Lets start with I want to be on RuneNet. I think this one actually had my favorite smut.

One of the twists in this actually had me yelling what. I was shocked. In fact towards the end i was screaming (internally of course). I was just running through all scenarios trying to find out why.

I will not lie i got lost a bit from like 60-70% BUT THEN DAMN. Got me back even more than i imagined. I very much enjoyed the plot and the runic games.

I find it funny that the rune terminology was easiest for me to follow of the three of them.

When we started I honestly didn’t like Remy but I like her a lot more after this. She’s definitely a butch nerd and I love it. Having her perspective of all her friends being in love and under pressure is a great change from what I saw in the last time. Now I love love love Bella but I question her decision making skills. I think they are a good couple for having been rivals for 10 years.

I am sad that i finish this entire series but it was a great one and I think everyone should read it.

The book was what I expected. Ruby Roe uses the same plot building and relationship drama for all her books. But it's good. I probably wouldn't read it if I weren't currently in a relationship with a woman, as a woman. I didn't like how the tournament played out though.

the plot was so obvious I was yelling out in frustration the whole time but, hey, it was still fun
