I absolutely loved the other books but this one just doesn't do it for me. I'm happy with the ending but it felt really rushed at the end

The pacing is off here. I was not interested and my attention was lost. I plan to come back to this but it's far down my tbr list 
Daindreth's Outlaw by Elisabeth Wheatley

The pacing of this book is so slow and I do not like the mothering role the FMC has taken on. It's thrown off the relationship dynamic. The first book paints daindreth as competent and able to fight but here he is limp wristed

This should have been a duology. The first two books were great but this one was a real challenge to get through
