Yay! By far my favorite of the series to date, and the first time I can say I truly hope this series continues. I LOVE the characters in this book - all of them - and enjoyed Thane and Elin's story - and even though I had a few issues with some elements, I'm very pleased to say that I didn't feel proselytized to death like I did in the previous book. 
 This is the first time in the series I felt things starting to click in that old and much adored Showalter way, and this is my favorite of Showalter since...wow...well, lets just say it's been many years since I read a Showalter story I enjoyed as much as I did this one. 
 Full review pending.
