Sianim 4: Wolfsbane


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book may be Sianim #4, but as far as I can tell from the story line, it actually takes place before Steal the Dragon as that's when the missing half of the controlling spells are found, and they're noted as missing near the end of this book. Good to see more development between Aralorn & Wolf. The twist at the end is interesting and somewhat disheartening as not only do we hop from the ae'Magi to Nevyn to the Dreamer, but we then don't get anything more than Aralorn's one early story time about the Dreamer. Makes me wonder if there's another book down this series line as it is supposed to wake up again "sooner than necessary" since it didn't get to feed completely. Also would have liked to have seen more with the Lyon after he woke up rather than just comatose the whole time. The prospect of Wolf coming home to meet the family officially is rather amusing considering he's still technically on the run while being secretly married to their mercenary daughter. Lots of potential for more with these characters.

Sianim 1: Masques


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Not the best book as far as description goes, but still a fun story and a quick read. Aralorn and Wolf are interesting to learn about. Plenty of cracks and action all around. Especially liked when Wolf started coming out of his shell and we really got behind the mask, both figuratively and literally. On to the sequel to see what happens next.

Sianim 2: Steal the Dragon


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Got into this one surprisingly quick given I was a little skeptical reading the back cover. The ending seems a little anti-climatic and leaves you hanging on what happens moving forward in the main budding relationship, but that seems to be this author's habit in many of her books. It was what drove me crazy in When Demons Walk, which is why I looked for this book as another part to the Sianim series. Mostly engaging and a quick read with very likable characters.
