Sam hasn't been one of my favorite Walshes throughout my binge read of the series, especially since I'm a Shannon-stan 100%. That said, I did enjoy his and Tiel's romance, especially in the beginning, and that was more because of Tiel than because of Sam.

But, as the story wore on I just wanted these two to TALK and say what they were feeling. The drama between them was the least convincing or fulfilling to me as a reader. Also, I didn't really like how Tiel called Sam a whore. Felt yucky.

But, this series as I come to the end of available books is just entirely compelling, written so beautifully, and just captivates my ears.
