The Heart of War by Lisa Beth Darling
Where to start? This book is pretty epic. Just as the book reaches a quite dramatic peak and resolution it simply keeps on going, pouring out the well-constructed narrative into even more drama. So be prepared for a pretty intense read.
In The Heart of War, we are introduced the amazing world of the Gods and follow the male protagonist Ares. Ares is a pretty straight forward character until he meets the half-human, half fey female protagonist, Alena. Before Alena’s arrival, Ares is a perfectly happy egotistical God, absorbed in his own world of women, sex and war. He has taken a step back from the 21st century, being uninspired with how the world is developing. It’s not until the enigmatic Alena enters his world uninvited, that life’s turns upside for Ares and he opens his eyes to emotions and desires that he never had previously considered.
The story takes many twists and turns and throws open many peaks in tension and drama. This book is most definitely not for the faint hearted. The novel is very hot and heavy. And it also comes with a very appropriate warning “WARNING: This novel is intended for ADULTS ONLY. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. It contains several scenes of graphic sex and violence.” Lisa Beth Darling tackles some pretty intense plot developments, and she does so with controlled, thoughtful dialogue, as well as imaginative and effectively crafted narrative.
What I really enjoyed about this book in addition to how well it was written, was the delve into Greek Mythology. I’ve always been fascinated, yet completely clueless. The Heart of War gives an intriguing and interesting take on how the Gods of myth and legend would respond to the 21st century, and provides us with a gritty, yet at times endearing look at the Gods and their relationships.
