It's getting kind of repetitive to tag all of these books with "pure awesomeness," but... I mean... HALT. <3 How could that not be pure awesomeness???? Can I like... meet him? Or become his apprentice? My poor baby. Getting himself kicked out of the country and Rangers just so he can go rescue will. <3 <3 <3 (Not a spoiler, since it's in the blurb...) 
 And then Evanlyn and Will! Will's so sweet and courageous, and Evanlyn is epic. AND HORACE. Okay, so Horace is pretty much my second favorite character (after Halt, of course!). He's the best type of friend to have. And to think he was a bully at the beginning of book 1!!!! 
 Epic moment: (view spoiler)[Halt's battle against Deparnieux. OH MY GRAVY. It's probably a good thing I was reading this in my room. It was soooo much fun. :D (hide spoiler)] 
 However, in spite of the awesomeness that is these characters and the plot, there were a few problems that forced me to knock a star. :( The first book had four cuss words, the second two, and then this one... had around 30. O.O Details (words not spelled out): (view spoiler)[ 15 uses of d***, 5 uses of h***, 6 misuses of God, sometimes with a little g, and 4 uses of devil in place of h*** or d*** (hide spoiler)]. There was also a few mentions of girls wearing "indecent" skirts (which would actually be long by our standards), and one person says that they "look better that way". Some alcohol involved. 
 But the main issue with this story was drug abuse. It was actually handled very well and was portrayed in a negative light, but it's still something you should be aware of before reading this. 
 Overall, I really enjoyed this story, and I'm looking forward to book four!
