This was all sorts of fabulous and I was absolutely salivating to get started here.
I had a couple to read on my list before this and it nearly killed me to wait but the anticipation definitely lived up to my internal hype and I'm all sorts of digging "King of Shadows" and would go as far as to say this is my stand out series so far this year.
This begins exactly where we left things in the previous instalment and Lydia still seemed very fearful and wary where it concerned Aon and his unknown intentions towards her, while this was an understandable reaction from her I did want her to come to the realisation faster that despite his violent actions in her dreams he had never harmed her in any real physical sense.
Not only that he also assured her repeatedly that he has no plans to do so considering her fragile human state.
So Aon, (that is who I am concentrating on in this review as Lydia got the stage last time around) well he does so love his mind games and employs this strange quirk of his constantly around Lydia. Sometimes throwing all etiquettes and rules to proper social behaviour and norms out of the door.
Aon certainly dances to his own piper and does seem mostly unaware of his unusual and improper conduct around others.
There is at times an almost devilishly wicked but almost fun vibe to Aon's encounters with Lydia its almost like he finds her a breath of fresh air in his long mundane existence, an anomaly, if you will, one he is compelled to analyse and dissect (metaphorically of course)
"King Of Shadows" was very slow burn in nature and also wasn't that graphic, when it comes to the encounters between Lydia and Aon a lot is left to your own imagination this was not an issue for me at all: the chemistry here was still through the actual roof and pulsated off the page I could still feel the carnal tension and developing emotion between Lydia and Aon in actual spades.
I mentioned previously how much I adored Lydia now Aon also gets the seal of approval from moi.
He is just so wickedly delicious with a large hint of bad that just left me panting in his wake, Lyd never really stood a chance here.
I also should mention that the old world prose and descriptions of this fantastical new world were so vivid and real that I could actually picture Under in my mind.
I felt like I had been dropped into an episode of The Twilight Zone or even a very macabre alternate wonderland.
So let us talk about Aon's supposed madness: well this to me came across as a somewhat forgetful and eccentric nature more than likely brought about by his advanced age rather than any insanity or psychosis itself, I actually found this an extremely endearing and somewhat charming quality to him: In fact, there were even times that Aon reminded me very much of a gorgeous and delicious Mad Hatter.
So, this has some of the best world building ive experienced to date, it was brilliant and just ever so entertaining indeed.
The old world prose mixed with a huge dash of steampunk just worked for me on every level.
The writing itself is also second to none and I devoured every single word, this really was in a league all of its own and that ending, my god I need that next book like right now people.
This series so far has been amazing and I'm sorry for my waffling on but I am just so in love here.
Think its a tad obvious by now that this one definitely gets my stamp of approval.
So before I toddle off On a side note, I really did appreciate that sneak peek of book three very much appreciated.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of "King Of Shadows (The Masks of Under #2)"
