The characters are wonderfully thought out, with nuances and developments that have you rooting for them. I loved the strength of both of these two, and my only frustration was Cord fell into the frustrating "unstoppable, unkillable" casting that often happens to MMCs.
Although I do sometimes find the sentence structure a little awkward in Ellen O'Connell's books, I didn't notice it as much here as I did in "Without Words".
