I doubt I can review this any better than the rest of you have. Guess I'll try anyway. 
 I liked the story. I love Rachel/the narrator. Her ups and downs are always a great read. 
 The whole capturing HAPA/Eloy thing took forever but I think that was the point (to point out how good they were compared to the local officials). 
 The thing that bugged me is the romance angle. I love romance but the storyline with Trent is progressing at a snail's pace. At this rate it's going to be another ten books before anything happens there. I can understand why it's taking so long but it's such a tease. *sigh* My anticipation for the next book is far lower than the anticipation I had for this book for this simple reason. 
 I really thought I'd get what I wanted Re: Trent only to start in on this book and find we've jumped time (as usual) and they're all pretending nothing happened. Now it seems a pattern. I'm not looking forward to plowing through another 400+ pages only to get a tiny scrap thrown my way. That said, I will read it, I will whine, and I'll probably like it.
