Well, things seem to be changing around here...the reveals on the Collars and the swords from both Lorcan and Oison don't really sound all that good but at the same time, I wonder how that's going to play out.

Overall, I really liked Misty. Back when she was first introduced, her character was intriguing because it seemed like she was truly curious about Graham and it wasn't just because he was a shifter. Even though things didn't go exactly as she'd probably hoped, the fact that she called Graham at the beginning was actually pretty smart. I did like the way she did her best to help throughout the book, even if she didn't necessarily understand everything. I also liked the way she continually called Graham on some of his crap, especially with as snarky as she'd get about it. And I liked how she handled things at the end. I did get a little frustrated with her comment about being done after they initially escaped the desert. Understanding that Graham realized something wasn't right, he still didn't have any right to blame her completely, since she wouldn't have had any way of knowing it was a Fae problem. But I still kind of felt like she jumped ahead instead of actually talking to him (granted, that thing had me more frustrated with Graham than Misty but she still was a little frustrating).

Really kind of lowkey loved Graham. In the previous books, even though he was acting like a giant pain in the ass, there was also something slightly deeper. I did like getting to kind of see the other side of him and get into her true fears. I loved the way he was with the twins and with Dougal. Even though they drove him crazy, he still cared for them and looked out for them. Loved the way he'd realized how Dougal was and was always doing what he could to nudge him in the direction that he needed. Like I mentioned, I did get frustrated with him at the beginning when he realized what had happened in the desert. Granted, it was probably scary to be under a Fae spell and also not really knowing what said spell was going to do, but again, Misty would have had no way of knowing it was a Fae issue so the fact that he told her she'd fucked him over without explaining anything annoyed me. Not saying he couldn't have gotten mad but that whole situation could have been handled a little better. I did laugh when he tried to stay away because that didn't work out all that well and hopefully he fixes her door sometime soon.

The reveal about the twins has me wondering if there's going to be more Guards popping up in the future. And Ben is definitely an interesting enigma.
