Summary (from Goodreads):
Fans asked for it, and now they've got it! Andrea Cremer is continuing
the story she began in in her internationally bestselling trilogy: Nightshade,
Wolfsbane and Bloodrose. In this new installment, Bosque Mar haunts the dreams
of both Adne and Logan, trying to escape for the Nether, where Calla, Shay and
the other Guardians trapped him in the final battle in the War of All Against
All. Will he turn Adne to the dark side? Will Logan reclaim his birthright? And
will darkness take over our world?
Review:
This
is one of those books I had to take a deep breath and brace myself for before
reading. Andrea Cremer blew me away with her debut novel, Nightshade when I first started blogging. I raved about this book,
but I became increasingly frustrated with the characters and at the end of that
series, I was heartbroken. Destroyed. In the worst way possible.
And
then I heard a little rumor about this book that gave me this flutter of hope. And
since it happens in the beginning of the book, I don’t see it as spoilery:
Ren
is ALIVE.
Sort
of. We’ll get to that. But Ren plays a huge part in Snakeroot and I’m sure the rest of the series. For you Ren fans,
that may be reason enough to pull you back into this incredible world that
Cremer has created. But there’s more.
This
obviously takes place after the events of the original Nightshade trilogy. And
while we were stuck in Calla’s head for that series, Cremer pulls back and we
get a glimpse of the bigger picture and see what’s happening in this world now
that things have fallen apart. Adne is a huge part of the reason Ren is back,
and I feel like this will be Adne’s story—Adne is Ren’s half-sister, for those
who may have forgotten.
My
heart is still fragile after the way it was crushed my last time around with
Cremer. But I’m willing to give this a go because I adore the way Andrea Cremer
writes a story and creates a world. It’s magic and beautiful and so vivid. Everyone
needs to go read this. Read and adore Cremer’s books, and know that the Ren
fans now have hope.

My heart was a bit crushed after that series ending so I don't know if I'm willing to venture into that world again. However, she's a fun author so I really do like her stories... It's a dilemma.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to read the series then forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. I need to get started over the holidays so I can get to this new take.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is that I haven't read any of these books (*I know, I know*). Glad you love them though :)
ReplyDeleteMy heart was totally crushed after Bloodrose too, and I'm so happy that wasn't the end of the story for Ren. I really enjoyed this, and I love being back in this world. Glad to hear you enjoyed it too! I just hope she doesn't burn us again at the end of this series. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, cool post. I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real hard work to make a great article… but I put things off too much and never seem to get started though i wrote these articles :
