Poor Sandry does get a bit shafted in her own book as this is more a vehicle to introduce and bind our cast of characters than a novel centered on a personal journey for Sandry. As usual, Pierce is spending the first book in the quartet setting up the pieces for the rest- we've got 80% character introduction and world building, 20% THIS book's plot points, but the characters and world are charming enough to let it slide. Definitely not the strongest of the series, but a vital introduction to some of the most beloved characters I have ever spent an afternoon with.
