well, that wasn't too bad. Honestly, I never really warmed up to Kaylin, though she got better than she'd seemed at the beginning. I didn't feel super attached to anyone, and I think about the only relationship I wanted to see more of was between two of the minor characters who appeared to have some kind of sinister backstory together. 
 ...Mostly, what bothered me was the continuing sense that Kaylin was barely more than a child, and while she had Great Mysterious Power she also had next to no control over it or understanding of it; she spent way too much of the book being talked down to and for-your-own-good looked after by the various men around her. Simple willingness to kick and stab people doesn't make a strong female character -- self-determination is a really key factor, and Kaylin spent way too much of the book not having it. 
 Three stars because I cared enough to get all the way through it, but a low three because I don't care enough to want to know what happens next for any of these people.
