It's giving tooth-aching sweet, April 10, 2023The Wayhaven Chronicles continues to deliver on the supernatural, sweet, and steamy. The writing, romance, characters are all as wonderful as previous books. Book 3 has lots of sweet and steamy scenes and I could not be happier, they're the star of the show, completely outshining the main plot which to me felt a little lackluster.
Personally, there is a certain slow burn romance that is turning out to be a little too angsty for me to love it completely, it's kind of heavyhanded in the "I like you but we can't" department. The main issue I have however is that there is a lot of side characters, and there's seemingly always more introduced (and quickly forgotten). There were also a few times when despite everything going well the characters acted as if my character was on the brink of death, but I'm here for the theatrics so play on!
Upon a few replays, Book 3 is the weakest of the series so far--while the romance is stellar, no surprise there, it is where all the attention has gone it appears. The main plot surrounding the 'antagonist' felt like a whole lot of nothing, a minor annoyance rather than a big threat. The final mission felt very rushed and deserved a lot more.
Stumbled upon the Book 3 review without playing the previous games?
If you're not a fan of plot armor, 'chosen one's, 'perfect at everything (except for when the plot says so)', or dramatic characters then the series might not be for you. TWC leans heavily towards more story than game, and so far there are few (if any) consequences for messing up, which makes it a good stress-free play.
