The others who had to be called, Xevikan, Livia and Yrre. Grim, Bane and Laguerre who live permanently earthside. That said the ignorance is in line with Nick’s knowledge base so it does fit.Īll right have a dump of notes because otherwise, this review becomes obscenely long. That conversation between Xev and Mennie gets complicated fast even knowing the players. But I really wish there were family trees for some of these characters somewhere. I really enjoyed this it moves at a good pace and doesn’t try to do anything too smart. It gives some idea of where this might be going and Ambrose’s shocking appearance was not a good sign. And the plot does well to display the characters in different lights. CoN books seem to have simplistic plots but the plot is not the point of them, they are character and lore driven. The plot boils down to Nick working with his allies to save Cherise and Caleb and deciding whom he can trust. All the characters in play, the changes in the world in dynamic and the new pieces of lore to deal with. There is a lot to digest coming out of this. But there is one line I found interesting “He’d only known it existed for less than two years.” between Infinity and the end of Instinct is less than two years, and there is a year-long gap in there somewhere. At times it feels like it follows on almost immediately from Illusion, at times it feels like some time has passed. I’m not sure entirely where this fits in. That monster of the week was someone I had not even thought of. And this entire book is essentially done with Caleb absent due to the monster of the week. But Caleb’s family is, at best, complicated. While Illusion helps the readers understand Kody and her parentage and family, Instinct deals as best as it can with Calebs. I know that was an unusual start, I needed to get it out of my system. Nick and Xev have one of the best relationships in the series. Fuzzy Boots., of course, Xev hates the name. Though there is something truly musing about seeing Xev as an Egyptian Mau nicknamed Mr. Oh and I’m so pleased with how we’ve met Aeron, I knew of him but not his story. Xev is tortured by that moment and we see it, I want to see more of it because there is trauma there that needs to understood. I love Caleb I do but his inability to listen to Xev’s side of the Liliana disaster makes me want to cry, slap him and then say ‘what would Liliana say to you now’. “To give you an inkling, Gautier, I was the only ancient god born who could kill a Chthonian.”, look he is terrifying powerful and I adore him. A whole lot of the support cast in CoN are heartbreaking but there is something else about Xevikan that is just something else. The quote: You were kind to me and I don’t believe in repaying kindness with cruelty.
