Chaotic War by Lia Davis

Chaotic War is book three in the Sons of War series by Lia Davis. This series does need to be read in order as each story builds on the other and the plot thickens as we move along.

I was very excited to read Chaotic War after finishing [b:Ashes of War|21935308|Ashes of War (Sons of War, #2)|Lia Davis|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1432780698s/21935308.jpg|41235218]. The plot had thickened and the build up for Zavier and Danielle throughout the first two books was wonderful done, but sadly their relationship in this story was lacking.

It's an exciting, quick, and fast-paced read. The storyline seemed unnecessarily rushed. The characters didn’t feel as developed as the past two and the romance felt week, even with the build up throughout the books. We do get to learn about Danielle a.k.a Elle, but what we learned went by way to fast. I would have liked to dig deeper into her heritage. I liked Zavier, but we learn nothing about him or what made him who he is. In Ashes of War we get inside Ty, but here nothing.

I was disappointed in how short this story turned out to be. It’s only 80 pages compared to the first to stories that top over 200 pages. I thought when I bought this I was getting a full length story and then I read it in no time and go “oh that was short."

Chaotic War was an ok read, but it needed to be longer to help the storyline and characters develop more. I wanted to love this one, but couldn’t. I will be check out the next book; since the set up for our next character has me intrigued. Hopefully we get more.

Rated: 3 Stars

There is not enough words to express how much i love this series. I've been patiently waiting for Zavier and Elle's book since the first book. Well finally it is here and it exceeded my expectations. I love the back story on Elle and her Mother Nyx. I loved hearing more about Zavier and well, i loved everything about the book. I can't wait for the next story!!!!!!! Elle and Zavier are now my favorites!!!!

I liked the connections between this book I haven’t read the previous books in the series but it was an easy pick up I’ve had this on myself for awhile but I really enjoyed this and I think I will carry on reading some books by this author as I love the way she read characters the interactions and the complexity of the storyline and how the characters didn’t change in a very consistent with who they were

I liked the characters of Elle and Zavier--Ms. Davis gave us plenty to look forward to with these two in the first books of the series--but I really wish that we'd seen more of them here! This is one novella-length story that really could have benefited from a higher page count. It almost felt as if there was more Elle/Zavier back-and-forth banter in the other two books (from what I remember, anyway) than in this one!

Still, what we have is fun to read--the overall series plot advances nicely, and the next book in the series is set up for us by the time this one ends. There isn't quite enough background information to make this one work as a standalone--it's been a while since I read book #2 ([b:Ashes of War|21935308|Ashes of War (Sons of War, #2)|Lia Davis|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1432780698s/21935308.jpg|41235218]) and I felt a bit behind times at first--I'd definitely recommend reading the books of this series in order.

Things are left up in the air for the good guys at the end--hopefully the next book in the series will follow soon!
