I really liked this book. I read as long as I could up until bedtime a few nights in a row, and then kept waking up in the middle of the night to think about the book. I wonder how it would be to reread it, if it still packs a punch now that I know what happens.

I wondered if I would tire of the imprisonment scenario, since I've read a couple other books lately with a similar set up, but it stayed interesting enough. Then the next part was delightful, a lovely respite and then back to exciting, which this series does so well. I liked the pacing of this book in particular. (The second book had me stressing!)

Now I'm about to start the final book, and I will say that throughout this book, I started worrying: If this series ends with Cal on the throne with E as his wife, and Maven restored and back together with Mare... Then by my colors!
