Between Darkness & Light (War of Destiny Book 3) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Between Darkness & Light by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Five years after Juliana’s betrayal, everyone is still reeling from the fallout. The Ka-Tet is fractured, and no one really wants to have anything to do with her. She left defenseless against foes, and isolated from everyone. This causes her to fall into a very deep depression that leads her to doing self-harm. Slowly progress is made toward her sorting everything out with the help of a friendly spirit, an old friend, and a new friend. As everything comes to light as to what exactly her powers are and that she isn’t crazy, Gregory’s obsessed spirit possesses the soul of his descendent and sets his sights on destroying Juliana. After thinking she had come to terms with everything from her past, she realizes that she hasn’t dealt with most of it. Can she work through her past trauma to defeat Gregory once and for all? Will she be able to bring the Ka-Tet back together and prove her loyalty once and for all?

This was an excellent addition to this series. Julia struggles with some very deep feelings and the ramifications of not dealing with everything. While she doesn’t choose wisely on how to deal with it, she finds help in her friends on how to deal with it all in a healthier way. I appreciated the insight into how damaged people sometimes choose to deal with their extreme feelings. We are all damaged in our own way, and this shows the importance of the power of forgiveness, true friendship, and not always believing what other say but to come to our own conclusions. Well done!! Looking forward to book 4!
