Ok, rereading this I have absolutely no idea why I previously gave this book 4 starts, it only gets 5 because I can't give it more. So many hours I have lost to this book because I just got completely sucked in, and didn't even want to try and escape. I know in my review of The Assassin's Blade I had lost all interest in the romantic side of the series because I love Sam now, but I'm obviously very fickle because I was just as sucked into Celorian as the first time I read the book
