    <body><![CDATA[This one really made HH human. It takes him off of the ship, and we get to see how much he really craves human companionship. And the end rather gives you everything you want for nearly everyone. I'm glad there are three more books, but if the series had ended here, I'd almost be happy.]]></body>
