Nothing much happens until the end of the book, Emily spends a lot of time getting pushed around by almost everyone else, and there’s this looming sense that things could go terribly wrong, but they don’t really, at least not until the very end. So lots of potential drama, but not many real fireworks set off.
Too many of the books in this series center on Emily’s ignorance and the poor decisions she makes out of it. Everyone who is older and/or has authority over her feels quite happy to point out her flaws and tell her “you’re arrogant and ignorant and you’re going to get people hurt” and yet none of these people, even those who do care about Emily, have ever taken the time to talk to her about her world or to discover what sorts of things she might not know/have trouble understanding/not believe.
Lady Barb is the worst offender. She knows that Emily never had anyone she could rely on, no mother or father worthy of the name, and Lady Barb knows why Emily is ignorant…and yet Lady Barb is constantly saying scathing things about Emily’s decisions, threatening to punish her for them and now is complaining that Emily acts ‘like a child in a woman’s body.’ Haven’t Lady Barb and the Grandmaster figured out yet that Emily needs some remedial education and training in the history, customs and mores of her new society? Many books ago, the Grandmaster told Emily that Lady Barb would talk to Emily, find out what she was missing or ignorant of, and fill in the blanks. Obviously Lady Barb didn’t do it, or didn’t do it enough, and Emily is still paying the price. Worse, Emily is being encouraged to blame herself for all her deficiencies, and she ricochets between resentment of other people’s authority, grasping at straws during crises, and then blaming herself for making poor choices, all without any real sense of what else she could have done instead or getting any useful feedback from those people who claim to care for her. None of Emily’s reactions will lead her to develop the self-confidence and ability to trust herself and others that Emily desperately needs in order to fulfill herself, discipline her powers and ameliorate the consequences of her actions.
Lady Barb spent months helping Emily practice pocket dimension and warding spells, because she knows Emily needs to engage her magic responsibly, yet Barb seems to feel that Emily should just know how to be a baroness and how to carry out her legal, political and social obligations–Lady Barb acts like Emily just should be able to identify all the things that she doesn’t know and no one else has thought to tell her, and feels it’s Emily’s fault if she doesn’t know to ask even. It’s unreasonable of Lady Barb to have done nothing to help/force Emily to come to grips with her responsibilities as a baroness. If the issue were her magic, Lady Barb wouldn’t hesitate to make Emily practice and to punish her if she didn’t, yet when the problem is her political/social power, Lady Barb feels entitled to stand back, watch her fail and scold her for it.
No, Emily has not been adult in the way she approaches her barony, but then again, those who know how much help adjusting and learning Emily needs, and why, have not bothered to provide it for her, they have not identified her blind spots for themselves, nor have they made her take the opportunity to address them. Yes, she bears some blame here, but so do they and they seem happy to have her take the whole burden on herself.
It’s time for Nuttall to address this imbalance and do something about it. If Emily keeps to her pattern of allowing herself to make desperate decisions in the moment, something will eventually go so wrong that she won’t be able to fix or ignore it. At that point, Lady Barb, the Grandmaster and Sergeant Miles all can stand around heaping blame on Emily’s shoulders all they like, but their actions won’t help their world either.

Love’s Labor’s Won audiobook Series Schooled in Magic
Let me state that I’m a fan of Christopher Nuttall, I have dozens of his books, many of which I have read & re-read time & time again. I like his
characters & the type of stories / story lines he writes. BUT (everyone knew that was coming didn’t they) I do feel he’s writing too many, too fast.
He has several continuing storylines going at the moment & most of the recent ones are showing signs of staleness & lack of development. This one is a particular example of that trend. I, like most readers of this genre, are aware of the writers that just go on & on & on into book 12-13-14-15 etc of the same story, the ones that never end & become just plain boring (the marvellous Bujold being one of few exceptions) & I worry that Chris may be drifting into this trap. I still like most of his books, but I find that I’ve started jumping some of them. i.e book 6 doesn’t sound much “cop” so I go straight to book 7 etc. Christopher, please don’t stop writing, your often a rock in a sea of mediocrity, but even rocks can get worn down.

Audio Love’s Labor’s Won narrated by Tavia Gilbert
Another good book in this series though this one left me feeling it was just a filler. I keep expecting the author to strengthen Emily’s character given she is 19 and had to struggle growing up. She acts more like a 13 year old which may be his intention but just stops me thinking of her as a real heroine in the story (less wimpy please).
I like the way the world building is developing and how Emily’s ideas are flowing into this world and changing it. Not sure any sane person moving to a new world would ever want to expose that world to an American Gun Culture which seems to be happening in these books. She seems bent and determined to introduce the worst aspects of Earth’s Culture.
Lots of the secondary characters in these books seem to be more interesting than Emily herself so the reader gets a real balance of good, bad and just plain evil characters to speculate about. The overall good vs bad and the greys in between keep the reader guessing as to who is going to turn out one way of the other and this adds depth to the books.
You need to read this one to keep up with the overall underlying story, just don’t expect quite the level of intensity or action of the earlier books. Hopefully there won’t be a wedding book for Alyssa along similar lines to this one and that Christopher brings Emily’s character more into line with her age and we see some real action in the next book.

Christopher G. Nuttall has done the impossible , he is not telling a story as story’s have a beginning middle and end, he is telling a life, a reality , we all strive for a different world but only once or twice in my lifetime have I came across an author as talented as Nuttall tht is not just telling a story but a life story , where there is no middle or end just a reality and a whole, new world that could go on forever , because his story is another reality , another beautiful world, to be able to do this is a talent that few people truly have.
