Overall impression: disappointing compared to Sage's Strands of Starfire series (Reign). Despite being written around the same time, this book was too haphazard and it felt like scenes were thrown together at random. Not going to bother with the rest of the books in this series.

Overall impression: going to call it a day with this series. The romance side of things finally perked up, but it isn't worth it at this point because the main storyline is so slow and repetitive, and I just don't care anymore. It would have been a lot better if the action scenes were cut down and the first four books combined into a single one, so it wasn't so much of a slog to get through. Might pick the series up again later, but not in a rush.

Overall impression: as much as I love the premise of this series, I couldn't rate Trolled 5 stars because the storyline is progressing way too s⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Overall impression: as much as I love the premise of this series, I couldn't rate Trolled 5 stars because the storyline is progressing way too slowly. Matti's parents are still missing and there's still an unknown group keeping them captive - so really, nothing has changed since book 1. The fight scenes were getting to be very repetitive and it almost felt like a filler book. The only saving grace was that there was some progression with the romance side of things and Sarrlevi is starting to treat Matti with respect.

Overall impression: if I hadn't read the Hammered series before this then I would have bailed on this book pretty early on. The storyline revolve⭐⭐⭐/5
Overall impression: if I hadn't read the Hammered series before this then I would have bailed on this book pretty early on. The storyline revolved around (view spoiler)[Val trying to find a cure for her boss Willard that got stuck with a magically-induced cancer (hide spoiler)]. The issue was that Val's boss was barely introduced before we were supposed to care about her a lot...so it was mind-numbing listening to the fight scenes when it all seemed kind of trivial and not worth it. The romance side of things was disappointing too, but it's typical of Lindsay's books to have a more slow-burn approach so hopefully that picks up soon to make up for the plot.

Overall impression: despite the amount of action scenes, I don't feel like much happened in book 2 of Legacy of Magic. The characters are just as lost as they were at the start of the book and the only thing that's resolved is that Matti's mother is probably alive somewhere. The FMC/MMC romance progressed slightly and I'm hoping that picks up a hell of a lot more over the next few books.
