V average (shrugs). Def had some very fun and very cute parts though!!!
This was a good story in the series. Maybe not as good as the first two but it definitely moved the series along. It's been a good series and I will be bummed when it gets wrapped up.
Slightly less annoying than the first, but still towards the end I was just reading to finish it.
3.5/5
Light and easy breezy. This book while happy and fun lacked the depth of the previous novels. It would have always been hard to follow The Golden Dynasty, book #2 in this series. While I can appreciate that challenge, I was still disappointed. The characters were okay but I never felt like I connected with them. This superficiality made it feel like a filler book, which I detested wading through. Luckily the shortest book so far, it was not a brevity of frustration and irk.
The only piece that was outright bad to me was how Cora spoke. As someone who is pretty much the same age as Cora, I can truly say her language is atrocious. Grown women just do not walk around talking like 16 year olds. Once in a while, perhaps, and it's a cute joke, but all the time?! No. I just do not understand the point of her linguistic failings from a literary stance. Perhaps to further separate her from the Fantasy world? It seems unnecessary and often annoying.
The speech patterns may have contributed to my feeling that Cora is the least enjoyable so far of the Fantasyland heroines. Tor is also my least liked though I somewhat suspect my feelings toward him were due, again, to sensing there was more to him that we never got to see.
Could have been so much better, but it is what it is and I move on.
Note: It became painfully clear in this book how important it is to read this series in order, much confusion and many spoilers for those who read out of order.

A fluffed-nutter sandwich of a book. It pretty much delivered on expectations, based on all the reviews (although I did not think it was terribly sexy although some did), except I had one big annoyance. The author missed out on what I thought was the most fun plot point -when the hero from another world is transported unexpectedly to modern day America. Instead of having fun with that idea, letting us see his first impressions of our world, it all happens off stage. Instead we get eight hours of the heroine cleaning her apartment and making a bologna sandwich! Really? What a wasted opportunity.
I totally enjoyed this book and the series. My favorite series by this author so far.
Again, I love how easy this is to read. But I find myself skipping a ton of unnecessary dialogue. Like all the "sweets", "honey" and "love" crap and the repeated dwellings and woes that were obviously stated and known. There was way too much joking about the damn horse and I know this is a story about a controlling man but a lot of times it was out of hand and I couldn't believe she allowed it and enjoyed it. And there were other times when Tor's behavior was borderline torture/whore-like inducing/Stockholm syndrome for making her "do things" for her food and such.
Overall it has its hot moments but most things turned me off immediately. I really wanted to finish the story to see what happened. But in the end I'm kind of meh about them. I guess it's too corny.

THIS ONE WAS MY FAVORITE OF THE SERIES (till now!) - this installment had everything I loved - a heroine that was honest to God - the most serene and the with a really good heart - she was quite different from the other KA heroines, not because she wasn't strong - she really was but because she was strong in a way that most woman who aren't quite confident are. She was strong in a way that women have to be when they can't be as open as they would have liked to be.
Coming from a patriarchal society, she is the one heroine who I absolutely identified with for her strength wasn't actually in her loudness and her ability to be able to voice her opinion, but it laid in her ability to be true to herself.
“In this world,” I kept whispering, “you were the only thing I had but you were the only thing I needed.”
As usual, Cora of this world has a twin in our world - but the difference between the twins is night and day, literally. The Cora of this world is an evil bitch and that's the mildest expression I could find to use for her. But her twin? Cora Goode, of our world, is a simple woman - she might not have the most adventurous life, but she loves her life and she likes her normalcy. But when she is thrust in a world she doesn't understand without any warning, she unravels a plot that could mean the end of the life in this world.
The fact that her twin is married to a HOT PRINCE aka Noctorno, is the icing on the cake. But Tor doesn't really like her twin (an understatement!), but he slowly starts to humor her, especially considering her total 180 degrees change in her behavior! Even though he doesn't believe her story of being from a parallel world, he still humors her and is really gentle with her, at least with his actions.
The romance they have with each other, isn't lustful at it's base, what it is, is sweet, gentle and heartwarming. And it was so much fun to watch BIG BAD TOR to fall in love with the gentle soul that Cora!
I adored the way Cora handled herself in this new world, even with the kind of havoc that her twin left behind, the grace and humility kept her company and that she went ahead to win everyone's hearts!
“Only you could put color into a colorless world.”
And amazingly, it took a trip to our world, for Tor to understand there are things
Now, this is the book where everything starts to unravel - a plan by the evil witches to destroy the good in this world, and a plan to keep the soul mates apart! Every couple in this series has their own role to play and it becomes a lot more clearer as to where everything is going, series wise and it becomes all the more exciting to see the plot progress.
P.S. Tor also has a twin in this world - Noc, and he is as delish as he sounds and he will get his own HEA in Midnight Soul with a anti-heroine in this series! :D
