Lord of the Fading Lands

Ok. The cover art for this book is horrendous. It was recommended to me based on some other books that I like, and, wanting an escape from reality, I finally decided to give it a try. I had a few issues with it but finished it in 24 hours and wasn't bored at all.

Definitely a bit of that soulmate action that usually I don't like but the way it's presented here doesn't equal insta-love, which is cool. The characters have to get to know each other and don't just dive into head over heels love despite their magic bond shenanigans.

I'd also like to see less male overbearing protectiveness and more female kicking ass action. I think the main female character has the potential so I'm hopeful that in the next books, she gains some backbone and starts effing up some bad guys.
