Was NOT expecting the death that just occurred. Other than, such a good read even though Asher is getting on my nerves with his whine baby attitude. Dude, grow a set and shut up! Morg is such a disgusting villain I can't wait for Asher to kick his ass. I'm expecting Gar to have to sacrifice himself since Asher was too stupid to listen to Gar when he had a plan earlier on.

Damn, this book is good. I usually find myself drawn to villains, but Morg is such a sadistic SOB with not one redeeming quality that I can't wait for Asher and Gar to take him down. It's just a shame that this is the last book in the series. A couple of other books take place in the same world but at different time periods. I hate that this isn't a big Wheel of Time like series taking place over 90 books.

Things are getting really good now. I feel like I'm in for a soap opera moment, though. The lawful character is about to find out the main character is committing a sin worthy of death, but I expect by the time they arrive to get their "proof" all evidence of the sin will be removed. Still, who knew Willer would amount to such an important character?

Dathne's arrogance is starting to piss me off. I'm furious at her for the way she treated Matt. She slaps him, he stops her from slapping him a second time, and then Asher has the nerve to fire him for "laying hands on his woman." Matt is right; the way Dathne is postponing telling Asher the truth is going to lead to some very big hurt feelings.

While the politicking is interesting, when is the "prophecy" that Dathne foresaw going to happen? While there's still over 500 pages left, it feels like there's not enough time left before this "series" ends.
