This book... omg. I -laughed- and cried. And when I say that, I mean in the absolutely best way imaginable.
I always knew there was something about Silver and Singh did not disappoint in letting us in on all the details. The secret details because of course the Mercants have secrets! Silver is such a badass ice queen but seeing some of that ice melt while still remaining her badass self was so perfect. And Valentin... that man is now vying for position as my favourite changeling male in this series! (No one will -ever- top Hawke though. Ever.) At first, I almost thought I was going to be annoyed by him. And I thought there was no way that a bear would be anywhere near as entertaining as the other changelings we've met so far, nor was he going to be 'right' for Silver in any way, so for sure I wasn't going to like him very much. Man, was I ever wrong! Mr. I Am A Teddy Bear is just so damn lovable and funny but somehow still charming and sexy as fuck. I loved pretty much every interaction between Silver and Valentin!
I love how Singh brought in another species of changelings and while there are some similarities to the other species, they really have a world all their own. The Stonewater bears have a truly unique dynamic and the troubles they were in and got through just showed how strong they are.
I do have to admit that all the unknowns about the members of the Consortium and about HAPMA has me a little out of sorts. I don't like not having at least an inkling of what might happen next but that is nothing against Singh, that is entirely a fault of my own. There is no 'clear' bad guy yet although I know it won't stay that way for long. As the first book in the new story arc, things are set up very well for all sorts of outcomes! Bring it all on!
All in all, as can be determined by my 5 star review, I loved this book! The other story lines running in the back ground, the world building around the bears, the interactions of the H and h, the romance, and the overall plot just all makes this a winner for sure.
I noticed in other reviews that a lot of folks had their knickers in a knot about how many times the quote 'Silver Fucking Mercant' was used but I have to say that I loved it every time. I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator, Angela Dawe, really nailed the different intonations depending on the situation that quote was used in.
In other news... I really need something to go on with Arwen and Pavel and I want alllll the deets. Please!! A model hot E Mercant who dresses like perfection and a mouthy bear with an impish streak? Omg, the interactions will be hilarious and the romance will be hot!

I just really enjoyed this book...definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. Still like the world Singh created for these books, the character depth is way better than typical and keeps improving.
