The last book came out a long time ago. I got a little lost with some of the extra storylines. The feeling that you should remember, but don’t quite. If you have the chance to reread, do. I still enjoyed it. There is just something about an R.L. Mathewson book.
I did like it because I enjoy her books and this world, I want to know what happens next.
I think however the multiple pov's and the writing style and starting to get to me.
The way characters are described sometimes : "the woman that...", "the annoying b****** who..." are getting repetitive and confusing.

So I really love this author and this series. So you may ask why I’m only rating three stars? Well, this book was four years in the making. I’d forgotten so much. Yes. I could have gone back and re read the others, but that’s not my style and shouldn’t be required in a book focusing on different characters. But this one held little reminder of who characters were or past plot points as old characters were brought in. Just a little line reminder would have been hugely helpful. But not only that, I found it often hard to follow. The jumping around, a common style for RL, was just a bit much this time around. My head swam in confusion at points. And I often felt disconnected because of it.
That said: the new characters were great. I loved Trace’s commitment to his “wife”. There were laugh out loud funny parts at time.
Overall, it was very much an RL book. I just needed more to connect after a four year gap.

This was definitely better than the last one in this series, less NFH like. But I kept feeling like I missing things. Like the author assumes the reader knows what she’s implying but everything is too vague.
I hope it’s not another 4 years wait for the next book.
