One example Wrath doesn’t want to have children and Beth does, which we learned earlier in the series. Sometimes a story line will have several pages devoted to it, and then disappear. Entire chapters are comprised of a few minutes in time, or one doctor’s visit, or one conversation. The rest of the book is a jumbled mish-mash of different story lines. It was completely sophomoric and a complete letdown. Misunderstanding follows truth withheld follows misunderstanding and argument, then hot sex, argument, hot sex, hurt feelings, hot sex, then love and the end. Blay loves Qhuinn, Qhuinn loves Blay but has been denying it for years. Supposedly Blay and Qhuinn were the focus of the book, but their story was actually only about one sixth of the total book, at a guess. There is so much going on in this book that it’s hard to know where to begin. Instead, Blay and Qhuinn’s story was given short shrift amongst the many other repetitious plot lines, and was boring to boot. Lover at Last was supposed to be the highly anticipated culmination of the m/m romance that has been brewing through the last few books. After slogging through six hundred pages of nothing much happening except for the cynical additions of several characters and story arcs, I am officially through with the Black Dagger Brotherhood.
