A review by valjeanval
Chapel of Ease by Alex Bledsoe

4.0

I really love the Tufa, and I make a point of downloading the next book whenever I go to my in-laws' house in the Smokies. Bledsoe really does justice to this landscape and I love his fae interpretation. That said, this installment really needed more of those two thing. The switch to first person, human POV didn't work for me, and while I'm always happy to read more diverse characters, Matt often seems defined by little else other than his sexuality and refusal to do literally anything anyone asks him to do. Emily's storyline gets zero emotional investment, and I just wanted more Bliss, Mandalay, and Bronwyn. Giving it a 4 because I love the series as a whole, but this was not the strongest volume.
