Wrath by John Gwynne

Spoiler!

So I’ve been loving The Faithful and the Fallen series since book one. I’m now on Wrath and have about 200 pages left. But, I just needed to come here and vent.

Overall this might be my least fave of the four. I’m still enjoying it but it’s one fight after another. Over and over. And it’s feeling formulaic. You think one side will win then the other side somehow pulls it off. But the thing that’s really getting to me is the back and forth with Lykos and Fidele. How many times is he gonna kidnap her? How many times is he gonna escape Maquin’s blade? Well, now I know there’s no more kidnapping Fidele. That scene just pissed me off. Maquin leaves her alone with just a couple people watching her. Then lets Lykos escape the cave and get back to Fidele. Then Lykos escapes again. The whole thing was a bit face palmy. Just end this whole Lykos/Maquin thread already. I’m still enjoying the book a lot. But this story line has more than worn out its welcome.

Ok, rant over. lol.
