Sure, there are parts of the story that weren’t great, such as dubious consent, animal killings, fatphobia, etc., but I still think the overall storyline and characters are strong and intriguing (and completely swoon-worthy). Surprisingly enough, I might have liked Alison a bit more than Natalya, but both are incredibly strong women who are proud of what they do. I love both Natalya and Alison, mostly for how good they are in their respective professions. That being said, I don’t think readers need to understand music to feel the musical energy radiating through the storyline, but that did add to my enjoyment of the story.Įven though I don’t understand the lust and sexual attraction in the story, I felt everything else. Every time Winter describes music, I feel an ache to experience the passion-I am totally the kind of person who gets emotional at concerts. However, she never anticipates just how unexpected this assignment is going to lead her.Īs someone who is classically trained in piano and has been playing on and off for 21 years (yes, I am 25 years old), Requiem for Immortals has brought out my love for classical music again. When her newest target Alison Ryan (34) seems to be nothing like her usual ones who reek evilness, Natalya is intrigued and unexpectedly strikes up a friendship with Alison. As Requiem, Natalya is known for her skills of getting her jobs done. Professional cellist Natalya Tsvetnenko (41) is also a professional assassin.

Side effect: developing an obsession with cellists.
