Blaze of Memory

Unfortunately just didn't really connect with this one. I don't think there's anything wrong with the characters, per say, it's just that they didn't hook me like a lot of the other couples did. Maybe I just didn't enjoy being outside of the packs after spending so many books with them, even though there are only so many established characters in the packs to draw from for stories.

Most of Singh's books are insta-love by definition, but this one was especially egregious in my opinion. I don't know the exact timeline but it felt like these two only really knew each other for about a week before they were committed for life. I'm pretty sure their first charged encounter only happened like a day or two? After they met officially. With no Changeling mating bond to hand-wave it away since these two are Psy, it was a little much for me.

Also just didn't really like the prisoner/jailer dynamic these two had going on for most of the book. It makes sense within the plot, but given Katya's background this just seems like something that would need a lot of distance and care before it could turn romantic, and they just didn't do that. It made me a little uncomfortable.

The lore saved it though. We got even more insight into the Council, Councillors, and the first stirrings of what's happening to the PsyNet in the Trinity series, so I'm still super excited for the next one!
