I'm a bit behind in the Elemental World (working full time and getting college
degrees tends to do that to person) but I'm glad I was able to read Midnight
Labyrinth. Despite that, I fell into the book headfirst, not having read the
previous Legacy novellas, and I wasn't disappointed. I know I missed some key
information by not being up-to-date in the series but I still left the book
completely satisfied - well, not completely satisfied - I wanted more, but that's
just me being greedy and has no reflection on how I actually view the book. The
book was exciting, frustrating, engaging, and down right awesome.
This novel continues the world building, character introduction & development,
and back story (as deemed necessary). None of these criteria are
overwhelming or lacking in detail. All of Elizabeth's novels reach deep within my
emotional center and manage to trigger reactionary responses. These types of
books are my favorite. The emotions don't have to always include tears; it is
just the ability to invoke proper emotional responses to scenarios being played
out.
Everything about Midnight Labyrinth just works. The novel is interesting and
draws the reader in from the start. The writing is fluid and cohesive, never
becoming wordy or confusing. The pacing of the story is excellent and isn't too
fast, slow, or boring. The main and supporting characters are well written,
developed at the proper speeds, and likable.
I highly recommend anything and everything from Elizabeth Hunter.
