Labyrinth of Stars

Labyrinth of Stars by Marjorie M. Liu is the newest book in her Hunter Kiss series.

Tattos with hearts, minds, and dreams. Created to be the armor that protects my body, these obsidian shadows come alive at night- demons made flesh.

After the Aetar nearly kill Maxine's unborn Child, and betrayal within her own ranks leaves Maxine's husband, Grant, poisoned and dying, Maxine is forced to attack a race of beings that possesses almost unlimited power.  Doing so will require she make a deal with the devil- the devil that lives inside her- risking both her sanity and her soul as she slowly transforms into something more than human.

But even that might not be enough to save Grant, because the very thing that Maxine is becoming is destined to destroy the world.

The Breakdown:

1.  Liked that Maxine is forced to face the idea that the boys, her demon armor, may not be as immortal as she has always believed.  She is forced to make tough decisions, and learn to be more capable without them at times.

2. Liked that even several books into the series, that Ms. Liu is still able to explore different aspects of her characters when faced with new situations.

3. Disliked how much time Maxine and Grant spent separated in this book. I think one of the biggest strengths of this series has been Maxine and Grants relationship, but I felt Maxine spent way too much time world/time traveling in this book.
