I actually didn't finish this book because I got so fucking tired of the exposition. I've stuck with this series for years, but I am beyond fed up of being told everything that has happened so far a chapter after it happened. I know what happened! I fucking read it! I was there! Never again. I'm done with this series.

Great continuation of this series. Wynn, Shade, Chane and Osha, portion of the story really popped.

This was so much buildup for the coming end of the series for Magiere and Leesil while having an adventure for Wynn. I cannot wait to see what the next book holds. This series is so intense.

This my favorite one, yet! Finally, we get some answers and some action. My only issue really, is that in the billion of people in the world...the last orb just happened to be where it was. What a coincidence. -_-
But ignoring that, I loved the tension between Chane and Osha, I think Wynn should make a good/bad list for the both of them, lol, it was cute how they tried to one up each other. And I literally CRIED on a scene towards the end, why would you do this to me!?
People complained about Magiere and Leesil not having enough action, but I thought it was refreshing to have them back again. Not a lot can happen on ships, but there were still a couple of scenes that were plenty of awesome! I don't want to spoil it, but I enjoyed this one more than I have the others in a long time, and I can't wait to see what comes next, especially after that exciting epilogue!

Of all the Noble Dead books, I think this is the book I remember the absolute least. Not even the blurb could conjure up much of an image. But that's okay. It means I can't write a proper review for this book, but it does remind me how it's imperative that I reread the rest of this series ASAP. I do think this was one of the weaker books, if my rating speaks any kind of volume from five years ago. I was always in the habit of giving these books five stars, so when it came in at a four, there must have been something about it that didn't appeal AS much.
Still, I remember Wayfarer, and I thought her plotline was intriguing. And I remember Osha, and man was I hoping the Chane shit would be over. I didn't want to see a love triangle come into this book, and I suppose I wasn't surprised, given Wynn's character. Interesting choice though, given that Magiere and Leesil are our main characters and we didn't really have any of that stuff going on for them (mercifully). Anyway, the authors have the dual storylines going on in this one, and that's something I wish they'd employed in earlier books. It worked, but I'm sure I preferred Leesil and Magiere's storyline over Wynn's because...it's Leesil and Magiere. But I can't remember much of either, and that leads me to think that it wasn't quite as action packed as I would have liked, and that's probably the reason for the four stars.
But man...Osha over Chane any day. I can't believe Chane lasted this long. I seriously thought he would've disappeared sooner, when he was first introduced to the series. But I was so wrong. So wrong...
