The dark days of book 4 continue. Not as gut wrenching overall but painful at times. 

Hadrian continues on….

This series is just “light years” ahead of any sci-fi series out there but surprisingly my least favorite of the series. This book took forever to get going but the last 1/4 was really good with a wonderful ending. I love the friendship between Hadrian and Lorian and the relationship between Hadrian and Valka. One thing that frustrates me about this series is that Christopher won’t ever go back to what his father and brother are doing. He gives little passive references about them but nothing substantial. I’ve been waiting for Hadrian to meet his father again so hopefully within the next 2 books he does.
