Siege of the SevenSins by Emily Colin picks up where Sword of the Seven Sins left off. Eva and Ari managed to escape the Commonwealth and find the Brotherhood...well, what remained of them after the bombing. The romance between Eva and Ari is blooming, but will it be allowed to truly bloom and grow? Or will a demand come that the love be stifled and snuffed out for the sake of the “future” of all?

Eva is keeping secrets. Secrets that she believes will make Ari look at her differently. It’s all thanks to the information that the Executor told her before she escaped. Is what shew as told true? Could he have been lying to her for his own gain? The answer is – it’s possible. But what if he’s not?

Author Colin starts the story off with Eva finding herself in quite a predicament. But it doesn’t stop there. The clock is ticking for her. Her shifts? They’re coming whether she wants them to or not. But she needs a familiar. Someone who will help ground her and give her what she needs. But the danger is hunting them. Persistent as ever the Bellatorum will not back down.

You’re going to find yourself on the edge of your seat more often than not wondering – “What is going to happen next?!” “Will Eva truly let got of Ari like this?!”

When it comes to page-turners this book is one you don’t want to miss out on. The back and forth between Eva and Ari light these pages on fire. You get a front-row seat to their drama as Eva struggles with her own desires, and what she feels is the right thing to do.

The pages of Siegeof the Seven Sins are going to fly by as you devour this book. The author weaves in backstory in poignant places of this book. Readers will get to see the contrast between the Commonwealth and the place the Brotherhood call Vik. The Commonwealth is reflected and shown as stark and stringent. While Vik is shown as something that readers will find familiar and relatable.

In Siege of theSeven Sins readers will get more of the fantasy element that is sparser in Sword of the Seven Sins. Readers will get the introduction of mages, small bits of magic, introduction of new characters, and unique revelations that will keep you coming back for more.

The development of the characters truly helps this storyline move and the characters themselves shine. Author Colin works to help the characters develop and become more than just words on a page. With each word written they come more alive. Readers get Eva’s vulnerability as she struggles with the weight that has settled on her shoulders. She asked for none of the things that she is being faced with, but she shoulders it all with few articulated complaints.

There are moments when we want to be disappointed in her because of the choices that she chooses to make...the choices that she’s willing to make. Yet, we can’t. How strange is that? Ari definitely pushes her buttons though. He pushes all around him as he strives to stay by her side. All he wants is to stay by her side no matter what.

While the characters might be safe for the time being, you’re constantly going to be on edge. You’re going to have the sense that danger is closer than it appears. The big question – “When is the shoe going to drop?” “When will the enemy strike?” “Will it come from within?” “Will it come from the direction...the path that Ari thinks?” “Or will it come from another?” So many questions, right? Hang on to them.

In this book’s pages...there are secrets waiting to be unearthed. Author Colin will drop hints here and there, but the big reveal? It’s waiting still to be discovered. Make sure to keep a hand on your jaw, because it’s going to want to hit the floor.

Where book one ended on a soft cliffhanger, book two is going to leave you with questions, suspicions, and eager for answers. You’ll be chomping at the bit to get your hands on book three.

So, with that being said...what are you waiting for?? This book is waiting to be devoured and book three will be there waiting for you when you’re done. Readers who enjoy young adult, coming of age fantasy novels will not want to miss out on this series.
