Maybe I'd give this one slightly more than 4 stars. It was slow going and I'm not a big fan of moving back and forth in a timeline. Once we finally got past that I felt the book vastly improved. One of my biggest irritations in book 2 was the character development of Leesha. In Daylight War she improves a bit for me but still there were moment I found myself rolling my eyes and thinking 'Enough already.' As it progressed though I felt better about her. 
 Unfortunately, that led to yet another character becoming overly bothersome in the form of Renna. If you ever had that feeling reading a character was making you want to slide your hand in the book and slap them in the back of the head then you know what I mean. I understand her past and all that she has been through but in this chapter I felt the author was trying a bit too hard with this character. She too, began to improve a bit toward the end but not nearly enough. 
 There are quite a few sappy moments in this one but I have no issues with them. To me, this part of character development. In a lot of things love spurs us to feats or downfalls that we never see coming. It is part of who a person is a lot of the time. Course that means some sex scenes so if that isn't your cup of tea then you'll have issues again. Granted that isn't anything new in this series though I believe there was more in this one than previously. Again, I have no issue with such so it comes down to personal taste. 
 All in all it was a good book with a great ending. It had some slow points and other areas where the author was overly descriptive of something over and over. While I had issues with a character here and there some others blossomed like Rojer and his wives or the relationship of Jardir and his wife. It has me enough where I am anxious for the 4th part of this saga but hopefully the wait will not be as lengthy.
