Okay, this book turned out to be a lot better than I had anticipated. I was going to give this a 3 if I had stopped the book halfway, but thank goodness I didn't. Kestral and Arin's relationship got even more complex (lol and even from the beginning it was crazy with the whole "we first met when I bought you"), and I liked how clever everything was. Plus, Kestral is not a strong fighter, which I actually appreciate!
