I got a copy of Legacy from the Read2Review program on Goodreads, so once again thanks to the author and mods for making this possible.  Legacy is book three in the Thaumatology series and had I realized it was the third book in a series I probably wouldn't have signed up to review it as I haven't read the first two.  My bad not the author's, there were a lot of references to things that happened in the previous books that I didn't get, not having read them.  So before I can recommend this one I would actually recommend reading the first two.  To be honest they sounded far more interesting than Legacy was.I'm not going to rehash the plot because the blurb is long enough and does that just fine.  The book really was just ...meh.  It had a lot of potential but it ended up being kinda boring.  You have a witch/wizard/ practitioner or whatever Ceri is supposed to be in a realtionship with a half-demon succubus and a werewolf.  You have lots of references to sex but very little in the way of actual sex.  You have the characters waking up exhausted but yeah not much in they way of a description as to how they got that way.  So it wasn't much of an erotic novel or romance either for that matter.The first half of the book read like "a day in the life of..." and I was about half way through the book before the bad guys showed up.  The bad guys weren't even that threatening really, I never really got the feeling that anyone was ever in any actual danger, Lily sort of was but it really didn't feel life or death.  The big climax wasn't much of a showdown it was more two parties agreeing not to annoy each other, again no real danger.I liked the werewolf characters and I read tons of books about werewolves but I never really understood what they transformed into, whether it was wolves or some sort of movie half man half wolf creature, but I think that might have been explained in previous books that I unfortunately didn't read.  I liked the characters well enough, but again I missed the backstory that was told in the previous books and other than being perpetually horny they were likable enough.The magical physics kinda got on my nerves and I mostly skimmed over those parts, there weren't many so really no biggie.  All in all it was an easy read, but for me it really lacked action.
