But, hopefully everything will clear up in the next books. I was a bit confused by the history in Rift about Conatus, The Circle, and Bosque Mar. I felt like Rift was a bit slower paced than the Nightshade series, but it definitely did not lack in action! There was always something new, mysterious, exciting, and thrilling going on throughout the book no matter what. Although it was not my favorite book by Andrea Cremer it was still an enjoyable read. I instantly requested Rift at my library when it came out and devoured the book. 3Īndrea Cremer is the amazing author of the Nightshade series, so when I heard she was writing a prequel series I couldn’t help but be interested. With action, adventure, magic, and tantalizing sensuality, this book is as fast-paced and breathtaking as the Nightshade novels.
