Throughout his life he has worn many a hat: He has worked as a teacher in Niigata, Japan a puppeteer in Prague an improv artist in Memphis, Tennessee, but made the leap to voiceover in 2015. You can connect with John Wiltshire here: She retired at the rank of Major, and finally settled in New Zealand.Īlthough she has no plans to return to the army, she can occasionally be caught polishing her medals. She spent twenty-two years in the British Army, perfecting the art of looking busy whilst secretly writing. They did get back together and are now out to the world. The pacing was slow, the storyline dragged, and the whole thing was just odd and out of character for both of them. Then Nik, who up until this point frequently denied being gay and hasn’t allowed an ounce of being publicly open about his relationship with Ben… is upset at Ben’s denouncement. But the whole, “God doesn’t want me to be gay” from Ben and for the entire second half of the book just didn’t work for me. Whatever, I kind of get it when you almost lose someone you love and you’re bargaining with God to save them. It all sounds so effortless and like a full cast instead of one person. I did kind of like how it ended up and I’ll listen to the next book, His Fateful Heap of Days. I don’t know how to explain without spoilers – which I very seldom use in my reviews – so that’s below. This time, it was first half packed with mystery and suspense and the second half was just odd. In the other books this was weaved well through a variety of thrilling adventures. Nik & Ben have always had a weird & twisted relationship. This one didn’t work for me the way the others have. In some ways these stand on their own, but I’d definitely recommend listening to them all and in order – starting with Love is a Stranger. These books follow the same couple and each book builds off some events from previous ones. Alternating perspectives, not by chapter, but defined.Įnduring Night is the seventh book in Wiltshire’s More Heat Than the Sun series. But fortunately, not as sneaky…ģrd person. For the first time, Nikolas meets an enemy more powerful than he is.

Desperate and fearing for Nikolas’ life, Ben makes a bargain with a surprising ally. They return with a metaphorical darkness that threatens everything they have created together. Neither of them, however, foresees the long-term impact that endless winter has on their relationship. A short break on the polar ice sees them trapped in a nightmare of murder and deceit. You’d have thought that Ben and Nikolas would have learned that their romantic holidays inevitably end up as disasters. The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
