I loved this series and it’s kind of obvious in that I read it in less than five days. I would’ve read it faster, but pesky work and being somewhat sociable got in the way. I’m glad I read the series, as it gave me three squares on my BOTNS Bingo card so I at least feel like I made an effort! Plus having read the first few paragraphs of this review and learning the publishing history behind the Muirwood series, I’m glad I gave it a chance because of my women with weapons are awesome mindset.
