Personally I loved this book! Not that the story between Many & Payne is transcendent, but all the annexes attached to it stories have captivated me. Vishous is extremely present in this volume (to my delight), where he faces once more the demons of his past and the emotional torture that results. I found it upsetting to more than one, if her master of his emotions, using a control on himself almost morbid self-protection. Some chapters are dedicated to the dark male Qhuinn where increasingly, accepting or what he is or his feelings toward Blay, as it is unworthy of him. New characters enter the scene, soldiers from a bygone past and yet still present in the collective memory. Size revelation will come towards the end of the book ... Yes, I repeat: this volume MUCH liked.
