Damn, but I loved this book! 
 I honestly started reading this book with the idea that this was the end of the series for me. I wanted to know about John Matthew and Xhex, and then I figured I'd be done. Not so! This book is totally full of the crack (or crackh, or whatever) that makes the first four books of the series so unforgettable and rereadable. So, I will be back for more. (Ward is really good at sequel baiting! Must. Have. More.)
