I absolutely loved this book from the first to the last page (even though I didn't want it to end!!)! I really liked the way the Aurenfaie lived and their complex sense of honour, and Seregil and Alec are as always lovable and witty! and I liked the way one gets to know Thero better, one other character that I liked was Nyal, I liked the way one wasn't sure of his intentions or where his loyalties were. For new readers I wouldn't recommend reading this one first since it has ties in the two previous ones and besides no one should miss the other two. Now my final wish is that the next book will come soon!!!
