“Trust me.”
He didn’t break the violently intimate eye contact. “It’s too late for me, Ivy. Focus your energies on the ones you can save.”
“Insanity, blood-soaked death, murderous aggression, this is who the Psy were before Silence. No other race, it is said, bred more vicious, more intelligent, or more sadistic serial killers. But worse was the clawing madness that destroyed so many of them, saints and sinners alike, until it became known as the flip side to their incredible psychic gifts.”Throughout the series, the character development has been amazing. Real people who you can relate to and engage with. And with each book, the story-line is filled with sub-plots that entwine seamlessly with the main plot.
We learn about his childhood, his connection to Aden, now leader of the Arrows.
Ivy Jane, a Psy empathy who had gone through a voluntary reconditioning when she was sixteen, which almost wiped out her Psy-mind, had been taken by her parents, who had hidden and protected her together with other Psy people with the same problem of their fracturing of Silence.
”The day I feel, is the day I die.” – Vasic tells Ivy.Ivy has survived a lot in her life through strength and determination. She sees more beneath Vasic’s façade.
She is determined not to give up on Vasic. She will fight for him, do anything to help him to make him happy. To be with him on his journey to overcoming the fear that he’s not worthy and finding the way to forgiving himself.
I loved seeing the growth of their relationship. That against all odds, two people, flawed but strong are able to find happiness together.
Another thing I really liked was seeing how their relationship affected everyone in their lives. How their happiness meant so much to the people who loved them.
Loved the appearance of some of my loved characters….Hawke, Sascha, Lucas, Judd and many others. I so enjoy finding more about how their lives have progressed since reading their stories.
The twilight of 2081 will be forever remembered as the time when Silence fell in a crash of violence brutally leashed by the furious abilities of the most powerful Psy in the Net. With the fall comes a hush across the world, as the Psy race seeks to understand who they are in this new reality where emotion isn’t a crime punishable by a vicious psychic brain-wipe, and the heart is no longer an organ simply used to pump blood. For though Silence was a deeply flawed construct, it existed for a reason.
