greek_myth5's review against another edition

Wow! Just...wow...
This series is seriously a great read and this installment was no exception! I loved all of the point of views in the story since I feel it gives all of the characters more depth and me, as the reader, the ability to really understand them. The storyline itself broke my heart several times, pieced it back together and then left me with a cliffhanger that left me screaming at the book. Not sure why as this is Frost's MO and I've read all of her books so not a surprise. But you just get so involved in the story that...well it just makes me anxious for 2020 so that I scoop up the next book. All in all Frost makes every cliffhanger worth it so don't let it stop you. This is series is worth picking up for sure!

This book dragged so much in the beginning. It took me a while to get into Dor's character. This book focused less on Sage and Tehl. The action was minimal and just had the anticipation of the war to come. It felt like a filler book.

This shifts into multiple POVs and a faster pace. The reader has to shift gears and scramble a bit to keep up with the writing. All the stakes are raised and everything and everyone are on the line. Full-out war rages now.

It still kind of bothers me that I’m going into these stories without trigger warnings and feel the need to add them to my reviews. I personally don’t need the TW, but if you’re going into these stories with hopes of a wonderful, easy fantasy read and don’t anticipate the topics, it’s jarring. Sexual assault, PTSD, r@pe all included in this story- so be mindful.
Another Aermian Feuds book, probably the least exciting of them all. This book set up information, gave our characters a (mostly) happy period that’s well deserved. War is coming, and Sage, Tehl, Sam, and the lot are figuring out how to take on the Warlord. We are also introduced to some new characters- ones that I am intrigued by and liking the new perspectives.
I do like how quick of a read these books are, and though there are a heavier set of topics covered in the plot, I’ve more or less enjoyed them. There isn’t so much of a plot that I feel confused, and the way the books have been divided feels natural.
Probably not my favorite fantasy series- the world feels half built at this point as the author tries to build it for us with allies and war and mythical creatures that don’t necessarily fit. I’ll still likely finish the series, as I am interested to see how the plot continues to twist with the newer additions and the plans that have been built by our protagonists.

Spy's Mask is book five in Frost Kay's Aermian Feuds series and this book hits the ground running. The Warlord is wreaking havoc wherever he goes. He is intent on claiming what it is that he wants and he doesn't care what it takes. He has his sights set on Sage and that brings danger to all who surround her. Can they manage to outwit him and bring him down so that they can restore peace to their ravaged lands? Or will he be what breaks them in the end?
I have to admit that when I first started reading this book I was hooked! I loved the addition of new characters and how the author gives us more points of views with different characters. The Warlord was truly eye-opening and bizarre at times. He's an interesting character but twisted at the same time. I liked it! LOL! I loved that the author takes us to a darker place as well with other characters. We've seen the ones who live in the cities, on the outskirts, and even in other kingdoms, but none that lived in truly dark and desolate places of were drawing any attention is a true danger. This more than anything kept me page-turning as I wanted to know the fate of those characters and how they would survive their struggle.
There isn't much that I didn't like about this book. I liked the secrets and revelations that came to light. I loved seeing the continued developments of the characters as well. Tehl is disappointed in a certainin individual when the truth comes to light, but he allows Sage to have her say. Leaps and bounds in growth and development! I love it!
I am rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The characters kept me hooked, and I liked how the author kept me engaged throughout.

Spy’s Mask is an amazing addition to The Aermian Feuds Series! It was dark and intense. I absolutely love the characters each in their own way! I would highly recommend this series!
