Book: Roya The Lost Lines Collection by Merri Bright
Reviewed by Booksbystarlightandshadows
Rating: 4/5
I love an interconnected universe and was so ready for the next instalment of Merri Bright's omegaverse. Roya is very different to the other omegas in the series so far and her assassin background had me hooked in from the start. I'd have love to have seen more assassin adventures but I was glad Roya wasn't solo for long and opening the book with boiling an egg was something I didn't see coming!
Thorn, the man you are! Gavriel officially has a contender for my favourite Merri Bright MMC. Honestly the other MMCs didn't get a look in as when he wasn't there I was looking for him. Altair and Icarus' plots were really interesting and I did like the others but I just loved the connection between Thorn and Roya the most.
I have read the series completely out of order and was thrilled to get a cameo from Icarus' mysterious brother whose reputation has preceded him. After reading the Goddess's Spy, I have been desperate to know what he did and its partially revealed here. I'm definitely reading that one next as I need to see the grovel because, wow!
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
