Having read the entire series so far, I am at somewhat of a loss as to where to place this installment. It is not the best by far, but there were some aspects that were intriguing; OK,there's one aspect and his name is Amun. The keeper of Secrets has been understandably quiet previously, but he more than makes up for it in his own story. He is protective, understanding, and willing to do whatever possible to keep the woman he loves. Haidee, his enemy turned love interest is a much more well rounded character than I expected her to be, I came to like her fairly early in the story, and the romance between them was not as angsty as it could have been, which is a definite plus. However, Amun is the main reason why this book gets a four, rather than a three, star rating. The storyline itself was relatively simple in terms of the over-arching plot, but the way it was communicated at times made it seem a lot more complicated and convoluted than it needed to be. Another diappointment for me was that the dyanamic of the warriors together was missing, and the attempts to bring them into the story seemed superfluous. Surprisingly perhaps, another of my favourite aspects of the story was the interaction between William and Gilly who light up the page whenever they appear, and make me want to know if anything is going to happen in that department.
All in all, I would recommend this book. Although there are some issues, it isn't the typical angsty romance between two people who are supposed to hate each other, and that is refreshing. The romance is undoubtedly the best bit, so if you're looking for a romance novel, then this is for you.
