Ocean Light by Nalini Singh
3.0
2nd read, 5/8/20: I'm in that weird place with this book where I feel like I enjoyed it more the second time around, but I am also knocking it down to 3 stars because everything I already said still applies. I'm not wild about instalove, but I did enjoy the exploration of the BlackSea changelings. The biggest thing is still the complete lack of plot. It's just all Bowen. Which is...fine. But I wanted more Consortium. Just something...more than what we got.
1st read, 11/18/18: Weaker than the last few novels by a landslide. I'm glad to see Bowen happy, but we're no closer to figuring out why the BlackSea changelings have been kidnapped, what the Consortium has plans for next, and how they're going to fix the issue of adding humans into the PsyNet. All of these things were studiously ignored in favor of the burgeoning romance and the issue behind the chip in Bowen's head until the last 30 pages, and even that was a weak effort. The only reason this book gets four stars is because Nalini is a great writer who hooks you in deep with the romance stories she spins. But the plot! THE PLOT. I miss it and I wish it would surface sometime soon...
