Blurb.
I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...
“You know what? I’ve got zero fucks to give when it comes to anything you’ve got to say.”Ah, Daemon, Daemon. I've really missed your asshole-ish self, it is true. Even if many deem your own book unecessary, rest easy, my son, I have enjoyed reading the story once again from your perspective. And I even more enjoyed the fact that we got your POV for all the first three books. Yay, more from me.
Joking aside, I knew I was going to read this book, the moment I came across it on goodreads, because, a) it's Daemon's POV, b) I wanted to have a re-read of the series and c) it's Daemon's POV.
I honestly don't care what you, but I sure as hell enjoyed.
Now to be more specific on ratings.
Obsidian: 3.5 stars
Onyx: 3 stars
Opal: 4 stars
About Obsidian, I knew I was going to be at least a little pissed of at Daemon, so naturally certain parts ticked me off, but it was certainly quite nice being inside his head and seeing everything that was happening at the time from his perspective. Obviously, those ups and downs in his mood and his actions was what pissed me off, but hell, I enjoyed it in the end. Very much.
Now, Onyx. Aaaah... *long suffering sigh* I knew reading Onyx was going to be rather painful because I remember how stupid Katy was during that book. And surprise, surprise, she still annoyed me reading this one as well. And I have to admit to taking Daemon's side on this one. Miscommunication is a nasty bitch and we saw it first-hand in this. Other than that, it was good seeing that other Elder that I had no idea even existed until now (Lydia was her name...?). I still don't remember if we've ever seen her somewhere else.
Anyway, moving on.
Opal is probably my favourite book of the series, I don't know why, be it the ending, be it Daemon's and Katy's relationship evolving, be it Dawson, I just know that I really really love this and it's my favourite from both Kat's and Daemon's POV.
Extra: What was that little tidbit in the end about Luc? Did that seriously happen? That kid is scary. Is it possible we'll ever get any info about him in the future?
Overall, I don't regret reading Oblivion, but on the contrary I enjoyed it. What made me realise though, is if I did a re-read of the original books right now, I probably wouldn't have rated them that high. So I'm just going to avoid that re-read. At least, for now.
Rating for Oblivion:
(Technically, it is 3.5, but I am rounding it up because I can.)
P.S. I also read Shadows yesterday, which is Dawson's and Beth's story, but I am too lazy to write a review here, so I'll just leave a rating.
Rating for Shadows:
(I love Dawson and Beth. They were the cutest together.)
