Yes the whole plot relies on a completely unexplained “feeling” which she decides to pursue RATHER THAN fleeing from/finishing off an Atrika demon that wants to turn her into a sex slave and brood mare. She twice has the same feeling above this underground room which has a tunnel which she uses to enter the warlock hideout and she only follows it up the second time thereby Saving The Day.
But book 4? Ugh.įor reasons unknown our fire witch Sarafina gets a “feeling” that something important is somewhere and goes wandering and *gasp* so there is! Can there be a weaker, more pathetic way to move the plot forward than to have the character do random crap because “they got a feeling”? NB in no way shape or form are fire witches psychic… so why? How? I thought book 3 was bad, with them deciding that the best way to keep Claire safe was to take her on a road trip to avoid the teleporting demons who can travel anywhere in the world in a second rather than using the coven’s overwhelming numbers, magic and copper weapons. But there’s some other stuff that bugs me, worst of all – the plot doesn’t work.
But without the endless shagging other annoyances became apparent - the tropes were annoying – big strong man must tell you what to do to protect you, oh delicate petal of womanhood. I was actually glad of this, I’ve always said that Anya Bast actually has a great world and a great story if she’d only cut down on all the excessive shagging.
So I’ve finished Anya Bast book 4 and with it the entire series (it felt like an ending, I don’t think she could write a book in the same series though I know she’s written others)Īnd there was LESS sex.
