Ivan (Gideon's Riders, Book #3) (edició 2018)

Kit Rocha's world is so intricate and detailed. The world-building that goes into the entire Beyond series and spinoffs is just marvelous. How Kit can keep anything straight while writing is completely beyond me. Must have files that are a mile thick in order to keep everything straight. All that work means that I can't ever wait to get into the Sectors and to find out what new things there are to discover.

Maricela is the Princess of Sector One. Her grandfather was the Prophet, her brother is the King, and her sister is the head of their religion. And she? She is the prize that everyone wants. She's a Rios, she knows her duty, and she'll do it, even if it kills her inside. But what she really wants is Ivan.

Ivan is one of Gideon's Riders. The Riders are the people who get their hands dirty so that the people of Sector One don't have to. He's lived Maricela from afar for years, but now that he's her bodyguard, he spends almost every second of every day with her. While they've been fighting it, that closeness and intimacy has deepened and strengthened their love.

Oh, Ivan and Maricela's story got me right in the feelz. It hurt and it felt good, all in the right ways. Their story was so amazing on so many levels and all the things that are happening are going to have a huge impact on all the Sectors, I think. it's going to be really interesting to watch what's going to keep happening in the Sectors. I need all of the books for all of the characters right now. I can't wait to see what's going to happen with Gideon. All of us who've read the stories are pretty sure who he's in love with, but I wonder if he'll ever be able to get over what's going on. ( )
