The Mercenaries of the Stolen Moon by Megan Derr

Well... One star. I was looking forward to this one, because I like the High Court and the bickering between the MC's. Insults and sarcasm are my kind of humor. And that didn't occur in this book.
The plus side of skimming: I noticed only two editing errors.
The plot was identical to the other three books: lovers get separated and travel through the countries. Lots of history and politics while waiting for the story to pick up.
You have to excuse me for rating a book which contains something I knew beforehand I do not like: female erotic scenes. It bothered me in book three a bit, when I was surprised one of the "he's" had female genitals. I should not have read this.

Not one of my favorites in this series. There was a lot of exposition on politics that I didn't quite get (I feel like a color coded map would make this stuff a lot clearer instead of me trying to remember a bunch of random fantasy country names). Also, none of the three main characters seemed all that concerned with their imminent deaths which took away the tension at the end.

Ugh this series is just so damn precious. And all the characters are so dang endearing. Trans-ness is so completely integrated and seamless in this world and series and it is so lovely.
