Reborn (Kaliya Sahni, #4)

3.5/5.0
The star rating for this book, for me, is split right down the middle. The first half of the book would be a 2 star, the second half a 5 star. Yep, that disparate! For good reasons, though.
The first half: The idiocy of Kaliya not only continues from book three but ramps up to tear-the-hair-out-scream-at-the-author levels. She is not only cold and stand-offish with the man she loves and who loves her more than the world, she actually lies about it to both him and those she is trying to establish relationships with. *eye-rolling sigh*
The second half: Although it is because of reasons beyond her stupid self, the problem is taken out of Kaliya’s hands and resolved. At least at this point she is required to pull her head out and deal with the fact that she has a mate who she loves. And, in doing so, we get to see the two of them begin to work together to figure things out - both in the personal relationship side and with all the dangerous world problems that both need to deal with.
It is at that point, however, that the book (and the series IMHO) really begins to shine. The intrigue and action are a top-notch, page-turning, joyous addiction. And (FINALLY) we get to see Kaliya begin to confront all the fears and facts that have made her a mess to this point. LOVED ever single minute!!
