bookishhill 's review for:
Munro
by Kresley Cole
3.5/5 ⭐️s
Okay, FIRST OF ALL. The reset to Munro and Ren’s story after the sneak peak we got at the end of MacRieve really annoyed me. I feel like KC had in mind the story she wanted to write for them then changed her mind. I wish we hadn’t gotten that epilogue a few books back because I was expecting a volatile she-wolf who hated her mate for turning her. The story we did get just didn’t live up to that idea in my head.
As disappointed as I was though, I did enjoy Munro and Ren’s romance. They still had a volatile start, though I felt like it lacked any real chemistry. Their quest to steal La Dorada’s ring (Munro to wish Ren immortal and Ren to wish herself back to her time) was fun - I loved the morality question at play with this plot. Does Munro turn Ren immortal against her wishes? Does Ren go back in time for her own happiness when there’s a possibility she’ll ruin the happiness of her loved ones? The best fantasy novels are based in human problems, and the problems Munro and Ren faced are easily related to.
The best part of the newer books in this series is the rapidly moving Accession plot. We’re getting so much information now, and I’m both anticipating and dreading the climax of Nix’s efforts.
Spice: 3/5
