Thank God for small mercies! I had this copy of The Elven Gods Series Part Two, because if I didn't after the cliffhanger ending of the first instalment in the series I think I would have gone into withdrawal!In part two Sasha has grown as a woman, grown into some of her powers and also has begun to understand just who she really is. Finding out everything you thought was true was a complete lie from beginning to end is a massive amount of knowledge to handle at once but in truth she seems to be handling it all pretty well. With the help of her best friend Connor and her new ally Enya who is quickly turning into her best female friend, she has been able to talk all of her feelings, fears and happiest moments through. Her relationship with Donovan has become much more complicated as his main mission is to protect her (who doesn't want their own personal white knight?) but his arrogance in believing he knows best is getting in the way of their relationship, which makes Sasha feel like she is being held back when all she wants is to be free to explore her new talents, powers and relationships with those around her. His constant jealousy, although in some ways adorable and also exciting can be too much.Donovan struggles a lot in this book, he struggles with his feelings for Sasha which are becoming so strong he is unable to deny the strength of them much longer but the desire to protect what he sees as "his" over powers that making him unpredictable, especially when you factor in when they are getting along and things get very hot and heavy, Donovan is a great catch - sexy, strong and one hunk of a man who know how to kick some serious ass!The coming war puts pressure on them all, not just Sasha and again just like in the The Veil: Dreams Part One Elven Gods Series, Cassandra Burchett has made sure she has continued the theme of ensuring the smallest details have not gone unrecorded enhancing your reading experience. She has remembered that although Sasha is the main character, all of the "sub" or "lower" characters are still very important, with each of them enjoying their own side stories and plots which twist and turn in the main plot. They are layered making them believable as the perfect sidekicks turning them into true supporting characters with meaning.I did truly enjoy reading this series and was again gutted by the cliffhanger ending (tissues are needed throughout the book on standby, I was in tears on more than one occasion) and I am desperate for the third instalment to be published so I can find out just what does happen next! A definite 5 star novel that is a must read!!
