I was SOOOO bored. The sex is so dull and uninteresting, which is worrying considering this entire series is meant to be a mindless, plotless erotica series.
The characters are still so boring, too. Kaiser was given slightly more attention and interest in this one, but Hal, Elwood, and Kaiser are all still such wooden and boring people to read and listen to. Also, I'm sorry, but for a series that was marketed as a poly romance, there is very little polyamory happening – while a triad isn't necessarily an endgame goal for all poly relationships, I was still expecting some sort of amicable and developed relationship between Elwood and Kaiser, but the two seem as distant as ever.
Again, if you're looking for erotica, go read some AO3 fanfiction. I can promise you that it'll likely be both better written and far more developed than this series.
