Holy werewolves everywhere! This book was AMAZING!! There are not enough words to even remotely describe how great this book was. I was immediately drawn into the story in the first sentence. This book picks up right where Kindred left off. This book sucks you in, and never lets you go. Don't let the length of the book put you off. Even though there are multiple storylines, and multiple POV's, the story flows seamlessly, and there is never a time when it feels disjointed. The Ballad of Aramei never dragged, and I never knew where the story was going. There were a couple of times I almost fell off my bed because I was so shocked at what happened. 
 However, my favorite part of this entire series, this book included, is Ms. Redmerski's characters. She has created this amazing set of characters that are so close to my heart. Adria is, and will always be, one of my favorite heroine's. She is amazingly strong (and that's not just because of her new werewolf strength haha). Adria is faced with so much throughout this series, and is tossed into a world that is so chaotic and violent, but she takes it in stride, and becomes a better person because of it. Isaac was still that smoldering, amazing Alpha that we all know and love. I loved his caring, compassionate nature with Adria, but still knew how to get down to business with the trouble with the Dark Praverian, and Trajan. Nathan...Nathan is hilarious! Every scene with him had me laughing so hard, especially when (view spoiler)[he's forced to Blood Bond to Minna (hide spoiler)]. The other thing that I both appreciated and liked, was that minor characters from the previous 2 books, shone in this novel. Every character played an integral part of the story. 
 While there are alternating POV's, it didn't detract from the story in any way. In fact, it made it all the more interesting. I loved being able to read from Isaac and Harry's perspectives. It gave the story that extra bit of amazingness, and excitement. Ms. Redmerski managed to shock me with the twists she threw at readers in this book, especially (view spoiler)[Zia being the Dark Paverian (hide spoiler)]. There are several deaths in this book, and each of them was just as sad as the next. Don't read this next part unless you want to ruin the whole book, (view spoiler)[the final battle scene between Isaac and Trajan was EPIC! This was seriously one of the best battle scenes I have ever read, and was amazed at how it played out. There are battle scenes, and then there are battle scenes, and this scene kept you on the edge of your seat until the very end. I'll admit, I let out a little cry of excitement when Isaac finally defeated Trajan, but Trajan's final words brought a tear to my eye (hide spoiler)]. 
 Words cannot express how much I have enjoyed this series. I loved the wrap-up at the end, to see how the characters were doing a year later. Honestly, I wish this wasn't the end of the series. But there is a spin-off, so I'll be pre-ordering that as soon as possible. Ms. Redmerski has given us a wonderful, new world of werewolves, and if you're looking for something new and different, pick this up. Even if you just want something to read, pick this up. It'll be worth it, trust me :)
