Man, I feel bad that somehow I missed this review when I read the book a few weeks ago. It was interesting because something happens to Jon and they trust her even though she is basically hypnotized. The guys in these books act as if they have never seen a women before, and can’t function when they are pretty and talking to them. Soldiers included losing all their sense.

Received this as a gift. Only read the first three so I could read this one and I really shouldn't have bothered. I only liked the first one. No desire to read the last one.

See my review on Chimera's Copper. This book is even worse. Virtually unreadable.
