Every review I...Thank you thank you thank you!! Every review I've read has swooned about the romance and it made me feel a little…icky. I won't say more just in case I ruin it for anyone reading this comment, but I just wasn't feeling the romance. At all. I mean, part of me feels like it was meant to be, but there's that icky, disturbing factor that won't go away. Glad to know I'm not the only one! :) ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-65156831732381477222014-11-04T09:23:29.509-05:002014-11-04T09:23:29.509-05:00"I'm always impressed when an author can ..."I'm always impressed when an author can make me understand an unlikable character." YES YES YES. I think that now, re-reading your thoughts on this, I can appreciate this more. I want to re-read this series in succession because I absolutely loved the first book but it's been so long since I read it. Ismae is my favorite - I say that on every blog I visit - and I just miss her so much. But knowing NOW what I do about The Abbess, I wonder how I will feel if I read the series again? Because she is one tough cookie all the way through. I feel like the author planned this from the beginning so I want to experience it again.

It *is* a little strange, especially if you start thinking too hard about it lol. But I think it's the fact that I loved the guy so much - he's totally my type - so I was able to overlook the awkward.<br />Great review, L! So glad we got to pick this one up at BEA. ;DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06307895303115762938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-64988392590424694302014-10-31T13:42:22.200-04:002014-10-31T13:42:22.200-04:00Nooooo.

And I must admit to loving the romance in book one and two the most, but I loved the man in this one too, hih. <3 But other than that, I'm glad you loved the book :) Thank you for sharing your awesome review sweetie. <3Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-5437246320178647202014-10-31T08:35:59.712-04:002014-10-31T08:35:59.712-04:00I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to read this series Lauren!...I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to read this series Lauren!!!!!! I feel like the only person who hasn't yet, BUT, now that all the books are out I plan to dive in and not resurface until I've binge read all three:) I'm bummed the romance in this one didn't work quite as well for you though, I"ve heard such great things about the previous two couples. Still, seems like it's definitely a worthwhile read!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-82793483448390464982014-10-30T20:40:56.774-04:002014-10-30T20:40:56.774-04:00I've had copies of these books for quite a whi...I've had copies of these books for quite a while but still haven't gotten a chance to check them out. I think I'm most excited about the historical aspects you mentioned plus assassin nuns! I'm glad you enjoyed the conclusion.

I still thought they had great chemistry and I just loved that we the three characters were back together. I can see why you were disappointed though. <br />Great review! I talked about A Thousand Pieces of You on the blog today if you're interested to see why it didn't work for me btw! :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-73959061941156807542014-10-30T16:09:42.085-04:002014-10-30T16:09:42.085-04:00After such a strong romance in Dark Triumph, I thi...After such a strong romance in Dark Triumph, I think I'll be sharing your views on the romance in this installment, sadly. *sigh* Still, so glad to hear there's a strong cast of female heroines--I never tire of those.
