Another fun read following Rune and Carling. I have to say, I really don't get how long hair on men is sexy, but I guess it worked for Rune. Their story followed them trying to save Carling's life after (view spoiler)[ Rune promises a favor of her choice for saving Tiago during the show down with the Dark Fae who tried to keep Niniane/Tricks from becoming queen (hide spoiler)]. Again, the characters are pretty open about their feelings but did seem to try to fight it more because of what they beleived the situation to be. 
 I'm bummed I have to wait for Oracle's Moon to come out, but the totally new characters that we meet at the end of Serpent's Kiss are intrigueing - just hope we don't lose site of those we've met so far!
