![]() ![]() ![]() I love romance in my books, just look at my Goodreads, but I would rather sacrifice a stilted romance and have an exciting read with well-crafted flawed characters that fit authentically within the story. ![]() As it stands, and this may be a bit sacrilegious as a romance reader, we could have used less of the forced chemistry between Tess and Shade to urge the story-line along. I think it would have made it easier to like him as a romantic interest. We know his general motivations but more time could have been spent exploring his past. ![]() I enjoyed Shade’s complexity and wish his background was fleshed out a bit more. It all went a bit wrong for me when Shade was introduced. The beginning of the book is downright exciting and exactly what I expected. Dictatorship complete with an evil book-burning overlord, rebels fighting the good fight from a mysterious location, a ragtag crew of Robin Hoods stealing from the overlord and giving to orphanages, and several other delicious tropes that make Nightchaser a combination that reads like Star Wars and Robin Hood. Bouchet has created an interesting dystopian existence amongst the stars in Nightchaser. ![]()
