Grey, Lysander and Jenner struggle to
balance the love they share against the political demands on
Jenner and their own individual needs. This is a juggling
act that sometimes results in broken plates on the floor,
but they keep on. After all, they have love between them and
that is the highest goal for any citizen of Eab Nanoorn.
Still, life is never really peaceful for Jenner and this
time is no different. For political reasons, Jenner can’t
marry or make an open romantic commitment to the men he
loves - Grey and Lysander. So when the King steps in to
question Jenner’s loyalty and commitment to serve, things
get dicey.
How is Jenner, a man that never felt
like he belonged, going to satisfy his heart by staying true
to his loves and serve his King, who demands that he sire
the future heirs to the throne? All this while under the
scrutiny of the nobility of Eab Nanoorn, which considers
Jenner a bastard by birth.
Guide to Survival, Volume 2: The Legacy
continues the incredibly rich and complex tale that is the
life and times of Jenner, Grey and Lysander. H.B.
Kurtzwilde continued to build upon the amazing world he
started to show us in the previous book and it will continue
to explode in your imagination as Jenner navigates
previously unexplored aspects of Eab Nanoorn, his family,
and his love. This time the interactions between Jenner,
Grey and Lysander are more centered on how they make each
other feel and how it affects Jenner’s life as a political
figure within his kingdom. The story also explores how
these eminently different men handle the pleasures of
building their relationship within the wider environment of
the society they live in. Jenner’s Legacy colors every
action the men take. H.B. Kurtzwilde does a wonderful job of
presenting all sides of this unusual romance while making
Jenner, Grey and Lysander real and sympathetic. Despite the
complexity of The Legacy, it has a power to
pull you into the story and keep you wrapped up in the men’s
powerful emotions to the point that when the end comes you
almost resent parting from these characters. The
Legacy is an amazing book that should not be passed
up and a must have for readers that read the first
installment of the story. I fervently hope that H.B.
Kurtzwilde brings them back soon with an equally compelling
story relating what happens next! |
