A great book that was super hard to read (I had to stop part-way, for now). Some of the men in here, with the things they have done - I just feel like there is no place for them in human society. So I'm not sure what we are supposed to do with them. ...more

Belinda Rule liked Dee's review of The Sovereign (Magic of the Lost, #3): "A suitably massive finish, both in terms of action and emotion. I particularly enjoyed the well-managed ways in which things don't go quite the easy or expected way, keeping that gritty complexity that Clark does so well. Absolutely pays off all the " Read more of this review »
