After reading Soul Oath, I was definitely having some Micah withdrawals. I'm so glad we finally got his POV! I was dying to get inside that sexy, cocky, and stubborn head of his. I loved him before reading his novella and now I love him even more. We get to know more of Micah more in depth through small glimpses of significant moments in his life; both as Mitrus and Micah. We also meet a new character and get some of the romance and action we loved in the first two books. Though it may be short, Cup of Life sure gives you your Micah fill and also leaves you so intrigued you'll be flipping the pages like crazy."Thirty or forty years ago, I wouldn't have stared at the girl in front of me for more than five seconds before charming her into going to bed with me. But this girl... this girl was different." -MicahFor centuries, as Mitrus the god of death, Micah was seen as an unjust, heartless, and selfish god. A god who would do anything and everything to get what he wants. Reborn as Micah, its clear that he has completely changed from the man he used to be. He's now compassionate, caring, loyal, trustworthy, and loving. The complete opposite of who he used to be and a change that everyone who knew the old him can clearly see through his actions and words. It is also extremely evident to everyone around him that Micah did not become this way on his own. But with the help of someone special; Nadine."I hadn't loved anyone in so long. In fact, other than my human parents, I hadn't loved anyone, ever. Did I love Nadine? Maybe. Probably." -MicahGrowing up with loving parents showed him what unconditional love is and their death tore him apart. Once he met Nadine, everything changed. She brought love back to the surface of his heart. Something he hadn't felt for anyone other than his parents. When it came to women, the only thing he's ever felt for them was lust but this time its so much more than that. Micah doesn't really know how to deal with these new feelings and emotions he's feeling for the first time. That coupled with the regret and guilt he feels for all he did in the past, cause him to feel unworthy of being with someone like her."I was a messed up man, with a bad past, and I would never be able to make up for everything, and she deserved to be with a man who was as perfect as she was." -MicahDuring Soul Oath, we saw him try his hardest to stay away from her and not let his feelings for her show. But here we see him reach a point where he just doesn't give a damn and is ready to be with her at any cost. Unfortunately, being with her may just cost him something. Because of the deal he made with Nadine, Micah is now faced with the reality that sooner or later, he will loose Nadine. Micah, not being one to give up easily, will do whatever it takes to not let that happen. He'd willingly go through hell and back just to be with her; to have more time with her if thats what it took. I really don't envy Micah in this book. He goes through some hurdles and also has to make a decision that either way he chooses, someone will suffer the consequences. Its a definite lose-lose situation. This will be one of the most important and difficult decisions he will ever have to make. Both his heart and the fate of the world hang in the balance. Which one suffers, is now all up to him.Overall, Cup of Life is a total must for every Micah fan! Our boy only gets even more irresistible. Yea, I know. I totally didn't think that was possible either ;-). All I know is that I NEED book 3 like now! Because the ending...damn, talk about one hell of a cliff hanger!! I have no idea what I'm gonna do with myself while I wait. I really can't wait to see what his decision will be and how it will affect all involved. I'm also excited to see how the war with Imha goes and what other surprises lie ahead. I'm really hoping we get more of Micah's POV in an epilogue or follow up novella because I just know its gonna be really hard to say goodbye.Other Favorite Quotes:"A prison. That was what this was for her. This situation, this place, this war, the Soul Oath. Her prison." -Micah"She was loyal, just, kind, dedicated, strong, and completely selfless. To me, she was perfect." -Micah
