As a television reporter and double amputee, Odelle is used to having to prove herself. But fighting against the physical incarnation of evil for the fate of the world certainly raises the stakes. If she can’t help defeat this evil, the Shadow will gain the power to engulf all that she loves.
Chaos and Crowns is the second book in the Defenders of Light Series by S.C. Grayson. Odelle is the main character and happens to be a double amputee. I enjoyed that the author referenced Odelle’s physical disability from time to time, but Odelle’s personality did not revolve around it. Also, the rest of the characters did not reference her disability. It was never questioned whether Odelle could achieve anything she wanted to do. Odelle was simply a person in their lives, and she happened to wear prosthetics. It was a refreshing change from other books where a character’s disability may become a focal point in the story.
I do recommend reading the first book, Spears and Shadows, before reading this book, as it does reference some events from the first book. I did not read the first book prior, and I think it did have a slight impact on my rating of this story. However, I still found the book enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone that loves to read romance novels with some action thrown in. Thanks to LibraryThing, S. C. Grayson, and City Owl Books for providing a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
