Pathfinder's Way (The Broken Lands, #1)

by T.A. White

Witt paused by Dane as he followed her down the hill. “Perhaps you shouldn’t do any more thinking. It really doesn’t suit you.”

I do like him.

Before she could say anything, much less act. Witt grabbed Paul by the back of the neck and slammed him face first into the wood countertop.

I knew I liked him. He's probably going to die now isn't he?

“Then they’re fools. Women are some of the most vicious fighters I’ve ever seen and can be just as capable as any man.” “Makes sense. In nature, the female is likely to be the meaner one of the species, especially when it comes to the young,” Shea said.

There better be a reason behind this invasion other than pride.... Although we just had an example of low land treachery.

Since she’d given up her opportunity to escape, she was back to playing the obedient soldier. One day she was going to get control of herself and stop doing stupid shit to save ungrateful idiots.

Sounded like Fallon had united the Trateri by giving them a common enemy. People tended to forget their differences and band together when they had something to fight against.

Hmm so ambition and possibly to save his own at the expense of the invaded.

That would set a nice example. If he did that, however, it might make her hesitant to bed him.

Ya think? Asshole.

And there was the rub. This entire army revolved around his whims. If he wanted to camp in the middle of a river, they’d figure out a way to make it happen.

I was actually enjoying this bookk to this point. Here in this context he's acting like a complete asshat.

Now he was onto insults. “You don’t belong here.” Yeah, yeah, yeah. She’d heard that one before.

Dude..... did she ask to BE THERE. Assholes. Just let her go home. Brainwashing sadists

Why wouldn’t he just leave?

>< Seriously that is not ok. He has NO boundaries. This is not charming or seductive .... it's obnoxious and creepy.

That was pretty much another way to say kidnapping. There wasn’t a lot of places a relationship could go from there.

My point

She grasped his wrist tightly for balance. He wasn’t hurting her. His grip was firm on her neck but not harsh.

Bullshit. it's degrading and he's constantly threatens his OWN men to force her compliance. WTF is the author smoking?

She didn’t want to be one of them. She liked herself just the way she was. Shea, a pathfinder of the Highland guilds, a scout for the Dawn’s Riders.

Again my point.

Shea’s breath shuttered in her lungs as her eyes drifted shut. She wanted this man. Even

Are you freaking kidding me? He poisons her, dismisses her autonomy and the author thinks THAT is the logical result? Seriously was this written by a man?

“Continue with the previous plan,” Fallon ordered. “If she wants to be a guard, treat her like a guard.”

She DOESN'T want either of the 2 options . I seriously want to beat him with a bat of some sort. The book was going so well until this complete BS.

Well, shoot. Evidently, she was supposed to be serving him.

His guards are also servants? Why would anyone WANT this freaking job? I don't care what the author thinks i want to stab him with a fork or drown him in his bath at this point.

Shea couldn’t count the covenants Witt was breaking. If any in the Highlands found out how much he’d just revealed, he’d be marked as a traitor before being stoned. And then, just because Highlanders were slightly vindictive, they’d probably burn him.

Dammit i liked him. WTF is the author doing?

If this happens again, I will have you stripped to your skin, tied to a post and whipped bloody. You are not my Tolroi. You chose to throw that offer back in my face.

This is supposed to endear him to us? So be a fuck buddy, a drone/canon fodder, be tortured or watch your few friends be tortured .... and betray your family for his pointless ambition? Right.....too sexy ><

“Naw. I think I’m growing on her. She hasn’t tried to escape for a whole week.”

>< Do you not remember the grusome threats to make her comply you asshole? If it wasn't for a likely standing order I hope she does abandon you

Great. Guess that settled how she would be treated. Not as the person who had saved their Warlord’s life, twice she might add, but as a lowly aide who couldn’t even be trusted with a real horse.

“What are you doing?” she hissed, struggling to right herself. There was a sharp crack and then a stinging in her ass cheeks. A series of catcalls and whistles sent Shea’s face up in flames.

Are you fucking kidding me? After the fucking pony, no rest breaks plus more servitude ... seriously ? We're supposed to WANT her to end up with the asshole?

I could have left. Headed for home, but I came back. To you. That should grant me some mercy.” His eyes sharpened with interest, though he didn’t move his hand, just kept up that maddening caress.

Again.... are you fucking kidding me? Maybe her logic of picking the less lethal megalomaniac is sound .. but still with the torture threats .... he SUCKS as any type of romantic lead. Seriously leave him to the cobra.

She was in danger if she stayed and more if she didn’t. There was no doubt in her mind that the captain would hunt her down if she left. She’d seen him do it before when a man jumped ship without a word in her third month on ship. She still had nightmares about what they’d done to him.

WTF is with this author and this creepy scenario?
