Poo. I was right to think that I should have left this series alone. At least until it's finished. This book was too damn short! I need more! I NEED MUCH MORE. 
 If I had any unease that this book wouldn't live up to the last, that cleared up in a matter of pages. 
 I was glad that a lot of this book was Penryn by herself because she's a strong character and it was so gratifying to watch her not pine and mope and to know that the book was just as interesting when it was just her alone. 
 On the flip side, the opposite can be said as well! The chemistry between Penryn and Raffe was just brilliant. I was honestly creasing with laughter at some of their conversations when they were together. Also, the emotional moments were so believable. dayum them two should bang 
 I'm so dismayed that I have to wait at least a year to get my next fix, but the good news is that that means I will definitely read the first two books again! 
 This book gave the other characters a chance to shine as well, like little Paige(view spoiler)[please don't like Beliel. (hide spoiler)] who was just the bravest little thing ever. The mum (who as far as I know doesn't have a name) whose disorder makes her just about the most interesting character in the book and Dee and Dum who just keep cropping up in the darnedest of places.
