Reviewed by kenThe second book in the Demon Child series, <i>Treason Keep</i> didn't have the sequel slack that I find in most second books. The pacing was just as brutal, nerve-wracking, and amazing as <i>Medalon</i>. There were hardly any slow parts, and the introduction of the Karien and Hythrun side of the world is welcome for the further detail of world-building they contributed to the entire universe. The ending was a bit expected though. Fallon seems to be fond of <spoiler>having a character at the brink of death at the very end</spoiler> but I have no complaints regarding that, because there has to be tension, and it is effective in making me want to read the next book so soon. Which was why I borrowed both <i>Treason Keep</i> and <i>Harshini</i> from the library simultaneously. I read one review in passing about <i>Treason Keep</i> having one of the greatest love-hate relationship of all time, and I assume they meant <spoiler>Damin and Adrina</spoiler>. But it may just be me finding straight people tiresome, but they hardly inspired romantic feelings in me. And maybe I'm not supposed to, which is understandable, since the author doesn't seem to want to romanticize their political/sexual relationship because it's not. (But what makes one think that romance and politics are mutually-exclusive?) In any case, I can't wait to see the trilogy be tied up together, hopefully neatly, so I don't have to be rushed into reading the next series soon after. Mostly, I want to know when Loclon would die. Hopefully by R'shiel's hand.
