Rated: High for several explicit sexual scenes and a lot of mild/moderate language. I went ahead and read all the plot summaries of the other books so now I know, but I just don’t feel I have it in me to make that sort of investment, at least not right now (they are all 600-plus pages).Īnd there you go. I don’t necessarily regret reading it, I just don’t know if I am thrilled that I spent so long reading it to finish feeling so unfinished. Take from that what you will. That makes me feel a bit better except that, for me, this one was enough. **Addendum: when I went to find an image to go with this post, I discovered that there are more books about these characters - many.
