Lover Enshrined by J.R. WardMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
So far I think this has been my least favourite installment of the series. Not saying that I didn't enjoy it, I just happened to enjoy the others more.
So far each book has focused on a couple and then had the whole Lesser story line and John Matthew et al. story line happening more in the background. For a book the is suppose to be centered more around Phury and Cormia, it didn't feel as though it took up the majority of pages. I don't necessarily think that the other story lines got more pages than the "main" one but it certainly didn't feel like it got the lion's share.
I'm not going to lie, I think that Phury has 99 problems, 95 of which are just imagined, and don't even exist, and the remaining 4 aren't as bad as he thinks. I think there were a few missed opportunities for humour with Cormia. Considering that she has been taken out of and bland and basic environment and then brought into this bizarre and vibrant world, I feel as though the shock and wonder and lack of understanding could have been played upon a little more. This was sort of done right at the end with the other Chosen, and I think at times through out the book this was a missing.
(I'm Going to hide the next sections because of Spoilers)
The Lessers: (view spoiler)
John Matthew: (view spoiler)
Good book and totally worth reading if you have kept up with the series so far.
