Ok talk about trying to throw everything and the kitchen sink into this book. I liked and would recommend this first "chapter" of the books but holy moly there was a lot going on in this book. I think the whole realms thing could have been spaced out into several book leading up to this one. And I wanted to know more about the Hawks and their realm. It was just a cacophony of trying to tie up the plots of 6 books plus all the stuff started in this one. This book could have been better. The series as a whole was good entertainment
