2.5 stars
So much pointless drama! If Jo and Cormac would have simply talked to each other many of their problems would have been solved. No I did not appreciate what Cormac did at the beginning of the book, but I figured he had a good reason for it. Jo had the right to be mad. She took it too far and ended up acting childish.
Jo was the most special snowflake of them all in this installment. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t do. Although she lacked training, she always managed to pull off some phenomenal magical feat when necessary. When Cormac was away every guy around expressed interest in her. She just wasn’t worthy of that kind of attention. I liked Cormac better before he started drinking the Jo is awesome kool aid. I like Jo but she’s not amazing.
The ending was rushed. The whole book was building up to a battle when it was suddenly over. Once I saw what the resolution to everything was I wondered why that hadn’t been done a book or two ago. Nothing was left open ended, but an epilogue would have been nice just to know a little more about how they fared in the future.

I wouldn't say Jo took it too far because he should have told her that it was a marriage contract and the ramifications of it. I would have been mad too. And with Cormac leaving without telling her why, she had every right to be mad. With me, it would have taken just one time leaving and that would be enough, no matter what the reason. He should have never left without saying anything - especially since he knew he was changing and everyone saw it.

He should have been honest. She was right to be mad, but I felt like she was immature. It showed in the way she dealt with emotional issues. His reasons for doing what he didn't weren't good enough. She should have left him.
