Every scenario left was just plain awful.C.J. (As of writing this review on 11/15/14 I am currently 108 pages into the conclusion to the series.) Let’s see how this all wraps up because by the ending of Deception everything was looking pretty bad. (And I had plenty of gripes with Defiance.) But the whole story is intriguing enough for me to power through the third and final book, Deliverance. Deception was good and I flew through it in a day, but it doesn’t have as much originality as the first book. Rachel needed to get her act together about being honest with Logan. Be warned: this book contains nightmares, hell-bent revenge, murdered little boys, and the saddest poisoning I’ve ever read about. Long journeys with a mass of tense people are far from enjoyable because everyone is at at one another’s throats, and there is plenty of nasty stuff that happens along the way. (Seriously, there are like three separate armies after Logan.) But there is also the Commander–excuse me, ex-Commander of Baalboden–and he’s out for revenge, as is another person… The book is pretty fast-paced but gets a bit repetitive after a while. They possess technology that can control the Cursed One (dragon), a device that every city seemingly wants for their own. Without getting spoilery, the protagonists Logan and Rachel lead a group of former Baalboden citizens through the Wasteland. Redwine introduced a bunch of named characters at the beginning of the book as suspects, and while I did correctly guess who the traitor was, it took me a good long while to figure it out.ĭeception was mostly a road trip. One of Deception‘s strongest points was the element of mystery–who was the traitor and what was their motive? C.
