Patricia Wrede’s Caught in Crystal
This one is a little more interesting than its predecessors with both plot and characters: our protagonist is a thirty six year old widowed mother of two, running an inn, when a sorceress and a wizard with ties to her past come searching for her (separately). I actually couldn’t figure out when in the world's chronology this was meant to take place, though I had the impression it was a prequel? Anyway it’s pretty good, but ends the same way as all the other ones (final battle is somewhat anti-climactic and then there’s a heteronormative kiss, the end). I don’t really have high hopes for the last one but it’s an entertaining enough way to spend an evening, I suppose. B+.
