This book was a bit of a surprise for me. It's really hard to take a character that was loathed in previous books and turn them around. I felt Kristen Ashley did a great job of changing Franka from a detestable character to one you actually felt bad for. Her past did explain to me why she was they way she was and I was ok with the transition. I actually thought this book was very funny and entertaining. I did have an issue in the very beginning when Tor slept with a woman in their inner circle, before him and Franka got together, but I just didn't feel it was necessary to the story. I'm sad to see this series is over. I would have loved to have had the other Circe and Dax story.
