The first series was a fantasy story with a romance plot line.  This series is an angsty romance novel in a fantasy setting.

I'm really not enjoying this as much as Legends of Thezzmar.  This book felt like it was all angst for the sake of angst and very little actual plot.  It doesn't help that we have the dreaded martyr complex in both the FMC and the MMC.  I had hoped that the angst wouldn't be an drug out as it was, but it seems I was wrong.   I'll probably give these one more shot when book three eventually comes out, but so far, this series has been a big let down compared to the previous one.
