I've been waiting patiently (Alright, I'm kidding, when it comes to this trilogy I've never been patient!) for a year to be able to finally, finally read the whole story from Nikolas's point of view. To say that I was also curious and maybe also a bit worried because, well, I really expected a lot from this book and even though I loved each and every one of the books of the trilogy I wasn't sure if Karen Lynch could really answer all my questions and tell the book as something new and at the same time as part of the same story that I know by heart.
To cut a long story short - I got that and so much more. This book is amazing! It tells a whole new story while telling Sara and Nikolas's story and those of you who didn't fall in love with Nikolas in the trilogy be prepared to fall now. Hard. The Warrior shows us a very different side of Nikolas. In the trilogy he stood always a bit aloof, demanding and overprotective. Okay, he is all of that - on the one hand. On the other hand this book shows us a sensitive, loving and just wonderful person, who is still overprotective and overbearing but hey, who cares!? You understand what makes him act the way he does and you just accept that someone like him has to have some flaws at least.
If it had been possible for me to fall more in love with this whole series, Warrior would have done it. It is witty and brilliantly constructed, it is captivating and suspenseful even though I knew the story but it still managed to make me fret and fly through the pages to find out what would happen next. It is not a simple retelling but it is a whole new, amazing story that just covers the same events. We get to know some people much better, there are new wonderful characters to meet and...well, it is just that: AMAZING!
