This series is just getting better and better, I'm loving this series. Just the right amount of sexyness and heart pumping action to keep you turning the page into the early hours of the morning. If you love military romance then this is a must read for you.

I received an arc of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I freaking loved this book. I was laughing the whole way through. The art is really good but I definitely appreciate the dark humor the most.
From sexual bananas to theivi g universes this book has it all.

Repetitive, and a disappointing end to the trilogy.
After getting my hopes up, and initially thoroughly enjoying it, what an absolute stinker this game has turned out to be.
It could have been a great game, but the story, inside and out of the animus, has really let it down.
Firstly, the gameplay is fun, archery, swinging away with axes, beheading everyone in sight, and the mysteries, the new side missions, are an excellent addition, very fun with a great variety, and contain some great little pop cultures references and Easter eggs. The characters are also great, and probably some of the most memorable.
But now the negatives. The first, and for most a deal-breaker, the story. The story is made up of mini-arcs, which all involve gaining allies for your settlement. These tend to be very repetitive in most cases. But of course there are the two main arcs, Eivor's arc, and Layla's arc, the star of the previous two games.
Eivor's arc while very typical, has some really interesting ideas that will blow you away. But don't get too excited, we have no DLC yet, but so far all these awesome ideas and revelations seem to have been forgotten about by the end of the game. The end of his main arc is incredibly dull and predictable.
Layla's arc, unfortunately, while having a good twist, still remains dull, predictable, and comes to a dull, unsatisfactory ending that could have been (and probably was) written in a lunch break.
Finally, the bugs. From day one, this game has had quite a few bugs, ranging from fatal bugs resulting in lost game progress, and preventing the story from progressing, and minor things like being stuck in walls and on viewpoints, horses running out of control (while riding), and being permanently, totally drunk.
Overall, a huge disappointment.

This entry continues (concludes?) the arc about the birth of Jesus with the arrival of the Magi. The book focused on the story, but was still slow at times. The ending was very emotional.

Tahereh Mafi has an incredible gift. Her writing is beautiful in a way that isn't seen much these days. This companion to Furthermore is another glorious fairytale that I couldn't get enough of. I truly hope she continues this captivating series.

Season 2 starts out promising with a fun 2 part story, then the first thee parts to a larger arc. It was great set up for a bigger story, and I can't wait to see where it leads. Good artwork and Gabby continues to be an amazing companion. See www.travelingthevortex.com for a more in-depth review...
