Corsairs: Mathiras by Ruby Dixon
3.0
Not my favourite Corsair.
Jade & Adiron started Corsair Brothers in such a way that they'd already set the bar high. From Adi being his jolly self, Kesper getting all hot-headed to the stoic-faced Lord Straik getting pulled down a notch or two, I enjoyed every single minute of this. But Mathiras was the book I had been waiting for after Kesper's, so I remember being pretty frustrated when that did not happen. But it's okay, Lord Straik grew on me, so I won't complain about that any longer.
The glaring issue for me with Mathiras was that all of their problems relating to the illegal smuggling could've been closed at the end of the previous book or just at the beginning of this one, so that Helen and her hot alien beau got a storyline different from the rest.
I can't speak for other readers, but after three books, I was ready to move on to some other sub-plot or a new arc but I got 566 pages of off-paced romance that picked back up on the same situation. Helen was cool, but Mathiras got on my nerves. Sheesh dude, make-up your mind already!
I don't even have to say how much I love the universe RD has built in her books but this one wasn't for me. Which sucks, 'cos the cover's hot. x
