A Kingdom Lost by Barbara Ann Wright

magnetgrrl's review against another edition

3.0

Even into book three I'm still enjoying this series. Mostly. The romance aspect is pretty much over/settled, although angst has crept back in now that Katya and Starbride are separated by war. The political intrigue in the kingdom continues to be interesting! Now other characters are getting hooked up, sort of, but it's not central to the plot. The whole communicating through dreams things is a bit cheesy but, not too terribly so. I'm still in for book four!

Yes, I read this one too, and I was FURIOUS when I realized that it wasn't a trilogy and there was another one! Come on, lady! So much buildup and drama, literal cliffhanger, and I had to go find the FOURTH just to finish the story. This one had long distance magic mind sex in it.

fucking cliffhanger

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Fuck cliffhangers.

The fact that I'm angry means that the story is very good. I did not imagine when I finished The Pyramid Waltz that the story would go from a sweet fantasy romance with a villain thrown in would turn into a saga of bloodshed, death and near total war. Like For Want of a Fiend, this is quite the pageturner.

There's always a risk when

you split up the protagonists

the story becomes a bit disjointed. That was my only gripe with [b:The Eternal Autumn|18748976|The Eternal Autumn (Vaelandrian Goddesses, #2)|Cassandra Duffy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1383437595s/18748976.jpg|26634372] as well.

I really liked the way morality slips into the story where magic is concerned, although it has a bit of "the force" vibe to it.

All in all, I liked it very much.

But fuck cliffhangers.
