I really liked this world and the characters and even the ending. I didn't understand why the bad guy was wielding darkness but I might have just missed that detail because everything else was consistent. I'm taking a star off for incessant uninteresting and repetitive sex scenes that literally bring nothing to the story. I'm adding back a half star because they seem to have been contained to their own short chapters, allowing a reader to choose for themselves to skip or read without missing the actual story. I am aware that I'm reading in a genre that combines fantasy with erotica but #1 that's not how the first book went and #2 where else is the epic fantasy with female main characters?
