It's not a great book but there was some fun to be had.  Very much high fantasy with training wheels, especially entertaining if the reader is coming from a romance background. 

I was fine with only reading one of the books until I got to the very end, now I'll need to read the next entry in the trilogy. I'm not mad it's just a rather cliche trick to pull.
