Loved this!  Relationships grow more fraught and complicated, the plot gets darker and the stakes are going up and up.  

I like that Anne Bishop allowed bad things happen to main and secondary characters.  I don't need them to always be perfect or have everything go their way.  Compromise can be so much more interesting.

I really love Meg and Simons' relationship.  It's slow burn but in a way that reveals so much about their characters that I'm (mostly) content to wait for them to figure out how much they love each other.
