Challenging Saber by S.E. Smith
3.0
I should just copy and paste my last review. It’s frustrating because I feel like this author is immensely creative in terms of creating a story and plot, but she’s just missing the opportunity to really develop this into an epic space opera.
My biggest gripe in this one is there are so many open ended items. Like the author added possible dramatic points, but didn’t resolve them. I’m not talking the major plot ‘cliff hanger’ that I assume will lead into the rest of the series, but rather smaller items pertaining just to Saber and Taylor. For example: what happened to Buzz? Did Ace consider a challenge (it really seemed like he would)? Did they complete their ceremony? What was the last item she added to her list???? That one really got me. I thought for sure it was going to be something good with how it was framed in the story, but apparently not?
Also there are clearly a ton of references to the author’s other series in this book and I haven’t read any of them so I was pretty lost by the end.
Anyway, the rest of the audiobooks aren’t on audible escape so this was probably my last one.
