Review: Great Start To a New Trilogy

The next Jason and Azazel trilogy picks up with Azazel being a little older and a little wiser. In trademark Chambers style, it's full-throttle edge-of-your-seat from page one. Intensely psychological, relentlessly introspective, The Stillness in the Air is full of action and brutality and hope and grace. It's the end of the world, and Azazel has supposedly moved on. But Jason can never seem to let her go. As the world descends further into chaos, they both have increasing powers. And they're still drawn together, by circumstances if not by choice. I love the way Chambers interrogates the nature of true love by showing its darkest and most primal side.I loved this book. It was just as riveting as the last series. It was really interesting to see the characters in radically different circumstances, and the impact this had on their behavior and feelings for each other. We get to meet some new characters, like Azazel's bodyguard/boyfriend Kieran. We also see some old favorites in surprising new roles, like Marlena, Hallam, Chance, and Sutherland. Once I picked it up, it was really hard to put down. This is a must read for fans of the series.
