So I stayed up until after 3am on Thursday finishing Protectors. Hands up who saw that coming? ;) No, but as I saw the end creeping nearer and nearer I just had to know what happened. So here are some thoughts on it. Spoilers, obviously, and if you do intend to read the novel in full I'd recommend waiting until you have to read this, as there were

I can't wait for you to read the next book and give me more spoilers! :D LOL

Thanks for sharing. When I read The Eternal Tide I have to admit I wasn't overly impressed with KB's writing. It wasn't bad, but it didn't suck me in either. Idk, I have ff writers I prefer :D Plus this tells me what I need to know about the canon relationship :D

I can only agree. My reading experience is of course strongly coloured by my personal investment in J/C. However I enjoy a good story and in that regard Protectors is actually a step forward imo. The overall writing has improved and I find myself quite engaged and interested in the different story arcs and characters and am looking forward to more( Cambridge continues to be a revelation

YES! Everything you said in your comment is exactly how I felt! The odd nonchalance, the way they seemed to backpedal somewhat - pretty much exactly what you said. ;)

Thank you! I don't seem to be able to write anything except fluff these days. XD

Fluff is good. Fluff is needed ;)
