I like my books like I like my men. Thick, adventurous, and slightly confusing. Okay, not really. I think that this last book was another roller coaster ride. My favorite kinds of reads are the ones I just keep finding time to read. With this one I set my font on huge and would lay it down so I could see it as I cleaned or in between putting on my make up. 
 I don't do spoilers, so there won't be any here. I thought the massive chunks of important stuff was awesome, riveting. The changes kept me on my toes and guessing. 
 I have one nit-picky thing which I even hate mention. I found too many questions in the story. I would be flipping through page after page and realize that I had read about 10 questions in a row. I may be too stupid for that much pondering. I can successfully follow two step directions at maximum. Asking me to think of ten answers quickly hurts. 
 But the good? The characters hold true. The better? The book is so damn big and luxurious. The best? (Look three questions!) Ms. Moning is allowed to take us where ever she wants. Yes, please. Always let this writer have a blank check with her imagination. As I reader I really feel she is digging deep and hard. No rules, even the question asking that bothered me? I'm glad to see some of the rules we are used to getting tossed out. It gave the books their own feel. 
 I think the whole series is one of those kinds that you mourn the minute you finish because you can only read it for the first time once. She will be a go to author for me. If it's by her I will read it.
