I am at a loss right now. I've finished the book and just went: "So... what do I do now?!" 
 This is my first ever official review on this site, but here goes. 
 I really would love to hate Nalini Singh right now, mostly because she has totally ruined me for any books of this genre. Believe me, I have tried and tried finding books with literature as good as this. The words, scenes and actions just flow from one to the other seamlessly. 
 Although I am a total Changeling fanatic from all those in her world; with Hawke and Sienna being my favourite pair (always looking for even the tiniest scene of them), I have to say that Nalini really does make you fall for the characters you read about. 
 I fell in love with the Arrows and especially the Arrow children. Really loved these scenes; so beautiful and heartbreaking. 
 When I read a book sometimes I just want to know how it's going to end and don't really care what I am going to miss, with all of Nalini's Psy-Changeling novels however, I don't dare miss a sentence. 
 In Shards of Hope, I must say that the story-telling was brilliantly laid out, each chapter and the bringing in of past and future characters was just beautifully blended in that it didn't feel as if the story jumped from one thing to another. Loved, loved, loved that we get to see all our previous characters, always great to know what's happening in their lives. But at the same time I was really happy that the story was focused on the central characters. 
 What I didn't like... (view spoiler)[is that it still leaves us questioning the identity of the members of the Consortium, especially the "Architect"... love the name though (hide spoiler)] Although I do have my suspicions. Hmm. 
 Another thing? We have to wait SUCH A LONG TIME for the next release. WHY????!!!! 
 Oh well, no choice on that front. 
 Aside from that, I want more, more, more of the series and soon. I feel like this was such a fitting end to the Arc. I can't wait to see who Nalini is going to write about next, but I am really hoping for a Changeling novel next, but honestly I will devour the next book regardless. 
 Overall, love all your characters, and totally adore the cubs and little Arrows, want to see more of them. The Psy-Changeling series is one that will always come out on top for me. Love the world Nalini has created, one that you wish were real. I get lost in her novels, becoming part of them every time I read her stories. 
 Please continue to provide us more of these amazing stories Nalini. Always looking for more of this series. 
 Your fan always.
