Helpful Score: 3

I am a huge fan of J.R. Ward and love the Brotherhood series so I got this latest as soon as it was out in paperback. I was so looking forward to Rehv's story.

That being said this book is entirely too long and disjointed. Each chapter shifted to a new perspective from the Council to Rehv to Haven and the nurse who is Rehv's female to Xhex and John to the Lessors and Lash and to the Brotherhood with chapters on Wrath and Tohr. Just when you are into one story the focus shifts to another. Just when we are learning interesting things about the Sympath's there is a sudden shift to Lash and the Lessors. It probably would have made two if not three really in-depths books. I actually put it down several times when the story shifted and went back to it later.

I am giving it 4 stars because I did enjoy Rehv's story and I did like catching up and moving forward with the Brotherhood. And there is a great cliffhanger that set up the next book about Xhex and John. You really need to read these books in order.
