Wedding Bells, Magic Spells by Lisa Shearin

This was an enjoyable revisit to the Raine Benares series, primarily to see some favorite characters and Raine and Mychael's HEA.
The story itself felt like more like an expanded novella, with a lot of explanation of what happened before. Interactions between many of the characters, as when Raine met her in-laws, were primarily tell rather than show, with little dialogue, making them less satisfying.
I also was uncertain as to the purpose of the story. In one respect, it felt like a wrap-up to the series in a personal sense, but the storyline of the impending threat to elves, goblins, and humans alike suggested it was the beginning of a new story arc in this world.
Overall, it was fun to see the gang again, but the book wasn't up to the quality of earlier ones in the series.
