Like all of Rachel Caine's other books, I truly enjoyed reading this story. I love the world of the Wardens, so I was thrilled when I found out about this series. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while waiting to be read, but I was a bit apprehensive "just in case" it didn't live up to my (high) expectations. I shouldn't have worried. The characters were wonderfully written, and I am loving the way things are progressing between two of the main characters. I am glad that the story barely made mention of Joanne or David, yet at the same time was still very clearly the same world and same setting. Loved it!
