I am enjoying the series quite a bit, so I was surprised at this one not being as satisfying as the ones before have been. I love Oberon and the Elementals, I enjoy all the shenanigans of the main character and like the mixture of all the pantheons and how they relate to our day. But there were two things that made it a bit less enjoyable for me. One - there is no chemistry in the romance. I understand, the majority of Fantasy/Urban Fantasy authors suck at romance, but usually they succeed at the closeness implied by a budding relationship, and here it just didn't hit the spot. The second issue I had was the structure of the story as a whole. It was choppy and random, and I feel the author is better than this, thus the feeling that he kind of mailed this one in, surprised me...
As I said, the 2300 year old Druid who looks like a young man and has the sense of humor and understanding of consequences of a pre-teen, is entertaining and has one of the best sidekicks in his dog, Oberon, is entertaining and I will be coming back for more of the story for sure!!! 👍😊
