This is the fourth and final book in Hoyt's Legend of the Four Soldiers series. To Beguile a Beast was my favorite, but I enjoyed this one as well. I found Reynaud to be a little too intense, but I guess that is to be expected from a person suffering from PTSD. His concern about Beatrice was touching. It took me a while to get into their story, but I very much enjoyed it by the end.

My favorite thing about this series was the fairy tales that she included through the book. I wonder if these are based on real tales or if she created them to supplement the story. Either way they were very entertaining and I would almost like to have them in a book all on their own.
