As Talos' men prepare to attack the Resistance and free all the children, Majid sends Odin on a journey to the Elven realm in order to find his father. Unfortunately, the vampire's mission turns out to be more dangerous than it might seem. Odin gets into serious trouble at the same time that Majid finds their fated mate. The problem is that the unicorn doesn't make the best first impression and clearly nothing goes as it should. And this is just the beginning of the troubles that he and his mates have to overcome.
"Majid" is the second volume in the highly addictive and engaging series "Bloodlines of Fate" by A.G. Carothers. I think in this installment we can really see that this is no longer the beginning of the adventure, but its continuation as the action moves forward really fast, is fast-paced and full of exciting, suspenseful events. What's more, sometimes it still surprises us, so all advantages of the action that we saw in the previous volume also appear in this part of the series. I think it is also worth mentioning that A.G. Carothers is not afraid of challenges such as showing the armed clashes, whether small skirmishes, larger battles or even wars. Readers who are familiar with A.G. Carothers' novels know this fact well, and those for whom "Bloodlines of Fate" series is just the beginning of their adventure with their work have the opportunity to learn about their action-packed and unpredictable fights that add momentum and drama to the novels.
Now let's move on to the thing that really amazed me in "Majid", namely the universe. I've mentioned it in my review of the previous installment of the series, but I just have to come back to this topic, because A.G. Carothers reveals its new face to us. It turns out that the world we enter while reading "Bloodlines of Fate" consists not of one dimension, but at least three, which definitely expands the universe, its possibilities and secrets. What impressed me most is the fact that this novel contains even greater mix of genres than the previous part. In the story, there are elements of pure fantasy, and this is due to the dimension inhabited, among others, by elves and dwarves. The funny and interesting thing is, the creatures living there reject modern technology and only in some areas they use solar electricity and hydropower on a small scale. Try to imagine something like that. As I've mentioned, I am really delighted with this idea, and the more I think about it, the more I love it.
Another advantage of "Majid" is undoubtedly the fact that this installment of the series focuses on the characters who have to find balance in their life. Majid's, Odin's and Siku's problems are related not only the new relationship and its dynamics, but also to the acceptance of the past, present and future. This shows that finding the fated mates is not synonymous with joy and the end of existing problems, but it's the reason new difficulties that must be faced and which often overlap with the existing ones appear. What's important, in "Majid" the problems of the main characters are not only a means by which the action becomes more interesting and dramatic, but they give Majid, Odin and Siku the opportunity to work on themselves, discover and understand themselves to a greater extent, make changes in themselves. Thanks to all of this, the reader can see how the characters develop, grow and at the same time remain to a great extent who they simply are.
Taking all of that into consideration, I believe "Majid" is a really astounding novel and a great continuation of "Talos". The world of the series is even more unbelievable and amazing, the action keeps us in suspense, the characters show us their different face, and their desire makes the readers blush. This novel is really worth reading and I'm sure you will love it.
