Ending is a complete trainwreck [no spoilers]

Revisado: 08-28-21

Nothing like wrapping up a good time travel story with an ignored temporal paradox, particularly one that raises serious moral questions about the main characters that are also ignored and are incongruous with the story. Very disappointing.

[Series:] Good action - too much cheesy romance

Revisado: 11-09-17

[This review applies to the entire series, but NO SPOILERS.] The action sequences are very well written and interesting, but certain things about the writing became very annoying and hard to tolerate after 4-5 books, and they detracted from the entire experience. Namely, the excessive amount of inner dialogue. This series easily could have fit into 3 or 4 action-packed books if not for the excessive explanations of how people feel and what they think. THE most annoying thing about the books (particularly the last few) is how often the main characters seemingly re-discover or express how much they love each other. Some reviews have compared aspects of this story to a cheesy romance novel, and that is fair. It is cheesy romance intermixed with good action sequences. Also annoying is the author's overuse of certain terms, such as chaste kiss and tisk. That is just bad writing. I stayed with these books to the end because I wanted to see how they turned out, but by the end I was simply ready for it to be over and did not really care what happened to the main characters. This story is not the Hunger Games, and Violet is no Katniss.
