it was also good to see Seth and everyone else turn the tables on him at times too. There were some funny parts as usual which was a relief at times. This series is getting more and more intense and I can't wait to see what happens next.
