Review: The Dark Lands by Christina Bauer

The Dark Lands by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Myla is getting used to being the Great Scala, the Queen of Thrax, and now a mother to her beautiful baby boy Maxon. But when Walker needs her help, she's not prepared for the idea of losing her honorary older brother.

A new enemy is in town: Viper. And it seems that he has the ability (from one of Lucifer's many magic items) to take abilities or sins or anything from another person. And it seems that Walker has to face this person, because Viper hurt someone very close to Walker.

But when Walker disappears, Myla has to figure out all of Walker's secrets in order to find him and save him - without Walker disappearing out of her life forever.

This was a great novel. Myla has totally figured out life and has everything in control. I especially loved how Myla's dad was trying to train Maxon, a 6 month old boy in military format. Too cute and funny! The relationship between Myla and Walker was very strong in this novel, which is great because it gives the reader a chance to really see how much they mean to one another. We haven't really gotten that feeling during the series yet.

I loved how Armageddon was not the focus of this story, but a whole other side of the backstory came into play to show another side of the history of these characters. It was a nice change of pace, and I definitely enjoyed it! :)

And now here is the sad part... Amazon says the next book gets released in September 2019?? Sigh, that's 9 months of waiting to see what other great adventures Myla will go on. Oh well, I will just have to fill that space with other novels and hope they are as enjoyable as this series :)
