This book was great, but it felt as though all the plot missing from the prior three books was shoved into this one.

My biggest gripe with the book is that for all the scheming the Thief of Souls does, his last action of
removing the wards that prevents Callie from glamouring him
is complete and utter stupidity. It felt like his clever character was all but ruined in that moment. I liked that Des
outwitted the Thief by having the Shadows betray him
, but bad decisions? It just felt like a poor way to let
Callie have her revenge
.

Overall, I feel like the series has problems with pacing. It's a plot-driven romance, but each book varies in how much plot and how much romance there will be. This makes it feel like some books are all romance, some are all plot, and then some are a good mix.

It was enjoyable, but not so much that I would choose to re-read the Bargainer series.
