I was glad to see some of the characters I like in the series in this book. Compared to the last book (Retribution), The Guardian went back to why I like the series. Granted there weren't any 'Dark Hunters' in this book, it was a Were/Dream book with a cameo of the Hellchaser Thorin. I do have to say I loved Seth (who's an Egyptian demigod) & Lydia.
