Trial of Three by Alex Lidell
3.0
I enjoyed this book (I did finish it in a day). However, I will say that this one was missing some of the plot that I enjoyed in the second novel. This series has a really entertaining story line that I sometimes feel gets pushed to the side in favor for some of the intimate moments between Lera and the rest of the quint. I wish that these were longer so that I could have more of the really great story line and still keep the relational aspects. Once again, this one fell short of the length I wanted in a true full-length novel.
We finally get a glimpse of Lera's power as a weaver, and it was all too brief. We see the antagonists at work, in the flesh, but it wasn't nearly as much as I would have liked. I want more of those team moments that make the quint the quint, rather than the one-on-one encounters that this book seemed to be filled with.
For all my criticisms, though, I really do recommend the title if you've got a desire for fae, magic, fantasy and steamier scenes. These are quick and really enjoyable reads, and I'm excited for the fourth (and apparently final) installment. But come on, Alex, only four novels in a book about a group of FIVE?
Oh well.
