I have mixed feelings about this book. Don't get me wrong. I still love this series. Still if a few things don't change I'll probably stop reading it.

This book has less no action and only mystery. I guess after she killed the Queen's son, Cel, suddenly they appear to be no threat to the Unseelie Court, or perhaps that's just for this book because that's surly not what were lead to believe.

I still love all the characters. I love the fact that Kitto is still in the picture and that he's the one who's so excited about the babies that he's cleared out a room and has started getting it ready as a baby room. I also love how "The Lord of Shadow", one of the fathers is active in her life even thou he's has to travel back and fourth. He's gotten close to Meredith and has started showing her his true self with small things like his smirk when he's happy and he's feeling more secure with himself now that he knows that Meredith is not repulsed by his other bits.

I still love her beloved Frost and Darkness and I'm ecstatic that their more comfortable sharing her together now that he's come back. He's more willing to share. Their relationship's gave become stronger within the father's.

The only thing I'm having a problem with is this: I was under the impression that after Princess Meredith became pregnant she'd merry the father of her child. Now that her twins have multiple father's why has she not married them. If she cannot merry them because there are 6 then why is she not monogamous with the six. Why is she still sleeping with new people. In this book three new characters sleep with her and I'm starting to get a little tired of it. I understood it when she was trying to become pregnant and the rules/laws stipulated that she had to sleep with the Queen's guards and as many of them as possible. Still the fact remains that now Meredith has become pregnant and she's still sleeping with others.

I understand the Polyamory relationship but what I don't understand is the fact that it's not a closed Polyamory relationship. I would have figured with so many Alpha males that they'd be against her sleeping with other's outside of the fathers of her children. Maybe that's just my opinion....

Other than that I loved the story line. It turns out that all the human's she saved can now contact her when their in trouble and some can even heal with the laying of their hands. It's amazing that she now has the gift to give humans their own power......

I know that if you like Laurell K. Hamilton books, you'll enjoy this series.
