Reckless
Reckless
Darci’s Review
Reckless is a beautiful blend of forbidden love, betrayal, and grief. Explored through the points-of-view of Paedyn, Prince Kai, and King Kitt, Roberts’ skillfully develops the tension between Paedyn and Kai, and explores the subtle rivalry between brothers.
With the King of Ilya dead, Kitt and Kai bear the grief of his death in vastly different ways. Rumours swirl, declaring the newly crowned Kitt as mad, which reach him as he holes up in his study, refuses food, and endeavours to make sense of Paedyn and her involvement within the Resistance. Kai’s grief is not only tied up with his father's death but also with his feelings for Paedyn. Paedyn escapes through the scorching desert to the town of Dor, but soon learns that a life of freedom is far from her grasp. With the combined threat of Kai’s closeness once captured, and the massive bounty placed on her head, Paedyn realises that the power of the Elites is not the only danger she has to face. Although Paedyn has displayed the uncanny ability of endurance in the past, the consequences of her actions will prove to be inevitable. Will love persevere, or will duty be victorious?
Roberts' second installment in her fantasy trilogy is an engrossing sequel to Powerless.
