Helpful Score: 2
The good: The writing in this story was stronger overall, except for a glaring time inconsistency in the beginning that had me scratching my head and was an obvious editorial oversight. Good characterization, strong, vivid descriptions that were just right, very creative plot and use of minor characters.
The not so good: In the end, there was a sort of WTF moment when the heroine went from being TSTL for much of the book to apparently smarter than she had acted up until that point in a way that made absolutely no sense whatsoever (she assumed something about the hero that no one else in their right mind would have assumed under the same circumstances). And the ending overall was a little bit of a letdown, because the rest of the book was pretty dang good. Too much "deus ex machina" device when they could have written it a bit stronger.
Overall, not a keeper for me, but not a bad book.
Maybe it's because I'm reading them all at once, but I wish they didn't seem to be falling into the same sort of predictable plot pattern.
