The third book of this series was very disappointing. The two brothers and the piano tutor seemed like good premise. Brooks created a cheep romance. Instead of having an interesting interaction between the brothers, Tychar has the persobality of a doormat, pleasing and functional but not much more and Trag comes across as petulant and immature. They fight and bicker and Kyra chooses Tychar over Trag when the brothers are very similar in looks and personality. Kyra her self is anoying, with her use of antique earth sayings, that none understands so far in the future, so far from earth. She was meant to come across as devaloping from wall flower into rose with thorns, instead she just gets anoying and childlish. The best character in the novel is the Draco queen and her consort. Though they are hardly ever mentioned. 95% of the book is devoted to flat interaction between H+H that doesnt really lead anywhere. The end takes barely 2 chapters and one of those is devoted to mindless technical describtions of equipment needed for comunicating while trying to overthrow the unsupper that killed the queen. Overall the novel was flat.

MINOR SPOILER ALERT:
It can be described in 3 sentences. H+H/H are temper-tentrum trhowing. The reformist queen gets killed by traditionalist flat-fleshed villain. The Consort, Princess, H+H/H flee, band up with illegal arms dealers/pirates and attack the new ruler, supported by the population that liked the dead queen. All through out the book is a repetetive sales pitch for McDonalds, promissing to open vegetarian branches on Draconia.

...I couldn't wait for the book to be over.
