A review by erikawastaken
Fallen University: Year Three by Callie Rose
3.0
Series review: 2.5
I liked the premise for this series, and I felt like the succubus thing was an excellent way to explain the RH aspect.
I just feel like the series, and this third book especially was trying to do too much and felt rushed. I think that, especially with the slower pacing of the first two novels where we are seeing the guys come to terms with the bond, this felt like a whole lot of action, that well, wasn’t that interesting. I found myself skipping pages during the fight scenes and just waiting for the story to get to the end.
I also feel like a lot of stuff was glossed over or unresolved so we could get to the battle. Sonja’s storyline had such a wimpy resolution, especially since no one seemed to care Gavariel had found a way to communicate with students directly. Also, even a line or two explaining why the custodians placed such a high value on the exams (and not just “they’re paper-pushing nerds. LOL.”) would have improved the book so much. It’s not uncommon to see the good side hampered by the rules when the bad guys just ignore them. It would have been great to have it be some rule to keep the universe's balance or something that gave weight to it.
