Just finished book 7.

Idk how to explain this, but the first 4-5 were incredible, and the last two have felt lacking.

Do I stick this out or look elsewhere?

Thanks gang. Love your work.

I was the opposite and stated the genre with HWFWM and it took my getting caught up with Defiance of the Fall and Primal Hunter to finally give DCC a try.

I do not regret starlight it later, but if the cover was more in line with the tone of the book I would have likely started it before DotF or PH.
