Nog beter dan het eerste deel

After I finished White Horse Black Nights by Evie Marceau I immediately wanted to read the sequel, because that book was so great, a really fantastic read, it was one of the best books I had read.

Now that I have read the sequel: Silver Wings Golden Games I want to read the next novel in the Godkissed Bride series. In Silver Wings Golden Games the tale of Sabine and Wolf pickes up after the events in the first book. Wolf/Basten is still very love obsessed with Sabine, but she is engaged to Rian, though against her will. She has an understanding with Rian, but cannot escape her feelings for Wolf. And a war is brewing, Fae beasts are waking up and the King is dying (or is he?).

Right from the first I was completely hooked. The writing style is mesmerizing, fast paced and flowing and the dual POV (Sabine and Wolf) makes this book so fantastic. This series is so addictive and I could not stop reading. Wolf is still the warrior, he loves violence, and the way Evie Marceau made him despite his love for violence so available is just great. She has created a wonderful likable violent character. Sabine dreams of running away with Wolf, but as she is godkissed she has formed an uneasy alliance with Rian, while she learns what she can do and who she really is. The love triangle between these three is written so well by Evie Marceau, you get to understand Rian as well, even though he is not always a nice person. Rian is very ambitious, but others are as well and he has to navigate this not to lose it all. All three main characters come across so well, they just leap off the pages and you root for all three, even though only one can have Sabine.

The worldbuilding that started in White Horse Black Nights gets more developed in this book. Evie Marceau builds the world further and you can see it before your eyes. At some point I did not want to end this book, so I started to read slower, but as the writing style and plot is so addictive, that was a losing game.

Silver Wings Golden Games is even better than the first book. There is the mythology about Fae beasts and sleeping but now awakening dangerous Fae, romance, betrayal, magic, danger, violence, mystery, and there are so many twists and turns that I kept glued to the pages. The betrayal for the crown is a great twist in an already engrossing fantasy mystery. And near the end there is this massive plottwist I did not see coming at all! There are enough questions that need answers. The cliffhanger at the end makes me want to read the next book now, because what happened there?? And how will things work out between Sabine, Rian and Wolf?

If you want to lose yourself in a fantastic novel, with a great and fast paced writing style, characters that leap off the pages, with many plottwists, great worldbuilding, unique powers: run, don’t walk to your bookstore and start reading this series.

Highly recommended!
