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.
