This story is at the top of my list for in this series. I loved the overall story and that is where the 5 stars come from. J.R Ward has built this world and characters that I continue to fall in love with. And the world continues to have more and more added layers along the way.
Phury and Cormia are the couple that gets most of the focus, but that paled in comparison to everything else that was going on between these pages.

I always thought that Phury was a little underappreciated, so I was so glad to finally be reading his book. I am never disappointed with any BDB novel. I thought Cormia was too much of a mouse at first, I stuck with it hoping she'd come out of her shell and kick ass (figuratively). It was a great book...Phury and Cormia were perfect for each other.

Reread July 2018
If J.R. Ward wasn't so good at intertwining various stories into her books, I probably would have skipped this one as I reread the series. Phury is not my favorite brother. For me, he is very two dimensional and lacks any real character until the very, very end. For her part, Cormia feels like a throw away character...not interesting enough to weave into future or past stories, but necessary for this story. There is enough going on with other characters that this story holds my i ...more

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others in the series so far. I think a lot of that had to do with I just didn't feel connected to Phury and Cormia. I felt that Phury's problems just went on and on. Their story seemed to resolve too quickly.
