I read a spoiler before. Still, it did not prepare me for the disappointment of the "strange and catastrophic" moment only to be turned into a cliffhanger. And Elloren is progressing at a reasonable pace for character development. Sadly, I am less interested in what happens to Vogel (as in how) and more interested how her heart will decide between the two male leads. Because if the author does something to one of them, she has surely left room for the other to do the same. The first book established possible relationships, the second built up one, and now the third has invested in the other.




This is a spoiler down here:
(P.S. I one-hundred percent think Jarod will want to be with Aislinn regardless. I see him accepting her for leaving everything behind and wanting to turn Lupine to retrieve her dignity back.)

The every other page of crying is still very irritating!
But liked the book enough to add the next book on my reading list.

Elloren better grow a pair in the next one!
