No this time mission of the Guard, so the action is less present than in other volumes. But as far as La Flèche is involved. Everything is in the conquest of Gregor, how Cate manages to make him aware of his feelings.
I loved Cate! His personal history, his strength, his soul warrior, his unwavering faith in Gregor ... everything in a heroine as I like! I laughed a lot when she puts on the buttocks of some Guard members ^^
Here one discovers Gregor in a new light. Far from being just a pretty face, it hides deep wounds that make the more complex it seems. I liked that the Cate to make him understand, it shows that he is much more than the heartthrob that he wants to believe it is.
I liked the passion that burns them from their reunion when Gregor actually sees Cate, not the girl he has collected. At the same time, some passages are very touching and poignant as the prologue or when Gregor rejects Cate few days of their marriage, or Cate discovered in the tavern with a woman
I let myself be charmed by their relationship, their complicity and understanding of the other, and together with all the faith and confidence they should have in them.
So there are fewer pure action in this volume, but as far twists are present, and the plot so involved that I could not let go of this volume before the last page.
