Dragonmark by Sherrilyn Kenyon
2.0
While I absolutely love Kenyon's world and the intricacies she's created, this book fell short drastically. Illarion and Edilyn's romance could have been developed better. Anyone who read Son of No One already knows the rough story of their relationship. That rough description was barely expanded on in Dragonmark. Kenyon has incredible skill at showing a love story and how healing genuine love can be, as evidenced by Acheron and Styxx (the best two books in the series, in my opinion). Given Illarion's past, Kenyon's skills should have been shining through, but I was left feeling a little ripped off.
Instead of giving readers a copy and pasted second half, she could have followed her pattern for Acheron and Styxx by doing 2 parts in the book. At the very least we could have learned more Edilyn and what she goes through, rather than rehashing the major moments from Son of No One and Dragonsbane.
With all due respect, Ms. Kenyon, you're a better writer than this. I hope the next Dark Hunter shows us that.
