Spoilers alert:I was kind of disappointed that we were just introduced to Darcy's Wiccan half and already she's lost that part of herself. It was rather disheartening to witness. And now we are to be introduced to another new side of her in the upcoming book "Savage Possession"? Intriguing, yet I'm not quite sure it's altogether satisfying.I'm glad I waited so long to read this new addition, since the ending left me rather distraught. It wasn't really a 'Cliffhanger' ending per se, but it was very emotional nonetheless.I was also disappointed with the whole prophecy bit of this book. It centered around this powerful warlock Julian who was supposed to be this extremely vicious and unstoppable character, and all it took to defeat him was a single chapter. At least it wasn't until the end that he was defeated, so that was something.Many other factors to this story were drawn out and well played. This definitely helped to stymie the negative effects with the two disappointments I listed above. Also, these were the only real disappointments I had in regards to this book.I was very satisfied that it was no small feat for Darcy to harness even a small part of her power. It always irritates me when a character just learns of some great power she has that is supposed to take "Many years of hard work and practice to harness" and then they snap their fingers and master their gifts in a mere handful of chapters. It was no small feat for Darcy to harness what she did and even that was not very much.Now, I'm not saying that her struggles give me any measure of happiness. I'm simply saying that I'm happy that she STRUGGLES, and yet she still has the strength to actually PERSEVERE through those struggles. It's very character building, I think. It makes me admire Darcy all the more as a character and lends to the belief that she is strong in her own right and through her own determination.I very much approve of the person that Darcy is, and I am very happy to say that I am in her corner throughout her journey. I support Darcy with the utmost confidence and faith that she will succeed in all that she does, simply because she is her. I'm rooting for you Darcy!! And I can't wait to see how you persevere next!!
