I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, since it not only switches the series to focus on Heath and Atira, but it also goes from previous books being in 1st person, to this one being in 3rd person, multiple POVs. But I must say that I really enjoyed it, though I admit I enjoyed it not because of the romance between Heath and Atira, which I thought was fine but not super compelling, but because of the world building, intrigue and other stories going on, include that of Keir and Lara. In reality, I felt like the romance between Heath and Atira was more of a secondary (and perhaps not even that) storyline, though we certainly got more than a few sex scenes between them.

One thing that I particularly enjoyed and appreciated about this book is that it continues the story of the previous books, picking up where they left off, and furthers both our knowledge of the world, but also furthers the overarching story and plot. I know of many series out there that give an installment in the series that doesn't do either of these things.

The other thing I appreciated about this book is that while the overarching story and plot clearly aren't finished, the reader isn't left feeling as if there was a cliffhanger at the end meant to manipulate them into coming back for the 5th book. Instead, the book draws to a natural conclusion, leaving questions about what comes next, but a sense of satisfaction from what you've read so far. It takes a skilled and confident author not to feel as if she has to go for an emotional manipulation to trap readers into further stories. Kudos to the author for this.

I believe fans of this series will really enjoy this book, and will love seeing Keir and Lara again, and continuing on their journey to unite their people and bring change to their ways.
