meh, this wasn't particularly my favourite I will admit. I cried in this one too, because someone who I thought would stay till the end died... not to mention Amelie's father, Bishop is in town! UGH. And when there's Bishop, there's François and Ysandre. Who I absolutely hate with a passion.. no really I do. yuck. ANYWAYS, Bishop hosts this feast and then thats when the action comes. tsk tsk tsp Rachel Caine, at this scene you made me cry! This scene where the feast happens is by far the best point of the book, obviously. But where there were sad points, there were good and funny points as well! Caine, you crack me up! literlly! I found myself laughing hysterically at the babble between Myrnin and Claire. Im telling you, I adore those two! Again, this wasnt the best book but the feast and what happens is the main highlight. So if your unsure to read this, I say read it so you can go onto the next book. The books in this series can't be read in any way on their own, you need to read the books in order to really love this series.
