Gluttony

4.5 Stars

FINALLY! A book worthy of (almost) 5-Stars. I have been barely hanging on with this series. What started out promising had gone all pear-shaped. With this book K Webster has given me hope it will wrap up on a high note. 

 
This was certainly the best book of the series so far. It was on the longer side. We had minimal repetition. It moved the story forward. Although I felt the Elite (task) part took a backseat to the romance. That wasn't a bad thing as the rest of the books fell short in that regard, so it was a welcome change of pace to actually get a romance that had meat to it. The overall plot and characters also fit the sin of GLUTTONY perfectly. The plot itself also had depth. God's character was well developed. Zemira was probably the most developed (and likable) heroine of the series. It had some heat. No OW drama, but unfortunately (for me) there was still an OW sex scene. I thought it was pretty pointless, but then again, I've thought ALL the OW sex scenes in this series have been pointless and gratuitous. That said, at least in this one it happened right at the start and weeks before he meets the heroine.  Last, it wrapped up in a rather sweet ending that “I” loved, but was maybe a bit weird considering the overall tone of the series. 

TRIGGERS: I'm just adding this because this is one of the few things that can trigger me for personal reasons. So I appreciate a heads-up when a book has this topic. Eating disorder.
