I'm frustrated by the fact that there's been minimal character growth since the first book - the general conflict appears to be along the line of Raine worries about using the Saghred and turning to the dark side, she gets reassurance that's not happening, she uses the Sagred's power when attacked by enemies, and then we're back to worrying that the Saghred will corrupt her. And yes, we know she's a Benares already and all that entails.Okay, lack of growth aside aside - it's not all bad. There's snarky humour and interesting secondary characters. And I'm determined to finish this series, just to find out how all the loose ends are tied up. Well...I finally finished the series. I consistently rated the books 3.5 and gave them the benefit of a 4 since you can't give half scores but in the end, I gotta go with a 3 for the series. Everything was just too neat and tidy. I'm all for a positive ending, but for a book with so much supposed danger, nobody really died. Not even peripheral characters. I think that was a mistake.Anyway, it was an ok read. It's not like I'm disappointed in the investment of my time into them, but I won't miss them now that they're done.
Do You like book Con & Conjure (2011)?
This series is getting better and better.
