Wayhaven Chronicles: Book Three Reviews

As with book 2, A good sequel and once a gain no real intensity with any antagonists feels more like two and three were a chain to introduce a new villain for the fourth book and onwards. On the other hand though the friction in my Nat/Ava triangle either has started to hit a boiling point or has hit a high note. It still even more so in book three pains me being torn between the two while I try to stay focused on Nat who accepts me rather than Ava who always pushed. Seeing how Ava reacts to my attempts to be happy with Nat hurt so much that I've even considered not doing the love triangle anymore and restarting lol. I'm hoping this pain is worth it in the end as I have powered through with the logic of it being my canon choice. I'm no longer agreeing with my book 2 review where I wanted to struggle lol, it fucking hurts XD. All around I once again think it was a good addition to the story, and while it lacked the intensity of a major antagonist, it made up for in the romance aspect however at this point book four absolutely NEEDS either one but preferably BOTH the love triangle to either peak and boil over/explode and/or an antagonist with similar intensity to Murphy from book one. Both book two and three's antagonists and conclusions with said antagonists were lackluster but the romance aspect held everything together through both. I am not sure this trend can keep things interesting for much longer if it continues. I'd say one more book at absolute max before it feels like this trope/trend is dragging on longer than necessary. IF the next books antagonist isn't a major focus or follows the previous book two and this one, then the romance needs to be the absolute primary focus and if it hasn't peaked it needs to be explosive in book 4. Ideally both the story of book 4 and romance should be explosive to reignite the spark from book one. Logically I believe the author is going to do this as it feels like the end of an arc and the start of a new one. Considering this next one will be book four of the planned seven, this makes the next book the mid point, where I personally believe the relationships (especially the Nat/Ava love triangle) will "explode" and most likely at the end of book 4 the final antagonist for the rest of the series will be introduced. Just a theory though. Sided note I do feel like instead of choosing between Ava or Nat you should be forced to interact with both in the love triangle root the majority of the time where it makes sense as to add more character development between your character and theirs which would in turn make the ultimate choice between the two even more impact and harder. Tldr: I enjoyed it even though I suffered with my love focus being the triangle route, and while I will continue reading the entire series, I am ready for both the relationships and overarching story to progress more than it has in the previous two.
