Before reading thoughts:
(view spoiler)[SO
EXCITED
oh my god

ETA: AH I'M GETTING THIS ON KINDLE SOON AND I CANNOT SEEM TO STOP TALKING ABOUT IT IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM VERY EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN SEREGIL AND ALEC
ALSO THERE ARE LITERALLY NO ONE STAR REVIEWS OF THIS BOOK YET WHICH MAKES ME VERY PLEASED AND EVERY EXPECTANT
(hope you live up to it. i really do.) (hide spoiler)]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

It was sooo nice to return to some of my favorite characters of the entire genre. Ach. I just really love Seregil, Alec, Micum, and Beka!

My only complaint is that the entire last half of the book was so rushed. It's like, we discover that the ravens exist AND THEN we chase them around for a few chapters AND THEN we find out who they really are AND THEN we find out why people are dying AND THEN we bring everyone back.

Meanwhile on the front line we find the traitor they fight more battles and then everyone's wounded and dead but Skala won the fight.

?!?!?!

Madam Flewelling, with all respect intended towards your property, you should probably have taken a chunk of fluff that you stuffed into the first half and moved it to the second. We don't need step-by-step descriptions of the parties that Alec and Seregil attend when they arrive back in Rhiminee. However, a bit more description would've been nice in the last couple chapters.

Woo.

Teresa Hahaha I love your excitement! I felt the same way before and it totally lived up to my expectations.

I totally get your emotional involvement with them! Who could not love hottie Seregil and sweetie Alec?
