However, the injuries he sustained years before in the action covered in The Battle Sylph weakened him severely and he believes himself unworthy of Lizzy. Lizzy is now an adult and Ril loves her dearly. This book takes place six years after the preceding book. During flashbacks to Lizzy’s childhood in both books, Ril appears more protective and like an older brother to Lizzy than sexually attracted. Ril’s love for Lizzy from the moment of her birth could easily be a creepy premise, but the author handles it well. However, Ril’s great love has always been Leon’s daughter Lizzy. The two came to respect and even care for one another, though it took much for either master or sylph to admit it. Ultimately a decent man, Leon’s ignorance and arrogance at the time of the binding blinded him to how this slavery ate at Ril. In addition, if you haven’t read The Battle Sylph, this review is full of spoilers for that book, so be warned!īattle sylph Ril, our hero, is Tortured with a capital T after spending years bound unwillingly to his master Leon Petrule. Though you’ll need to read the first book in this series to understand what goes on in this one, both are well worth your time. When I saw that The Shattered Sylph would be his book, I pounced on it. I really enjoyed The Battle Sylph and as I read that book, there was one secondary character who rather haunted me.
