So... I was a little disappointed with this book. I was more interested in Dorian's relationship with Keenan (Ashaya's son) than I was about his relationship with Ashaya. I thought I was going to scream if one more secret was dropped. Both main characters just seemed so cold. 
 However, I was still reading for the rest of the story, the parts connected with the overall series arc. I found myself skimming scenes between the two main characters, just to see what would happen next. So, overall, it was ok, but probably one I would skip if I re-read the series.
