Very hard to follow

The characters were very interesting as well as their back stories. I also loved that favorite other characters played a lot in this. My issue was that more than a third of the book was constant readings of reports, letters, documents whatever, some going back hundreds of years. It was so difficult to follow what was happening now compared to the readings. I’ve always loved every book of this series going back to the original one, I even re-listened to all the Trinity books so everything was fresh in my mind. It was still so difficult, I’ve listened to over 800 audios and read over 1000 books and never had to repeat so much to try to comprehend what was happening. It did have a nice ending, and I loved that one of the main characters was disabled. As always, fantastic narration by Angela Dawe. I hope that’s she’s not concentrating on her new non-romantic books too much that’s she’s letting the books that made her famous slip.

This author is amazing

This is next to the last book and this author has not ceased to amaze me. This series reminds me of the matrix but much more detailed and alive. I love that the characters link but each story is unique its own right! I’m officially a fan!!

Not as exciting as previous books. but still good.

We still don't know who The Architect is. Although most of us have guessed who it is at this point. That kind of irks me. The storyline is dragging a bit for me.

Nalini & Angela did it again!

There is sooo much in this audio book that I am having to listen to it over and over! Oh my, what a hardship! NOT!!! As usual, the author and the narrator do not disappoint.

She did it again

I could not put this one down. I listen while I draw and I was captivated by this latest installment. I can’t wait for the next one to come out 🥰

great story

I love all of nalini singh`s books, every addition into this series has me wanting more.

Wow the scarabs are freaky!

Payal Rao l, aka 3k, is a hub anchor, cardinal telekinetic, and silent. She has a short but nicely curvy body which isn’t quite acceptable for a psy but it’s inherently sensual. Canto Mercant had small, undiscovered spinal tumors as a child and is now a paraplegic. He is looking for the child who saved his life during a primary school incident. Canto, aka 7J, is a Cardinal Telepath and hub Anchor, also needs a hub anchor to represent the anchor union on the new psy’s ruling Coalition. He trolls the darkest shadows of the web for information for his families business. They are the top intelligence information specialty network. The Anchors are the last guards of a failing system (psy-net).
[This book mostly starts the bear Pavel and Arvin Mercant’s romance, Silver’s story has the time when they meet.]

Absolutely worth your time and credit

I wish I had not listened to some of the other reviews. I put this audio off too long because of that. I was wary about starting with two unknown characters that were separate from the world NS had built. Surprise! We still get to touch base with known characters. We still get to peek into the continuation of other story plots (looking at you Arwen ;) ). She is developing the mercant family and connections and I am here for it. Forget the bad reviews. This book is worth your time.

Great addition to series

If you like Nalini Singh’s other Psy Changling books you’ll like this one. Typical plot style with great characters and a good extension on the overall plot line without seeming redundant or boring. Narration was as great as it usually is with this narrator. Love how she brings the characters to life.

Beautiful Story

Such a beautiful story that speaks to so many things related to trauma and recovery principles.
