The Warrior by Elin Peer

4.0

FTC DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN E-ARC FROM THE AUTHOR. HOWEVER, I ALSO PURCHASED A COPY FROM A RETAILER AT MY OWN COST! I VOLUNTARILY OFFER MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE BOOK, THOUGH IT IS NOT EXPECTED OF ME! RECEIPT OF THIS BOOK IN THESE MANNERS DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION OF THE BOOK OR THE CONTENT OF MY REVIEW!

Magni's story was one that had been anticipated for quite a while, ever since the beginning of the series, but I was not one of the people that were anticipating this story. I didn't have much interest in Magni, always content to think of him as an entitled jerk. This book revealed a good bit of his softer side, which improved my opinion of him a good deal.

I thought that Laura was rather hard on Magni, often castigating him for things she herself could not do, especially in the communication department. I also hated her manipulation of Magni with her comments about decisions she was making. She knew the impact she would have on him, but did it anyway. It came across as cruel, and I hated her for it, even though I could see myself within her actions.

Laura and Magni were separated for much of the book, and while it was great for introspection and growth, after the long separation of the previous books, it came across as more of the same and rather detracted from the story in my eyes.

I loved the epilogue of the story, and am excited to see where the saga goes from here!
