Chain of Illusions Bringer and the Bane Boone Brux 9781622660377 Books

I liked this universe and I liked these books even if I felt typical fantasy is usually a bit more polished. Everyone has to start somewhere. There were things never addressed that bugged me because I am a fantasy and scifi reader. No one ever mentioned light. No one mentioned where food came from, just that the had it. We got baths but a lot of little details that would have made the story interesting we left by the wayside. I wanted there to be a Bringer reason for how the couples were attracted to each other. Either they mated with their own kind or more interestingly in a trait that seemed to be designed and bred, they mated with their compliment. It was too random and haphazard. Why people chose who they chose made no sense in the overall context of the story.

People's names drove me crazy. They seemed to be splattered from every culture, region and era even within families. Icarus had better be named Icarus for a reason because he's a character in Greek Mythology. Otherwise the reader is going to wonder through the entire series, which I did. Sha-Hera sounds like a WWF Princess. And Vile sounds like something from Stephen Donaldson.

But this is minor. I found the tone of the books to be a bit YA. They are very softball and gentle. You won't find anything gritty or even too upsetting here. People don't swear or unintentionally hurt each other. They aren't really selfish or mean or self absorbed. They don't kill for monetary gain or misunderstand because it serves their own interests. No one we really love dies or even sacrifices themselves for the greater good. And people talk about being hurt but we don't really see it or feel it. One of the big elements that drives successful fantasy is either a dark hero or reluctant hero. Icarus is the closest we have here. The trilogy probably would have been more interesting told from his POV. Even the Bain aren't really very upsetting. So as a result we have a lot of very excellent coin wasted. There are missed opportunities galore to add some darkness and real depth to the story.

And other than a few places throughout the trilogy where the story seems to drag with repetition and lack of purpose, the pacing is fairly good. The series doesn't suffer from middle book lethargy. Things happen in the middle book which move the story despite the somewhat tepid love story around which it revolves.

That said, it's a mistake to do the reveal on Icarus so early in Chains of Illusions. As I've read from other commenters and I also felt, Icarus is the most intriguing character in the series. At the reveal, I was tempted to put the books aside and not finish it. While I knew it was coming--I'd worked it out in book 2--when it did, I was finished. I was no longer interested in what happened.

A couple of other comments: It is MOOT point, not mute point. Chapter 18: You cannot open the Abyss so the threat is MOOT not mute. Look it up if don't believe me. I was doing well overlooking other weirdnesses until I hit this. This just made me think either the publisher or the editor needed to go back to school. This is one of those things like infer and imply that make a writer sound like they have mud between their toes and hay sticking out their hair.

So overall I really liked these I would have liked to see this Universe grow and expand. I hope one day Ms. Brux returns to it with more of an eye to the fantasy aspect rather than the romance. I realize reading back over my comments while this is a compelling universe I feel the stories lack depth and introspection. I wanted everyone to be more because the potential was there. The story telling just wasn't.

Chain of Illusions Bringer and the Bane Boone Brux 9781622660377 Books Reviews

Chain of Illusions is the third book of the Bringer and the Bane series by Boone Brux. I highly recommend that if you have not read the first two books in this series that you do. My opinion, by not reading the first two books, there would have been some things in this book, I would not have been able to figure out. With that said This book had me captured from page 1 all the way to the end.

This book starts off right where the other left off Rell who was part of the Bane was captured by the Bringers. The Bringers in return changed her into one of them after they had rescued her body from the underworld.It also goes on to Rell falling in love and possibly a marriage with Siban. Will there be a happy ending? I will not spoil it! This book however takes you into a lot of twists and turn such as Icarus finding out who he really is. There is also a huge battle scene which was my favorite part of the book. The author goes in to well details of the scene describing the setting and the characters its well executed.

However, the only downfall with this book is the ending was a cliff hanger and now I have to wait until the next book comes out for the continuing story.
I love this series and can't wait for the next book to be released. Boone Brux is a master storyteller and does an excellent job of world building and character development. Because of the complexity of the storyline, and for continuity and background, the books need to be read in order. I highly recommend the series and have it on my reread and watch lists.

Each book in this series focuses on one couple within a continuing storyline, and characters from previous books have prominent roles. I read book one, Shield of Fire, in the Tall, Dark and Deadly Anthology. It brought together Ravyn and Rhys, and set the stage for the series. Book Two, Kiss of the Betrayer, brings Jade and Luc together and advances the plot toward war between the Bringer and the Demon Bane. Book Three reunites Siban and Rell and restores Rell from her Demon Bane state to her human body. And it reveals more of the secrets the books in the series hold closely.
