It seems kind of stupid? Or at least lazy. Setting aside the confusing world-building, the purpose of this opening is to establish that Other Kalona doesn’t fall, but also he does. And what about the Sun and the Moon? Do they have Others? They’re divine beings. Why can’t they see these mirror realms, too? Are they aware of their Other counterparts? And is Mother Earth an Other in this book, too, or is she one of the few entities that’s aware of the various realms and has full effect over all of them? I would assume so, since she was involved in their creation. These extra-planar, divine or semi-divine beings have Other World versions of themselves, too? But they oversee multiple realms – Nyx, in particular. They’re gonna know they’ve read this scene before you’re not even trying to hide that it’s the same.Īnyway, the book opens with several chapters focused on Other Kalona, Other Erebus, and Other Nyx, which seems really strange to me from a world-building perspective. It comes off as lazy, unprofessional, and is kind of a slap in the face to readers who followed every book as they came out. ![]() As a writer, I can’t wrap my head around literally copy-pasting a huge section of a book like that. In Forgotten, we open with a prologue about the creation of the realms – the first four pages of which is nearly identical to the opening of Kalona’s Fall. But I don’t think that’s really a good thing. It was certainly different from other installments in the series. I’m really not sure what to make of this book.

What happens when worlds clash and powers that should be left alone are awakened? Can Other Kevin and his world heal from the wounds Neferet continues to inflict? Can Old Magick ever truly be harnessed and used for good? Or will Darkness extinguish Light and leave our heroes broken, hopeless, and as forgotten as Kalona of the Silver Wings? Don't miss this second to last volume in the House of Night Other World saga! As a distraction, she throws herself into her work and attempts to bring the humans and vampyres of Tulsa closer together with the first human-vampyre swim meet in history! It's too bad that something always seems to go wrong whenever the stakes are high. But, as the Nerd Herd warns, it's far too dangerous to call on Old Magick time and again. Meanwhile, Zoey is desperate to help rid the Other World of Neferet once and for all, and not knowing what's going on over there is eating away at her. After all, why should they return to being shunned by humans, especially when they've had a taste of how it feels to be in power? But just as Other Kevin's broken heart will take time to heal, peace in that world will also take time and work-and not all of the Other World vampyres want peace. As she operates in secret to gain access to Old Magick, the new High Priestess, Anastasia Langford, works toward peace and acceptance for the vampyres of the Other World. In the present, Other Neferet may have left her House of Night, but she has far from given up her goal of immortality and world domination. ![]() But what happened to the Other World's Kalona? It's as though he's been forgotten, or maybe he never existed at all Before he was freed by Neferet, Kalona was imprisoned within the earth for centuries because of the Darkness in his heart.
