I have the next and final book sitting on my shelf, waiting to be read. to me, thats what makes me want to read the next book, not some cheap ploy like ending the book right in the middle of something. that was one of the things i loved about the first book - the ending wrapped everything up nicely but also gave a glimpse of something more. ![]() ![]() i hate cliffhangers with every fibre of my being. Whilst most of the book was pretty good overall, i will complain about the ending though. i appreciate when sci-fi books really dive into all aspects of a particular idea and it was eye-opening to see and think about the moral dilemma with dimension jumping. I really like how this book in particular explores the ethical ramifications of multi-dimentional travelling. but i didnt really mind because the rest of the book was pretty entertaining. all the information that furthers the storyline easily fits into a single chapter, and it happens towards the end. however, this strongly fell under what i consider to be a filler book. this was just as exciting as the first book. the struggle is real, my friends.īut luckily i didnt have to struggle too much with this one. I have so many new series that i want to start, but i made myself swear an oath that i would finish old ones first. ![]() ![]() ![]() The stubborn female may thing she's gotten the best of him, but what this situation calls for is a little hands-on negotiating. ![]() He must have been drunk when he signed that blasted contract. ![]() It's right there in the contract's fine print: No Tomfoolery.Ĭarver Danforthe has a reputation for beautiful mistresses, cutting remarks, and shirking his responsibilities-not for indulging the ambitions of his sister's maid.
