I liked Blaze of Memory a lot more than I thought I would. I was worried with this being about Dev (one of the Forgotten) and Katya (a Psy) and moving away from the changlings that I wouldn't like it as much, but the chaglings insinuate themselves enough in the story that you don't really feel their absence. I think it would have been a nice twist if Nalini Singh ended it differently, but it's a PNR and that means a HEA. I found just the general background information almost more interesting than the main storyline. I liked getting little subtle hints of things we might expect in the future of the series. Even though not the best or my favorite entry in the series, I'll still read along. I'll just view these couple books that veer away from the Changlings as worldbuilding extras.
