The White Road Book

I definitely enjoyed this one, and it was a super quick read :)

This is once again the story of Alec and Seregil as they escape their bonds from the previous stories and they do their best to figure out just what magic they have stumbled upon. We follow the duo as they delve into the origins of Alec's family, trying to uncover how his blood and heritage may be of great magical importance. We also see them try their best to understand the new companion they have gained, Sebrahn.

Once again, the relationship that Alec and Sergil have is one that I adore reading about. There was one particular moment that summed things up for me in this book and it's the moment where they are running for their lives and they have a bag on a string across their chest. When they stop it's clear that the bag's string has rubbed the skin raw, so before they set off again Alec makes a strap for Seregil, despite the fact that they are in severe danger, he notices the small hurts to his lover.

This book certainly had a good angle to it with the addition of Markham Cavish again (sp? I audio-booked this so that may not be correct). I loved seeing the band back together, and although they have gone through much and Markham is the only one to truly have aged (not having any Fae blood) he still fits right in tot he group and he proved himself more than a worthy Nightrunner and Watcher.

I will say I think that the story of the previous book is mostly just continued in this one, and so it doesn't feel like its own unique story, but rather the ending of the story from book 4. I do feel like possibly they could have been one book rather than two, but I am always happy reading this series, so I was pleased to just enjoy it anyway :D

Overall, this was another solid read and I gave it a strong 4*s.
