Not happy with this one ..... I generally liked KC's books in the past. So, after a longer hiatus I came back to get some reading in. Mostly every book series which gets past the 10 books mark, starts getting very repetitive... The story tropes seem to repeat and what I hate more: the characters become redundant. The same kind of characters again and again, nothing to make them unique anymore. A sassy, intelligent, sometimes bossy and just generally "cool", independent heroine? A strong, dominant, tortured, misunderstood, unloved but deep in his heart kind and wonderful hero? Unfortunately, in this book the repetition is not the only problem. I didn't like the "kind of stupid" hero, wanting to punish the heroine for past deeds. Which we never got explained from the heroine's position. The really abusive behaviour of the hero, which the heroine just "accepts" and "forgets “, because she is the better person? why? The near unexplainable sexual tension (I don't mean the flaws in the hero’s appearance). How do you go from "this dude is an ass, he is torturing me, purposefully putting me in harm’s way, punishing me, and giving me unjustified torture game exercises...so yeah I want to totally f* that man..." The heroine's false belief in power? What power? So, she feels all powerful, when she has some kind of sexual might over him? Nice ok, that is not power, if the man can still put you in a prison cell without any say so. It is not power, if he makes all the decisions, if he can put you in harm’s way... On the good side: * Really liked the Disney vibe trope of this book * The writing style is as always very fluent and easy to read * Interesting new characters (dragon??) * Loveable old characters (Nix)
