The Darkest Touch discussion

Please let her do right by my main man, Torin!!!!! Anybody else with me? The last book in the series had about as much sex as the Twilight series (ick)!

I've wanted Torin's story since the very first one! He's my favorite after Strider.

I have been waiting to hear Torin's tale from book one, so stoked!

Could just be me, but I finished reading it today and I was not loving Torin and the Red Queen together at all. Not to mention the actions of the pair of them was so teenage romance than an adult one. And the simple butt solution that would have aided them in being together without being sick was just...gouge out my eyes ridiculously simple that they had to have a third party that neither liked point it out to them.

I had high hopes for this book and have to say I found it disappointing. The best part was catching up with the previous couples from the series. The romance between The Red Queen and Torin was painful - I actually found Cameo and Lazarus more interesting. I really loved Torin but this was not good.

These books have been my guilty pleasure and a nice break from what I normally read. I've always looked forward to them. That being said, I couldn't even finish this and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Like everyone else I couldn't wait for Torin's story. Well, if this is it I would have been willing to wait longer for something that didn't read like it was written by and for teenagers. It was ridiculous. Gena's writing is getting progressively worse with the last two Lords novels. She needs to get back to her roots or just stop.

I actually enjoyed it compared to Kane's story which made me cringe with the whole boring Cinderella tromp through fairy land and *shudders* the mention of shopping. I'm just glad my top fave Lords managed to get their stories before Gena went from the best to just lukewarm.
