Book #Review: Archangel's Eternity (Guild Hunter #18) by Nalini Singh #ArchangelsEternity #NetGalley.#GuildHunter

Elena and Raphael return for the hauntingly poignant conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s genre-defining Guild Hunter series A thousand years.

It’s been a millennium since Elena’s fateful first meeting with Archangel Raphael. She has survived war and loss, experienced beauty and cruelty. But no matter what, she has always held on to her mortal heart, as she and Raphael have held on to each other. Passionate and vibrant, they’ve built a life that has stood the test of time, growing ever stronger with each turn of the sun.

But change is coming—of a magnitude they could have never imagined—and it will forever alter the trajectory of their existence.

Even as they grapple with the cataclysmic shift in their personal lives, the Cadre of Ten, which has maintained a hard-won peace for centuries, begins to simmer with dangerous fault lines. The specter of madness looms in one archangel, the promise of war burns between two others, and in darkness far from mortal and immortal eyes stirs an ancient, slumbering power.

Suddenly, the future is terrifyingly uncertain . . . at the very moment that Elena and her archangel need to protect a treasure infinitely more precious than eternity.

Trigger/ Content Warnings: Discussion of immortality and Death

Excerpt (on author site) 

Okay my loves I'm going to start this off by being so honest with you. I have been deep into school for the past two years and the only reason I stayed sane as a reader was re-reading this and her other series and anything new Nalini wrote. I have re-listened to the series like a million times. (If you haven't heard the audiobooks and you like audio I HIGHLY recommend it).  And to read this one you need to bring tissues.  If you have read this series at all then you know Nalini writes so much emotion into her books and this finale ain't no different. In fact I think it was even more emotional (at least for me) than all the others and some of the others definitely made me cry or tear up. 

I absolutely ugly cried reading this book. Knowing it was the last in this iteration of the series made me sob. I'm also an older sister, so even writing this thinking about living a thousand years without my sisters by my side would absolutely do me in. But ohhh the adventures Elena has had.  I have read this series so many times and each time I re read I find another thing to love about the series, but the discussion about family and what makes family really made me love this even more.  Getting to see some of the characters as they developed and grew, even some surprises from the the other books, oh how I loved each page. 

It being the end of an era, she had so many threads to wrap up. I cried for the characters we got and for the ones we didn't. I cried when Elena and Raphael had their discussion on what they would do should the worst happen. It took me four days to read this because I wasn't ready to let them go or to have anything happen to my favorite characters. So much change has already happened in the world and the new adventures these two go on is so worth reading and being apart of. 

It definitely made me wonder what the world would look like in 400 years and then I thought of the part of Coco where the dead talk about the part that you fade when the last person who remembers you dies. And I just balled my heart out.  

"When there is no one left in the living world who remembers you, you disappear from this world. We call it the final death"   COCO (the movie)

We are here because Raphael made the right choice on that roof top, I just think of what would have happened had he not chosen correctly how differently this world would be. We wouldn't have had the parings (my favorite being Naasir and his Mate in Archangel's Enigma) and adventures we did, new powers wouldn't have risen, and should they not have then the Mantle would have fallen, and so too would it all.  I do hope we see more from the world because there are so many other stories, we could have like what happens to the Healer, do anymore sleepers awaken, can we get the stories from the new batch of warriors of course it wouldn't be from Elena's and Raphael's POV but that's fine. I just want more. 

Even if we never see this world again this was a fantastic conclusion to the Guild Hunter Series and if you haven't read the series I highly recommend.  For now, I will say Goodbye for now Habibti, Goodbye for now Archangel

Synopsis:

The hunt for a stealthy predator takes a damaged J-Psy to the heart of falcon territory in this new Psy-Changeling Trinity novel from New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh…

Justice-Psy Eleri Dias knows the end is near for her, her mind one step away from fatal psychic exposure. In the short time that remains, she is determined to atone for an act of omission that has haunted her for a long, cruel decade. But that decision not only means facing a powerful changeling wing leader, but also putting herself in the path of a serial killer.

Falcon wing leader Adam Garrett is fiercely protective of his family and his clan. After losing his parents as a teenager in a shocking act of malice, Adam has no forgiveness in him for the J-Psy who betrayed him, betrayed them, at the most painful moment of his life. But the evil that stalks his territory will allow him no respite, forcing him once more into contact with the J he has never been able to forget.

Everything that could’ve been between Eleri and Adam was lost years ago, a shimmering promise crushed. As they work to uncover a monster, the moment of reckoning looms ever closer. Soon, there may be no more time left for either atonement...or love…

I'm not going to lie, this book took me down. I was sobbing reading certain parts, praying so hard for a happy outcome and of course cheering as the conclusion happened. I felt all the feels and then some. This one really hit hard because you can see just how much Silence damaged the very people it was supposed to save, and how that rippled out into the other species. 

Once again we are meeting Justice Psy who are on the brink of total failure. From kids they have trained and been used by the Council the very people who was supposed to protect them; however they have been used to ""bring Justice', but only to those who didn't have the money or connections to buy their way out of it. 

Eleri is here to make final restitutions for an outcome she couldn't have changed then. The way this book and their story drags you to the past and then back to the future. Chile. I felt all the emotions and raged with Adam and felt Eleri's pain. Imagine on the worst day of your life thinking you're going to get some semblance of justice and it's snatched from you and the person you just met who was who you have been told your whole life to look for the part of the reason you don't get that justice, how angry and betrayed you would feel.  That's what happens to Eleri and Adam. But this the it world of Silence and the Psy rule absolutely and to go against them is to sign the death certificate of all your clan. They had been given a glimpse of hope and within moments it's gone. The Council has to pay for it's crimes man. THEY have to!!!

Her pulse accelerated though she’d long ago stopped being nervous with anyone. Js were too often in the minds of the dregs of civilization for their Silence to stay in any way perfect, so the nervousness itself hadn’t disqualified her from her job. Reagan had just taught her to think past it.

Then it had dulled and dulled again, each reconditioning stealing a little more of her soul—if she’d ever had one to begin with. Until at last, she felt nothing at all when she sat across from the most vicious criminals the world had ever seen and waded into the fetid swamp of their minds and memories.

But today, her tongue dried up, her pulse kicked, and she found herself driving slower and slower as she neared the man who had once, long ago, made her wonder if she could have another life, live an existence devoid of murder and violence and a relentless march of screams. 

He could still remember each and every second of the experience that had forever altered him, destroying in minutes a life he’d only just discovered. Justice Psy were called that because they were telepaths who could reach into the minds of Psy and humans, pull out memories to do with a specific incident or crime, then broadcast those memories out to humans and Psy.

We get a second chance romance, a mystery and a whole new thing the new world of no silence protocol hadn't considered before. We get hope for Justice Psy and hope for the humans. But we know it's not going to be all rainbows and happiness because of course 100 years of damage can't be fixed this easily. I wanted them to bring in certain characters then remembered they made the decision to protect these characters since they were kids, I'm sure the thought never even crossed the empaths' mind. We of course get to see some of our favorite past characters and get introduced to so many new ones.  We have a new group of Changelings to get to know and I can't wait to see if we see more from the Wing. 

I will say when this was first announced I was annoyed because I wanted another characters story, but boy oh boy did Nalini deliver with this one. I can't recommend it more, and if you love audiobook DEFINITELY check it out in audio.  

It's an amazing story filled with so much need for acceptance,  regret and the discussion of what human dignity looks like in life and in death. I of course as I always do cried in several parts of this book. I will say there is a discussion of death, dying and dying with dignity. There is also a discussion of suicide. 

Read a quick Excerpt on Nalini's website for the book.

Synopsis:

Where are the broken? That is the propulsive question that unleashes a world of secrets in New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s Resonance Surge . . .

StoneWater bears Pavel and Yakov Stepyrev have been a unit since birth, but now Pavel’s life is veering in a new direction, his heart held in the hands of Arwen Mercant, a Psy empath—and the only man who has ever brought Pavel to his knees.

This is it. A point of irrevocable change. For Pavel . . . for Arwen . . . for Yakov . . . and for another pair of twins whose bond has a far darker history.

A low-Gradient Psy, Theodora Marshall is considered worthless by everyone but her violently powerful twin, Pax. She is the sole person he trusts in their venomous family to investigate a hidden and terrible part of their family history—an unregistered rehabilitation Center established by their grandfather.

Places of unimaginable pain designed to psychically wipe minds, leaving the victims shells of their former selves, the Centers are an ugly vestige of the Psy race’s Silent past. But this Center was worse. Far, far worse. And now Theo must uncover the awful truth—in the company of a scowling bear named Yakov, who isn’t about to take a Marshall at face value . . . especially a Marshall who has turned his dreams into chilling nightmares

Because Yakov is the great-grandson of a foreseer . . . and he has seen Theo die in an unstoppable surge of blood. Night after night after night . . .

I mentioned in my Sunday post that I returned to school and literally have only been re-reading this series. I have favorite characters and so many side characters that I can’t wait until she writes their stories. I have loved this series from the beginning and this installation is no different. The world we are now in, is the post-Council world and the different races are working to save not just themselves but to come back from the brink the Psy have brought their people to. Once again the horrors of what was done to keep the few alive is finally being shared with the world. And it's a horror show.

Theo has spent her life fighting to survive the family she was brought up into, had she not been linked to her twin brother Pax the more powerful Psy she wouldn’t be here. Pavel a Stonewater Bear has some of the Psy talent he's inherited from his Grandfather which has given him dreams since his childhood and they all star Theo. Theo has come to Russia to find out just how far and deep into the Council structure did her Grandfather go, and how much is her family truly liable for what happened to the broken Psy who didn't meet the exacting standards of the Council & why was her name on partially deleted files?

The dance, the way the story is woven together, I was absorbed from the start, I loved seeing Arwen and the glimpses of the family including Silver and Valentin, There is so much in the story and so much more we need. I absolutely loved the little sprinkling of intrigue we got at the club, I can’t wait to see more. I loved how they talked about the unique earthquakes (IYKYK) in the area.

These stories have been my comfort zone in the crazy world we live in currently and I can’t stop reading. There are a few moments where I had to stop and breathe because if I could jump into the book to go after some people, baby gear up. I would definably bring tissues, and be prepared as there are some triggering subject matter in the form of flashbacks. The fact that these people think they are the best of the best and not realizing that the very definition of a perfect Psy was a psychopath. So many people hurt because the Council lied and so many more in danger because the Scarab Queen would rather seize power than save their race. I can’t wait to see how this all comes out.

The way she ended the story I’m going to be annoyed for a whole year until we get the next installation because why??!!!!! I need it now!!! There were so many beautiful moments that made the book amazing to read, and I can’t wait to get my physical copy to display on my shelves. I will also be listening to the audiobook version because Angela Dawe has a way of narrating the story that is just so amazing, they bring the story to life. 

Have you read this series yet my loves?? I picked it up because every time without fail whenever Sylvia Day is asked what books she recommends she always says Nalini, and I can say I have never enjoyed a recommendation more.

 ★★★★1/2☆
