Zenobia, oh, Zenobia. Alone and waiting for Ariq to keep his promise, her captors strike at her heart and the loss and anger stir her to action - it is great to see the woman who still sees herself as fearful act so bravely. And Ariq *sigh* his heart may be iron but he is one of Brook's most romantic heroes, as he works to keep that promise and to convince the woman he admires more and more that she belongs with him.Whenever I read the Iron Seas books, I am so awed by the intricate settings and twists the to world, but I am truly amazed by the people who inhabit that world -they are always so well developed and unique and that means that reading this series I never feel like I am reading the same romance. And the Kraken King is turning out to be one of my absolute favorites because I am really loving Zenobia and Ariq, and I am loving them together. I am so happy that the time for the romantic payoff is at hand and I am not just talking the smexy time -though there is a bit of steam here - but romance that is more substantial than just the attraction that had been drawing the pair together. Though I am looking forward to the other as well, that is if they get a little more time to catch their breath.So, this was a really great episode with lots of excitement and lots of emotion - I am really enjoying the fact that the weekly installments are keeping me immersed in Zenobia and Ariq's adventure and courtship.
