If I had to say what bothered me the most about this books series, it would be the rhythm of the story. Time went by so fast that by the fourth book I had lost count of how old Alanna was. It was confusing too. The story went from event to event without consideration for the time in between. One second I would be cheering for Jon and the next it would be months later and George would be my new favourite. Then it would be Jon again… and all that only in one book!
Her tendency to go “adventuring” to run from relationship was irritating. I am not against her going anywhere, just her reasons for doing so. Couldn’t she have at least brought one of the guys with her to keep things interesting? That said, I loved these books anyway.
When Liam appeared, I thought she had finally found someone like her: independent and adventurous. But it turns out he’s scared shitless of anything magical! His whole appearance in the book turned out to be kind of pointless because of it. They were doomed from the start. I am so happy that she ended up with George! He was her one romantic prospect with whom she hadn’t been with over a long or extremely short period of time. With Jon it was an on-again off-again thing and with Liam it was only a fling. I would have hated that she didn’t explore what they had together before deciding to be with him though.
