I really enjoyed this book. I love Allie, though her unthinking anger sometimes annoys me, it just makes her seem like a real person. I wish there could have been more Zayvion, but he was there when it counted and it was great to see more of Shame - I hope he's featured more in the coming books. Allie has really grown since the series started and is becoming a person to be respected in the magic community. Can't wait for number 6!
