I started this book 4 months before finishing it... I LOVE Thomas Cresswell and pray every day I find a man like that, but there was something about this book that made it difficult to read. 
Probably the

love triangle. I am probably the world's greatest hater of cheating and love triangles. And there was cheating present in this book.

However, if you can move past that this book is another testament to Maniscalco's incredible world building and attention to detail.
I'm excited for book #4.
