The King by J.R. WardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really liked this book. This one really comes full circle going back to Wrath and Beth, finishing this particular story arc.
I love that you can see how far the characters have come and developed since Dark Lover. Beth has gone from thinking she is a human and a journalist, to being settled in her role not just as a vampire but as the Queen. I really like her character. I like that she has an independent streak and doesn't let that fact that she is the Queen go to her head and acts like everyone else there.
Wrath has also come along way since the first installment of the series. From the first time we see him as this mountain of a guy that people can't get away from fast enough, not wanting to accept his position as the King; to now being happily mated to Beth and not just taking his place on the throne but wanting to embrace it. If that's not character development, then I don't know what is.
Wrath using his position on the throne to make changes to the Vampire Laws really sets up a new era for these books, and I'm sure another great story arc. They still have the Lessening Society to contend with, as well as Xcor and the Band Of Bastards, but I have a feeling that the changes that Wrath makes to Vampire society at the end of this story will no doubt come back into play in future books, so it's going to be really interesting to see how all this plays out.
Really enjoyed this book and, for those that have followed the series, I would highly recommend it.
