If you've read the other 2 books in this trilogy, and you have come to know and love Talia, you won't be able to put this one down. I remember saying to myself, "Ok, I'll stop at the end of this page...oh wait, no, the end of the chapter. Oh, no a clifhanger...I wonder what happens...ok, at the end of THIS chapter..." and so on! It will make you cry even if you went through Titanic dry-eyed! Warning! It's a page-turner, so only read when you have plenty of time!!
