I like this series by author Nikki Jefford. There are a lot of good ideas, characters that are interesting, and an engaging story. Overall, this series is good. I wish that the overall story arc was condensed into five books rather than the six.
Unfortunately, this book suffers from the “end of the line” syndrome that plagues some books. I feel that the last fourth of this book should have been included in book five, Whiteout. In fact, it would be great if Hunting Season, Whiteout, and True North could be edited down to two books, rather than three. Despite some very interesting plot points, there are parts of each of the three books that feel like filler.
There is not much character development in True North, other than that of Noel.
Aurora Sky Vampire Hunter is a good series, but I am not that impressed with this final book, (other than the aforementioned final fourth). 2 1/4 stars
This trilogy is an excellent companion to the Runes Series, also by author Ednah Walters.
I have completely fallen in love with Eirik and his girl Celestia. I am so impressed with the talent and imagination of author Ednah Walters. She builds this totally believable fantasy world that exists alongside the Mortal world. She also blends this book seamlessly with its Runes counterpart. That is why it is important to have read the Runes series, (through Witches), prior to reading Gods.
This book really adds additional layers to Eirik, Celestia, and Hel. They have always been exciting characters, but this book seals them in my heart. I was already in love with Eirik, but Celestia and Hel have become two of my favorite characters of the entire Runes world.
This book delivers a glimpse into the different types of families in the Immortal universe. Gods delivers some unexpected surprises, and they are most excellent. It is a great book.
I recommend the Runes Series, and the Eirik companion series, highly.
4 3/4 stars
