Felt phoned in and unnecessarily grim. Very much a "gotta write this book so we can angst about it in the next book" feel.

I guess it goes to show that sometimes I -shouldn't- listen to reviews on here (GR). This has remained my favorite lgbt fantasy series, and I soared through the first three books. However, I took a long break because all of the reviews on Amazon and then most on here were very discouraging about boo...

OMG THE CHILD HE'S SO ADORABLE WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.The irony of the all caps is I'm not even that worked up about it.I quite like this Sebrahn. I don't want him to die. For some reason, I get the feeling he's going to die and I keep reading it with bated breath, half-bracing myself for his dea...

I'm not going to lie, once Alec and Seregil were kidnapped by slavers, I rushed through the pages hoping to get to the part where they were reunited. I was anxious to see if Alec would escape first to look for Seregil, without knowing that he was leaving him behind and also if he would fall prey to ...

This book was incredibly frustrating for a good chunk of it, but well worth powering through the desire I occasionally had to throw it out a window. ;) Another ending like the first book - not quite a cliffhanger, but close enough - so I'm off to start the next one now.These books have consumed my l...

Finally we're back to the main characters! We learn about Seregil and Alec's past, we hear the other side of the stories they've been into from the enemy side. No royal, clan, and military business in this installment. "Traitor's Moon" was too political for my liking, so this book got me hooked agai...

For some reason, I found the third novel to be less exciting than the first two. However, the fourth novel seems to have made up for any lacking in 3.[spoiler ahead] There wasn't that much action, really, if you think about it. They head off to Aurenen only to be kidnapped, dragged through a slave m...

The two roguish heroes of Flewelling's "Nightrunner" series return, almost ten years since their last appearance. Only a few years have passed in their world, but they've still experienced some serious changes: not least, there is a new queen of Skala, and she has little use or trust for the Watche...

I was really happy to see that there would be more books in this series. Having said that, I did not think this book was particularly strong. It felt very much like the middle book of a trilogy whose main purpose was to set up the next book. I think the next book could be very interesting but I wish...
