On the flip side, this was my least favorite book in the series. It was much shorter than the other books for reasons unbeknownst to me (my understanding is that the authors head the indie publishing company by which these books were published so surely it wasn't an external deadline...?). Kian and Rosemary were separated for the vast majority of the book, and the tidbits of their relationship that had been sprinkled throughout the other three books weren't really resolved, which was supremely disappointing. I found the plot with the elfs to be super interesting and compelling, but it seemed like it supplanted most of the character work at the heart of the series.
