I love the family dynamics as much as I always did, I love her power and the way in which her modus operandi differs from her older sister. I thought Catalina was an incredible new main character and I love her. I always love Ilona Andrews’ particular mix of kickass women, snark, great world building, and incredibly binge-able writing style. I obviously love this but you know what I do not love? The absolutely brutal cliffhanger and the fact that I now have to wait until at least 2021 to find out how this is going to be resolved. I managed to hold of reading the first two books until the week the second full novel in the continuation of the brilliant Hidden Legacy series released and then I basically inhaled them. The Catalina Baylor Trilogy (Hidden Legacy #3.5, #4, #5) by Ilona Andrews I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I have said so before but it is worth saying it again: if this series wasn’t primarily romance focussed, Singh would be one of the authors always recommended when impeccable world-building is discussed. I am very excited to see where Singh takes the story next as this book indicates some far-reaching changes. They are, however, not my favourite and I enjoyed the parts concerned with the larger political developments more. Ethan and Selenka are an interesting and believable couple and I bought into their relationship immediately. Singh explores a new dynamic here with a mating at first sight and while this for sure is not my favourite trope, I thought she pulled it off. But, if like me you enjoy these books (or if you like romance and interesting sci-fi-esque fantasy worlds and haven’t read any of her books, I really recommend you remedy that!), you will be pleased to hear that her latest (the 19th full-length novel in her Psy-Changeling universe) is as great as we all hoped. I have read more than 20 books by Nalini Singh in about 18 months, I love what she does with her world building and I nearly always adore the couple she centers in each of these books.
There was very little chance of me not enjoying this book – therefore it feels necessary to begin this review with a disclaimer.
