Lover Enshrined

J.R. Ward

3.81 AVERAGE


I actually enjoyed this book during my third read. I'm not changing my original rating, but it would get a four if I were to rate it right now.

Phury was never my favorite and this time I was more focused on the side stories than on his. Cormia is a little to nice for Phury, I think he needed someone like Xhex to control him better, especially now that he became an addict. I loved Quinn and John learning more about their new life “together”. Those scenes with Lash were a little intense but worth it. We can clearly see the war is changing and those lessers are becoming more dangerous now that a leader has arisen.

So to me this book deserves a good rating for the developments in the series more than for the leading couple. We can see Rehvenge being important in this story and even Torh returning. So the book is huge and there’s a lot going on but we are never lost and that is something very important to me.

How is it that Lover Eternal can be so good and all of the other books in this series are progressively more incoherent
