Book 1: Sworn to Raise (3/5⭐️)
Book 1 has a painfully slow start for such a short book. It kind of feels like a companion novel or a spin-off of an existing series, because the world building is written as if the reader should have known some of the basics already. It's nothing I haven't read before, but the characters are pretty interesting, so I would keep going - although I'm not sure if I will end up reading all 13 books.
Book 2: Sworn to Transfer (3.5/5⭐️)
The story is starting to pace up and although it takes everything in me to keep up with the number of characters that keep appearing one after another, I generally enjoy this one better than the first. I am so torn between loving Ciardis and Sebastian's platonic friendship and wanting them to just get together. But seeing as there are THIRTEEN books in this series, I assume that will take a while.
Book 3: Sworn to Conflict (3/5⭐️)
I appreciate the book pacing up, but so much was happening that I'm not sure I could follow everything. For one, I appreciate the fact that Ciardis and Sebastian's relationship progressed, only for it to be taken away again. Also, I'm getting tired of how passive Ciardis is becoming, so easily swayed. Meanwhile everyone around her lies and betrays left and right - so much so that I doubted every information this book revealed, because later on, it would become the opposite of what was told about it at the beginning. With 10 books left, who knows how much more of that I would have to endure, so I won't continue.
