I liked the twist of Callia's importance to the entire story line and series. Part of me wanted to smack Zander on the side of his head for his stubbornness, but then I wanted to do the same to Callia at times. Overall, I really like them as a couple and look forward to see where the story goes next. ( ) Entwined 3.5 Stars As the Argonaut descended from Achilles, Zander has lived for over 800 years. In all that time, he has exhibited only one weakness: Callia, the love of his life who also betrayed him in the most fundamental of ways. Callia, healer to the King of Argolea, has given up on the life she once dreamed of having with Zander. However, fate has more in store for these seemingly star-crossed lovers because old secrets are about to come to light that may either rekindle the love and passion they felt so long ago, or will destroy them once and for all. Zander and Callia’s second chances romance has tremendous potential. Unfortunately, their emotional connection is completely undermined by the angst, distrust and inability to communicate that characterizes their relationship. They are constantly at odds with one another even after the lies that separated them are revealed, and it is difficult to appreciate them either as individuals or as a couple. Callia, in particular, is a problematic heroine as the choices she made both in the past and in the present are completely incomprehensible In contrast, the secondary characters are far more interesting. The curious animosity between Isadora and Demetrius, the intriguing mystery that surrounds Orpheus’s true nature, and the compelling secrets behind Nick’s scarred facade all indicate that there are some exciting things to come. Moreover, the developments in the ongoing story arc are engrossing. The elements and symbolism of Greek mythology together with the various conflicts (i.e., Atalanta vs. the Argonauts, the Argolean monarchy vs. the council, and the Argoleans vs. Misos) establish a complex and captivating world that I am eager to learn more about. In sum, Entwined is a satisfying read despite its shortcomings and I am looking forward to Isadora and Demetrius’s upcoming showdown. I'm feeling great things about this series after the first two books. This is a little more on the serious side than the Stolen trilogy was, and despite of being a little on the paranormal side, I feel the author's portrait of the characters can be seen on a contemporary romance. I really, really loved Zander and Callia together; don't know if it was because of their past history, which I think is almost always more interesting to see how things develop than when the couple don't know each other previously. It was great to see that all the characters have some kind of connection, beeing it that they're friends, lovers, gods, mortal enemies, sisters or they are just helping some of the characters out. Everything is so entwined here that I feel I know at least a little bit of all the characters mentioned up until this point. Can't wait to read more! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
