Death Wind
Tara Grayce
4/5
The third book in the Elven Alliance series following Essie and Farrendel started off pretty depressing given the ending of the last book. I'm done with seeing these two suffer but I'm glad that it was at least done in a way that didn't destroy the integrity of their romance. It was just done in a heartbreaking way that made me want to just skip till the end.
The progression of time is a little weird for elves- you live a thousand years and decades can pass like weeks. Things are a little different when you're being tortured though, and Farrendel has once again found himself in that unfortunate situation. The bond between him and Essie is strained but at the same time only getting stronger. Obviously he's in a horrible place and he's been there before, he's got PTSD pretty bad. He's a fighter though and all he really cares about is that Essie doesn't suffer as well. They're both constantly fighting for each other.
The beginning of the book was kind of drawn out. I also predicted the ending pretty exactly so that was a little disappointing. Didn't mean there weren't moments that I loved, it was just a little less endearing than the other books in this series. Looking forward to the next one though!
