My opinion is shared with that story, yet I was looking forward. I found that compared to other pairs of previous volumes, little is seen Blay and Vhif together ... and the little time that passes both is quite disappointing. I found it lacking in émotion.Les sensual scenes were well described but I found that it also lacked a little something. The second negative is that we follow more characters in each tomes. Just in this book, the stories of Trez and his brother are followed (the shadows), of Assauht and Sola (a short story), the lessers of Xcor and his band of bastards ... which, I find, made too many stories at once. The positive point is the discussion between Layla and Xcor. There, we had great emotions. Eager to see how their story will evolve.
