There were several times I just had to set it down. I reviewed the other two books, so you can read my opinion on them. This was all about redemption, but the happy ending is still all part of the big story which is a horrible story. Emotional read but if you stomached your way through the first two books, read this one. It gives you a very different perspective in that it shows things on a much healthier level, but yet at the base all of your ethics just want to scream that its wrong, while at the same time you cheer them on?? Like the other two, its mind blowing.... just on a different level. Bravo to the author. Seriously. This whole series took me on a very disturbing rollercoaster ride and put my mind back into my college ethics and philosophy classes. Not for the faint of heart under any circumstance.
