Hit or miss series...
582438
I've come to realize that for me, the books in this series are hit or miss. I loved Moneyshot and the first two in this series and the others were just ehhh for me.  I know I'm in the minority. I know I will get Not helpful votes, but that's okay. This is just my opinion and everyone has one. We're all different and we all don't like/love the same things.

Plain and simple, this was not a romance. The h, Katie, has very little interaction in this book. We get no background, no introductions, she's just an afterthought through most of this book. The sexual chemistry seemed forced. It was an odd combination. It felt more like a friend protective relationship than a lover one. The few kissing and fondling scenes seemed thrown in randomly.

This book is mostly getting to know A-Train/Alec. Learning about him and how his mind works. I did think that the author did a great job potraying the H. I thought the military chapters were very dramatic, emotional and thought provoking. Job well done on that part.

Here is another book that has word for word scenes from previous books. That has happened with every single book (besides the first one) in this series. It doesn't feel like it's from a different character's point of view because instead of portraying the emotion from the character, adding thoughts or feelings from the character - it's just a word for word repeat. Nothing new is gained. It's terribly frustrating.

Sadly, romance wise, this was a miss for me.

I read this through the KU program.

I've purchased several books in this series and my son and I love the series as a whole. However, quality varies widely from title to title and this is not one of the better ones. It is okay but I can't really recommend it. The writing ranges from poor to mediocre, there is an overemphasis on goldfish, and it's not very informative.

If you don't have the series that these are pulled from, or are a big action fan, you'll probably enjoy this collection.

However, owning where they all come from makes them redundant.  And there's very little context within or introduction as to what the current conflict is over.

If you're into action and fight scenes go for it.  If not, skip it.

I read a couple of this series, and they were okay.  Not sure if I'll read more by the author or not.

I wanted to love this story, I read the entire series just sure it was going to get better... It really didn't. The characters where lacking, the action was lacking, the word build was lacking, basically the entire series was lacking. This series had the potential to be really good, but in my opinion fell short in all aspects.

The series up to this point has been pretty entertaining, and though I was disappointed by this entry, I will probably still go for one more to see if the author can get back to what worked well...  The problems with Knights Magi are pretty severe, there are some major plotlines that aren't internally consistent, and I wish that wasn't the only issue.  The female characters are caricatures, props for Tyndal and Rondal to argue over and about.  Previous entries in this series have told a good story, developed characters and the world, and generally been pretty decent fiction, make you look forward to the next book kind of stuff... this entry tells three stories poorly, and makes you want to close it and put it out of it's misery.

I don't understand the high reviews. This series is mediocre at best.

I enjoy series books (e.g. John Sanford), and was looking for a new author to try. Given the success of this series, I'm surprised at how lukewarm this book is and how popular. I may try another in the series, but if it isn't considerably better, I won't read any more.

So sorry that this fell flat after 24, five star books.  Weak plot, a couple of very awkward lines about menopause and salting the s*** out the egg salad(wtf?)  Did someone else write this book?  I had to force myself to finish it because I kept thinking it would revert back to the old style of writing.  NOT!  So very sorry that this series has fallen flat.  It was the one series that I counted on for the perfect read.

Great concept, questionable execution. As many have already said, the editing is non-existent and the writing is questionable. But if you're a KU member already you can borrow it at no additional cost. And at that price it's worth taking a chance on and I'm glad I did.

FWIW, I've read all the books in the series released to date and I just borrowed the recently released prequel. If it helps, the writing does improve and I'm pretty sure an editor at least looked at most of the later books.

I started this series just looking for something to read and thought why not, if it's terrible  at least I didn't spend much. I'm glad to report it is not a terrible series I am so sucked in! Keep them coming :)

Overall, I recommend this series and would give the series a higher rating in its entirety.  In my opinion, one of the strengths of this series is the characters and in this final volume several of the main characters were marginalized.  Additionally, I found this particular slice of the overall story arc lacking compared to the previous installments.

In summary, this is a good but not great book series and the concluding volume was  a bit of a let down.

The series was going along just fine then, bam! Off in a different direction. The characters didn't hold up very well to the plot change. Either needed to be in two different books or another series unto itself. Not smooth at all.

Series has definitely gone downhill. This one the answer is really obvious at the start, but I cannot say why without spoiling the story (though anyone with a brain stem will figure it out).

This author's books are hit or miss. Some you are glad you read and enjoyed, while others (this one) you're sorry the time was spent. Characters were not interesting and one was really annoying. Only a couple of pages of hard to swallow action.

Not great writing or story, but still entertaining and worth reading if you are a fan of the characters and series. More of the same. In this case thats not a bad thing.

It is something to watch.  Some of the series are very good.  Some not so much.
