I hated Rydstrom...because I adored Cadeon. Now I love Rydstrom too. I resented his treatment of his brother, blaming him and making him feel guilty for centuries. But this...was by far the sexiest book I've ever read. A 7 foot tall, kingly demon in bondage? Yup. Awesome. Didn't like Sabine quite as much. She's so selfish. But she's funny, and her powers are pretty awesome. Lucky girl, perhaps I resent her a little. Wish I could rake my fingernails along Rydstrom's back...
