3.5 
 John is one of my favourite characters in the BDB series, so it's kind of obvious that I really liked this book. There are a few things, though, that made me give it 3 stars: first, as I've already said, all the Omega/Lash part bores me to death; second, Blay with Saxton?! Noooo :( I loved the idea of him and Qhuinn and I hope their relationship will be explored in the next book; third, all those flashbacks were really distracting. And, er, inconsequential.
