I've read this book and the Irdesi series many times. I've always been impressed with Addison Cain's world-building and everything that goes into the series. There are so many levels and layers and things to dig through. I could end up talking to people about these books for hours and hours.

Every time I read the books, I am struck with the differences between love and obsession and whether what Sovereign feels for Sigil is really love, just obsession, or even real at all. It's always interesting for a book to make anyone think so much about things like this, which is just one of the reasons that I love these books so much.

It has been suggested that Sigil is a villain, but I don't think that she is. She's a victim. She was tortured and experimented on as a child and her creators put in a huge mix of stuff into her DNA and then others got into it and fiddled with it too, which didn't help at all. She was turned into a psychopath. When she was finally able to gain some hard-won control, she gets chased down and hounded, and then everything is ripped away from her. I think that she's a victim from the start, not that Sigil would like for me to think that about her, but everyone around her, minus one person, tries to manipulate her and control her for their own purposes, to one extent or another.

I need to so much more to this story. There just isn't enough to it, not because the books aren't great or that Addison Cain hasn't packed plenty into it, but there isn't enough to it because the story isn't finished yet. And even when it's finished, I don't think that there will be enough for me. I'll still always be wondering what happens next. ( )

This gets a full house in regards to my rating just because as per usual whether I actually liked where the story was heading or not there was no way on heaven or earth anyone would have been able to prise me away from this disturbing table of events.



I don't want to actually go into to much detail here mainly because this just needs to be experienced in all its unapologetic entirety.
To actually comprehend the whys and whatevers of all involved here you need to intermesh yourself fully into the landscape and mindsets of all involved.
We are dealing with an almost hive mindset with a morally reprehensible outlook on all its society.
So basically the empire and sigil are actually the bad guys and though you never can really condone their actions I could at least get to a point in my head where I could see how they had arrived at this current crossroads in the Empires overall objective.
It is really all about protecting and acquiring precious sigil she is really the key to everything that has occurred and will occur despite her abhorrence for this fact.
In Sovereign, we delve more into the emotional side of Sigil but don't expect her to suddenly blossom into all that is good and kind Our precious girl is still the psychotic sociopathic killer from the previous book as the brothers discover time and time again.
This story was so interesting and despite certain directions that I would have prefered otherwise, I was transfixed throughout; Addison Cain is definitely an author I can't get enough of.
Her dark mind delves into crevises others fear to tread appaling and enthralling me equally.
So this was left in my opinion slightly open-ended for future story development which was great as I felt I got closure while still eagerly anticipating the next shocking chapter.
As such I am happy to wait even though I really do want it right now; just because I am so bloody impatient for my next fix.
I am going to leave you with my favourite quote from the whole book just to entice.

“Stop?” Sovereign’s grip tightened his voice razor blades. “It is always stop, isn’t it? I give you gentleness, you fight. I build you an empire, you hate me for it! I could take you here, on these very dead right now. I could make you, and you couldn’t stop me—just like you couldn’t stop me on Pax. I could push into your body anytime I wanted.” He bit at her mouth, lapped her lips before he shoved the startled woman away. “There is no STOP! There is only wait. Wait while you fuck my Brother. Wait while you mourn a being who never loved you. And I will wait, Sigil. You would be surprised how far my patience will extend. But there is never, ever going to be a stop. I don’t even think the grave could keep me from you



I borrowed Sovereign (Irdesi Empire, #2) with my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Holy riveting spaceballs part two...

I discovered this author last year and I am a slave to her words. I am held captive in the web she spins. I hope she finishes part three soon because I am dying here (figuratively not literally- although that might be debatable). Hands down one of the best series that I have ever read. I am truly in awe of this author and her world building skills. Everything she writes about is so out of this world and yet somehow this author makes it appear in your imagination as if it was something tangible that I would encounter on a daily basis. This author is sublime-- for lack of a better word.

Sigil. My heart aches for this character. I cannot imagine having so much power and yet in the same breath have none. She is such a strong woman but also has her whole existence be manipulated to serve the brotherhood. She is a futuristic Eve. Sovereign. this guy... I have a love hate relationship with him. Is his feelings just because that was how he was programmed? Or does he truly care? Karhl and Tiburon were two important characters also. I haven't decided what role they will play in the future. This book had well placed sex(hot sex) in a gripping story line. Read this book. Even if you say you don't like Sci-fi do it any way. You can thank me later. ( )
