Blurb:
A year into the Outlands and life has only become more dangerous and complex for Kitty and her friends. Not only are the Outcasts hunting them, but Charles and Ciara are adamant about returning to the Kingdom to help, forcing everyone to take a side. To make matters worse, the leader of the Outcasts, Quen, has an unrelenting fascination with Thom and Nate that soon reaches horrific heights.
As tensions mount and the group begins to splinter, Riddle comes to Kitty with an unexpected request. A secret. One that makes them inseparable.
Kitty soon finds herself spending more and more time away from Nate and Thom, learning to fight and increasingly drawn into the ways of the Radiants. But Kitty and Riddle’s new bond doesn’t come without complications, and a decision made by the two of them threatens more than Kitty’s relationship with Nate.
My Review:
The fourth instalment in “The Outlands Pentalogy” is 𝑨 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑶𝒇 𝑳𝒊𝒆𝒔 by Rebecca Crunden which narrates the lives of Nate, Kitty and Thom in Outlands. This book is mostly based on the characters and their growth of relationships with others.
This book is from Kitty’s( aka Catherine) pov just like the first book in the series. But there are a lot of changes in her from the first book to this book. Catherine is a soft person who would not oppose the rules of the kingdom while Kitty is a strong woman who faces the horrible consequences of the rules of the Kingdom. I love the way the author had handled the transformation of her character and it was splendid.
Nate is a fierce character who remains the same in all the books in the series. His love for his little brother never diminished not even a little bit. He was overprotective and at sometimes it felt like he was over-controlling whom he loves. That was reasonable because after what they all have been through, he was too afraid to lose Thom and Kitty. He is my favourite character from the beginning.
I expected more scenes between Thom and Charles in this book. But as it was from Kitty’s pov they both rarely appear. That was a little disappointing to me. I loved Charles in the previous book more than here. I don’t like his stubbornness. I loved Kitty’s relationship with Thom, as a best friend she was always there for him. Riddle was a supporting character in this book and I did like him too. God!! I love all the characters in this book.
I haven’t mentioned this before so let me say it now I did love all the names of the places, they were simple and lovely. There are fights and adventures in this book which I loved. As per the title, there were lots of lies in it. One thing I learned from this book is that we should not lie to someone we love because if they know the truth, the love they have for us may not diminish but the trust they have in us will surely be broken and once broken it will never be repaired again.
This book was a fast paced and I finished it in a day. There was an unexpected twist at the end which I still can’t get over. Couldn’t guess whose pov I would be reading in the next book. But I am so excited and looking forward to it.
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
