Lover At Last
Charis says:
Bit morose after finishing this yesterday. Felt a bit ripped off as this is the book weʻve been waiting years for and it ended up with heaps of focus going to secondary characters of Assail, Xcor, and Layla. Even Trez seemed to get more air time than Blay and Qhuinn. I doubt any true fans of this series could give a toss about these secondaries when weʻve been hanging out for the Qhuay storyline to get proper coverage for at least the last four books, probably longer. Where was John Matthew? Shouldnʻt he have more to say on his best friends finally getting together? What 25 year old chooses Journeyʻs ʻDon't stop believing' as their wedding dance song? They don't, that song is about ten years too irrelevant... Why is JR telling us that Trez has only clapped eyes on Selena for the first time? Iʻm pretty sure they met a few books back. The last two chapters (one was the epilogue) seemed too contrived. Like JR had just realised her deadline was tomorrow morning and not in... two weeks time so she slapped together a silly epilogue of an impromptu secret mating ceremony between Qhuinn and Blay which ended with the words: And they lived happily ever after. Are you serious? I canʻt even discuss this with you if you think that is a fair way to resolve this plotline in the story arc. Yes, it is JRʻs baby but her characters and the readers who love them deserve a lot better writing than what she gave us. Iʻm over my rant now but will continue to chew/ stew over the injustices served up in Lover at Last. It makes me sad that the boys were dispatched in this manner.

I'm so happy that Blay and Qhuinn finally got together. I was starting to feel sad for the poor Blay, so much longing whereas he was hitting a brick wall. I've always loved them both, and their story is one of my favorite of all of the BDB series. Their story progresses through a few books and the readers can see how their friendship and their love goes through the hard patches and ultimately grows. I really wish for Layla to get a happy ending in some way, because the poor thing been through so much and not many good things have come her for her.MoreLess
