ARGH!!! Why oh why did Revelations of the Soul by J.L. Vallance have to end!?! It was even more addictive than book 1, Deep Into the Soul, and I became a total book zombie the next day as a result of staying up til' my eyes wanted to shut. I couldn't have stopped reading even if I had tried, which I didn't.Things get even more interesting this time around. We spend some time with both The Guild and with The Daemonium, which was freaking awesome.Is it bad that I may like The Daemonium more than The Guild ;)Big changes this time with the characters as well. Some questions where answered and a lot more where asked.Vivi is great as the MC of this crazy awesome series. She is wonderfully sarcastic and it is never boring in her head. She handles everything that is going on around her even in the midst of such crippling emotional pain. She grows a lot in this book and I love how strong she is becoming. It is going to be very interesting to see where Vallance takes her.The Guild and everyone associated with it except for Vivi's friend, Padma, really irritated me this time around. I didn't like all of the secrets that Spiro and the others where keeping from her. However, I do love the secrets revealed concerning Spiro. Who he really is was a welcome shock that I didn't see coming.My feelings for Aeden are very conflicted. I couldn't help but have moments that gave me pause. He is so evil but he has moments where I am not sure if he is necessarily bad for Vivi. There is an affection that he has for her, but it is always slightly off. We learned more about him and I genuinely liked whenever he was around. He is a very interesting character, with more going on than meets the eye. Ultimately we do get a big piece of the puzzle as to who he is and why he is so interested in Vivi and it brings a great twist to the story.I am totally fangirling out over Linux, can't help myself :) There is just something so completely addictively compelling about him. I was literally grinning like an idiot whenever he was around. I liked him in Deep Into the Soul but now I just freaking adore him and desperately need to know more.Calum annoyed me non-stop this time and I am really just over him. But maybe that is just because I like the Bad Boys more *shrug*. Hopefully my feelings concerning him will change in the next book because I miss liking him. He lied to Vivi so much, whether by the orders of others or just by omission and I can't stand it but I really do believe that he genuinely loves her.I absolutely LOVE the world building, characters and mythology that J.L. Vallance has created. Not only is this a great book but it is also turning into a really great series. It does end on a slight cliff hanger but J.L. Vallance is working on book 3, Destruction of the Soul and a novella about Aedan, Corruption of the Soul. Knowing that these two books are coming, leaves me practically tweaking out like an addict anxiously awaiting my next fix.If you haven't picked this series up than you are most definitely missing out.Originally posted on Me, Myself And Books Blog
