Hawksong (The Kiesha'ra Series #1) Book

All right, what do we have here?

A conundrum, of course.

My mind kept oscillating between 3.5 or 4 stars and I'm choosing neither. This book is actually very difficult to rate! The reasons?

1) It has a splendid story line.
Who doesn't love shape - shifters with a history? I simply love history and ancient stories and this book had quite a lot of them. But I was so disappointed because the execution of this splendid story line sucked. A lot.

This story is about two warring sides who try their best to stop the never - ending war. Correction - the leaders of these two sides try their best to stop the war. Not the people. So, I was cool with the plot. It sounded interesting and it was interesting until everything dropped somewhere in between.

2) Existence of an awesome male lead made this book even more difficult to rate.
You're wondering who? It's Zane Cobriana! Okay, I simply loved him. Just because he sounded badass even though he has red eyes. But, like I mentioned he was awesome before everything dropped somewhere in between.

3) This book was addicting
Even though everything dropped somewhere in between, I couldn't put this book down. I was just drawn to this book or Zane to be exact but one character isn't enough for me to fall for this book.

So, what the hell happened somewhere in between?

If you really want to read this book, I would advise you to skip this part because it does contain one teeny tiny spoiler. But if you really want to know what you're getting yourself into, then I would advise you to read this part.

Okay. Remember two warring sides? Remember the leaders want to end this never - ending war? Okay, so how do they try to end it? Of course, the only conclusion they can come up with is marriage.



Alight, I was okay with that. Maybe, something interesting would happen. But no. NO! What does happen is...
Zane isn't happy with Danica (By the way, she's the main character and I would say she was quite boring)
Zane is making out with someone else because he's lonely
Zane is trying to love Danica
Zane finally in the end, has fallen for Danica

That's all that happened. I was crushed beyond words. I mean, why couldn't Zane remain badass till the end?

Was it so hard to remain badass, Zane? Was it all a ruse to pull readers in and then, kick them so hard in the end making them realize how just not badass you are?

I thought they'd be a lot of kidnapping involved in this book. I don't know why. I thought Zane would kidnap Danica and threaten her side and stuff like that but alas all that is left up to my imagination :( Also, I don't think I'd read the next installment. My poor heart can take only so much.
