Book
3 opens with the couple of Christian & Anastasia honeymooning in Europe and leaving all their problems at home to fester
unattended.
On
the return home things return to how they were before with Anastasia
questioning her decision and dealing with an increasingly overprotective and immovably
blind Christian. As he refuses to not only open up to her about this past abut
also the current ever increasing threat to their future.
To
use a boxing analogy – just when they are appearing to crumble under the weight
of the others heavy blows(demands for control vs. independence), along come a
Blip of the 10th round that has both retreating to tend to their
respective open wounds and to come out battling with renewed vigour and
ferocity.Christian’s
past also choose to strike with a three-fold assault determined to tear all
their Hopes, Dreams and Future asunder until reaching the earth altering climax.
The
last of the books deals a lot with Control, Independence, Stunted Emotional Growth,
Revenge and overcoming these issues and looking forward to a future that will
be threatened if these issues remain unresolved
To
use another analogy that I used in the last review the wind turbine test tunnel
has hit Mach 1 in this book, as I was on your edge of my seat as the suspense
is interwoven thought out the plot artfully. It’s by no means perfect and the
climax is a bit rushed for my liking .But it did to allow the writer to tie up
everything in a nice ribbon afterwards.
I
noticed that the author eased up on the heavily described sex aspect and had
lot of snapshots of sex without the whole shebang, in order to propel the story
forward. I really like and appreciate that the author made this sacrifice (not
that I am a prude I am all for Steamy Smut or Kinky Fuckery), But I have seen
too many authors sacrifice Plot for Sex Scenes in the past such as Laurell K
Hamilton, Keri Arthur & Charlaine Harris and have promptly fell out of
favour on my reading list for this reason alone.
I finished the book highly satisfied
and had read a majority of it in one sitting.
I’m giving the final book a 4 out 5 as
I found it a great read
As
I read the entire series in less than 14 hours I thought it was highly
entertaining, quick read and I can over look many of its faults on repetitive
language and disjointed scenes (this was formatting issue with my copy more
than the book itself) for this reason. The
Fifty Shades Trilogy a far superior series of books in every way to Twilight
Books which was like a dragged leg like a injured dog makes the faults of bad
grammar, inconsistent writing, bad plotting and irritating angst characters,
all unforgivably in my eyes when the story is dead boring and offers suspense
but then doesn’t deliver.
For
the trilogy as a whole it gets 3.75 stars out of 5 and I’ve order myself a
paperback copy box-set on its release (Twilight didn’t even get a star and I
certainly wont by the books EVER).
