A review by jeremiah_mccoy
Lesser Evils by Erin M. Evans
4.0
This is better than the first book. There are less devils involved in this story, so I was less distracted by there annoying portrayal in D&D. This is a straight up D&D adventure for the most part. The new characters are a bit shallow but enjoyable non the less. Farideh and company get sucked into a races to a lost netherese archive against Shadovar forces. Good comradery. The mysteries in the archive are fun to see unfold.
My one problem, which is a little of hold over from the previous story, is the parts involving the devils. A more annoying thing is the fact Farideh is still swooning over her abuser, Lorkin. In the first book it could be forgiven, she is young and he holds power over her. Book two, she goes out of her way, risks her life and her friends lives to rescue a guy who is emotionally abusive, manipulative, and also a freaking Devil. This is super irritating in the way that Twilight and other romances often go. It is a trope I kind of hate and I want it to go away.
That said, the rest of the book is excellent. I like all the main characters with the exception of Lorkin. The heroine gets to be pretty heroic.
