OMG....What can I say?? I couldn't put it down, from start to finish it was a runaway with action and the unexpected around every corner!! I was shocked several times to the point of open mouth awe and muttering "no way" to myself. This book had a plot and purpose that was aside from sex=power the LKH is so fond of. I like a book that has characters that you can grow to like and miss when you are away from, like friends of a sort. This book is one that will make you feel that way about Merry and her Gaurds. It wasn't the never ending parade of new men and women that all want a chance at Merry to bring them back to their power. It was mostly just the core group of guys that she started with and a really nice love story (for once). O.k...so much to my dismay I must admit that I am somewhat of a sucker for a love story and you don't usually get it with LKH but, I was nearly in tears at a couple points just a page or line or two that conveyed a very nice sentiment. I have grown to really like several of the gaurds and was concered about how the series would progress if/when Merry got pregnant and in true LKH/Meredith fashion the impossible has been made possible and I have to say this time it made me a very happy reader. Instead of the eye rolling that it usually incurs after a certain point. I gave this book a very hard earned 4.5 stars not a rating I wouldn't give lightly. I wish the next book ended the series, but like Anita I'm afraid LKH will run it into the ground and make me bitter all over again. (sorry I have to get my digs in)
