I think the first thing I need to point out is that this is
the first book I have ever read by Donna. This is important because it is also a
spin off from another series her Dark Sword series. I never picked up that
series due to the fact that it is historical. When I heard that her Warriors
were going to jump through time and have a spin off series set in present day I
decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did. I can’t wait to read more about these
Warriors and Druids. I even enjoyed the villains (more on that in a sec.)
Midnight’s Master
is Logan’s book. If you followed her other series you’ve known him for some
time. For newbies like me I met Logan as he was being thrown a little over four
hundred years into the future. He and a few of his brothers have come to this
time to continue their quest in ridding the world of the evil Deirdre. He also
has to find one of his missing brother Warriors.
Gwynn happens to be in the same area of Scotland as Logan.
She’s looking for her father. He has been missing for close to three weeks.
Logan immediately senses that Gwynn is more than what she believes herself to
be. Part of Logan’s mission in life is to protect the Druid’s. He tries to
convince himself he is merely protecting her, that he isn’t good enough for
her, he fails. His failure in the lies he tells himself makes for a really
sweet romance.
The pertinent information and happenings from the six DarkSword books is retold in a very smooth manner. It is through Logan and Gwynn’s
conversations that new Donna readers find out key events from the other books.
I liked this. It worked well for me and did not ever feel like rehashing. Logan
has to give Gwynn the details of her history and heritage, it just happens to
be the Druid and Warrior history from the other books.
Logan and Gwynn eventually team up with the Warriors and
Druids from the other series. They are immortal after all and have been waiting
for their friends to return to them. This is a great group of characters. I
liked their personalities and what they contributed to the team. They all have
a like goal when it comes to ridding the world of the evil Deirdre. I read many
series books, I like to know what past couples are up to, so this is a boon for
Donna’s Dark Sword fans.
All good books need a despicable villain or villains. I
really liked Deirdre and Declan. They are evil, they have an even bigger evil
backing them and giving them power. I also love to get sections of a book told
from the villain’s point of view. I enjoy knowing some of what is going on in their
heads, what their twisted and convoluted reasons for the things they do. Donna
delivers on this front.
All is all this is an awesome book. I’m looking forward to
where the series is going. I can’t wait to see what evils Deidre and Declan
have planned in future books. A new Druid female was introduced towards the
end. She has a very interesting ability. So if you ever thought about giving
Donna a try and like me just don’t care for historicals go get this book. It is
a wonder book that will immediately draw you into her world of immortal
Warriors, magical Druids and the evil woman that wants to rule the world.
