I know which book won't be competing for a place on my list of top blue barbarians.
It all made sense by the end, and was critical to the MMC's growth, but the kidnapping followed by the FMC just giving up on getting back to save the injured pair of blue males, choosing instead they must have died in a matter of hours (when they had at least a day's journey to get back to the healer to begin with) was aggravating. I didn't feel the MMC ever earned her trust and it grated on my view of their relationship.
But, as usual, Dixon does a great job of tying everything neatly together by the end, and the story was cozy and sweet overall. I think this will be a story that will resonate with certain people, but I am not one of the chosen.
