The Heart of Betrayal deserves a 9.9 out of 10 rating
This novel had everything a novel needs to be an almost perfect rating. It was an amazing sequel to The Kiss of Deception. Along with having an amazing storyline, heart throbbing characters, and a brilliant writer behind it all.
As I read along, every chapter became better than the previous one. Once I had gotten halfway through, there was no putting the book down until I finished. I liked the storyline in this one more than I did in The Kiss of Deception; which I never thought could be possible. The Heart of Betrayal had a little bit of everything. There were times of laughter, sorrow, suspense, heartache, and romance. Also this book kind of ended on a some what cliff hanger, so I am eagerly awaiting the final book.
Where do I even begin for my love towards the Characters. Yes, parts of this book would definitely be considered to be a love triangle. Though parts of me feel as though its a love triangle that is leaning towards one boy more than the other. It also saddens me, because unless something changes in the third; which I mean is always possible. I believe I am on the side of the boy who won't be with her in the end. However, I guess I will just have to wait for the final installment in this series. I didn't say any of the names because I don't want to spoil it for those who have not yet read the book yet. In this book I believe that there was a lot of personality development for almost every character. It's weird to admit this, but in some scenes I felt sorry for the Komizar even if he was portrayed as the antagonist. Lia also showed tremendous strength throughout this novel. I think I liked her even more in this one. Overall great job on the characters.
Mary E. Pearson is such an amazing writer. She definitely knows where to pull readers in. I liked her writing style a lot. I also found that there were no parts in either of her novels where the story kind of lagged. She also did a brilliant job at writing the characters as well.
In Conclusion this book was absolutely stunning and I highly recommend it to those who read the first one, also to those who enjoy fantasy & YA reads. Though I do caution those who don't particularly like love triangles. When you do pick this novel up, I wish you a happy reading.
