I was thrilled when the this book was released. I've read the entire Vesturon Series and this back story about Rowan and Annalise and how they met was like cheese cake with strawberries drizzled all over it. A sweet, tasty morsel to satisfy my craving for more.When Rowan first lay eyes on Annalise, he was a goner. But when he approached her, she discouraged his advances.First-Born and lower-born were not allowed to fraternize and Annalise could lose her job, or maybe worse if caught even speaking to Rowan.But Rowan is not to be denied and sets out to change the out of date , prejudicial laws set by the Council of Elders, not just for him, but for everyone. Even standing up to his father, the Great Ruler of Vesturon.I tore through this book in about an hour, not pausing until the end.I admired Rowan and his fight for change. He was dogged in his determination and so tender with Annalise.Annalise will melt your heart like she did Rowan's when he gazed into her eyes. She's gentle but not timid and supports Rowan's fight.It was also interesting to read about Rowan's training as a Guardian. It was very brutal and reminded me of what soldiers go through in our special forces elite units.I couldn't imagine being tortured until I broke, and that's knowing that they really won't kill you. Scary stuff.Now that I've read Beginnings I just may have to read the whole series again. I remember just how much I love this world and its many characters.When you read The Guardian's of Vesturon series you'll see how these two loving people instilled their self-confidence and strong beliefs in their children.
