Present Paths

Tales of Emoria #2

by T.J. Mindancer

Jame, Emoran princess, and Tigh, former Supreme Commander during the Grappian Wars, settle into their new life as peace arbiter and peace warrior. They travel from town to town arbitrating cases and discover that being an arbiter includes navigating attempts of under-the-table dealings for favorable legal results.

Jame gets her first at-large case in the swamp city of Maymi to help a local bookseller open her shop against the opposition of the major booksellers in the Southern Territories. But the real facts behind the case have nothing to do with selling books and everything to do with generations of corruption that has straggled the local shop owners. Winning this case could solidify Jame's reputation as a wily arbiter, but she's not sure if the danger is too great after she and Tigh receive not-to-subtle threats to their well-being.

Between hero worshipping teenage girls, battling the army of the Silver Dragon, and getting more than they bargained for with Jame’s first major case, Jame and Tigh discover that life on the road is anything but routine. But life has never been routine for Tigh and Jame as each challenge builds the foundation for their new life together.

5 stars
A very nice easy read.
Which is once again surprising, because on top of all the stuff from the previous book this one also has "fighting the criminal underground and slavers while confronting your own past and identity".
And it still qualifies as light reading.
I was impressed.
And entertained

I loved it. It was a very sweet and easy read. No high drama or death of beloved characters. Problems with easily found solutions. It was just what I needed light and enjoyable. Tigh and Jame have a strong relationship and I’ve enjoyed the creative solutions the come up with to solve the problems they face.

I enjoyed this sequel but there seemed to be almost too much going on. Don't get me wrong, it all came together in the end but there were a few times I shook my head and thought, "wow, how can all of these things happen to them one right after the other?"

But like I said, I did enjoy it and absolutely plan to read the next in the series.

4 stars. This series is quite cozy. That's not to say that Jame and Tigh don't go through things because they definitely do (especially in this book) but it's never too heavy or stressful which I appreciate. Just really fun adventures and a lovely romance. I'll get to book three soon.
