Kindle version ... 137 actual pages of story. Finished in under 2hrs.

Let me say up front. I love The League. It's one of my very favorite series, and have re-read all the books several times over. Like everyone one else who's a fan, we've been oh-so patient waiting for Jayne's book to finally release.

While I loved the story of how Jayne & Hadrian meet (which is what pushed it to 3 stars). I am absolutely devastated that this is all she rated story-wise.

She's a freaking FOUNDING member of the Sentella ... THE ONLY FEMALE ... and she gets a backstory Novella for her book.

I'm seriously gut-punched that after all the wait for Jayne's book to finally get here ... there's actually very little substance to the book. Zero momentum on the overall story line.

Kindle version page counts:
Born of Night : 562
Born of Fire : 562
Born of Ice : 361
Born of Shadows : 444
Born of Silence : 699
Cloak & Silence : 205
Born of Fury : 687
Born of Defiance : 519
Born of Betrayal : 510
Born of Legend : 737
Born of Vengeance : 417

Eve of Destruction : 90 + Born of Rage : 44 + Born of Blood : 142 (actual count with book list & author page) = 276 pages ... All three books combined doesn't even come close to the other Sentella Members.

I was so happy to finally read who Jayne and Hadrian were and the story of how they got together! Jayne has been a central character since the first book - she is an active member of the rebellion and we only saw glimpses or mentions of her mysterious husband. To finally get their story and see beloved characters like Hauk and Nero were an absolute plus!
