![]() I almost wanted to curse Kate Aaron’s descriptive powers as I could almost smell his scorched skin, as his pain became so vivid I could almost feel it. Be prepared to have your heart broken as you watch him suffer. “I wished it would swallow me, wished I could disappear completely beneath the surface and sleep the eternal dreamless sleep.”Īnd that was just the first of many times Kai’s pain tore at me. The sentiments with which he remembers those moments in the desert stole my breath. This book takes us into the heart and mind of the soldier who lost the man he loved before being captured and sold as a slave. In “The Soldier” we hear what happens after Tam, Master and Kai were attacked at the end of the first book, leaving both characters and readers on a knife’s edge.
