Sworn to the Orc by Evangeline Anderson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 89%.

Ugh this book!! I just couldn’t anymore at the end. It started off cute with the small town fall vibes—very sweet Halloween Town—and then just failed to launch. The adventure/quest segment of the plot was kinda lame and I was uninterested. It made me realize how terrible the dialog was (especially the dirty talk) between the MCs. I didn’t think there was enough character development, especially for the MMC. The use of baby made me cringe (already not my favorite nickname, but this felt like a crime). The audio narration was alright, but perhaps a little over done at certain points acting wise (so many breathy moments). The romance didn’t have any real building blocks and was frankly disappointing.

I really loved the first book in this series, but wow did I struggle with books two and three. There seemed to be a lot of extra details I didn’t care for and by the end of this book I was barely making it through. Frankly, I was bored. I don’t think this needed to be a trilogy, this could have easily been one book (maybe a duology). Series editing was needed IMO. I didn’t like how the romance took a back seat in books two and three. And this book in particular had a lot of detail that I felt was unnecessary and uninteresting. I’m sad I couldn’t vibe with this one more, but I’m happy it’s over.

I’d read this in the claimed among the stars anthology, but it seems Victoria Aveline added a bit at the end to wrap the story up more. I loved the ending addition, especially since we got to see another part of the Clecanian culture they hadn’t been explored in the series yet. Always like a redemption story, I think Maladek makes a good character.
