In the past I’ve been of the opinion that there’s never too much of well crafted characters, the more of their journey, the better. Book 6 of the mistress series tested this theory. I loved reading about the next phase of Jamie and Graham’s story when I approached the characters as though they were new. However, the continuous references to the past frustrated me because most I simply couldn’t remember this many books later.
I was excited that Jessa Bell didn’t have a role in this storyline, and I’m intrigued if Bryant will continue with exploring the minor characters independently. She definitely set this up to be possible with this ending. Overall, her books usually read like a movie in my head, but this one didn’t meet that expectation in some areas. It’d be too wordy or descriptive and I simply failed to conjure the image I believe she wanted. 4 stars but definitely my least favorite in the series to date.
