Shards of Hope by Nalini Singh

I'm glad I finally picked this up to finish up this first "season" of the series. It's been an interesting ride over the last couple of years, and the political macro plot here exemplifies why I invested so much time in this series - the world building and the greater overall plot is just so good.
The romance was fine here, nothing super interesting beyond the fact that Zaira struggles with believing she's "evil" and has intense rage blackouts...and Aden is incredibly boring. I did like that this started out with them being kidnapped and meeting up with a new (to the story) pack that they form a bond with. Aden taking Alpha lessons from them was a nice way of showing how he wants to move the Arrows forward.
I wonder if this is a fact of having left so much time between this and the last book, but I really do not understand how the Arrows are supposedly such a huuuge part of the political landscape now and for the stability of the Psy world. Very weird, especially because they weren't really a thing until around book 8? 10?
Anyway, this has been a nice enjoyable long series with some great world building and low and high romances. Singh is just enjoyable to read. I'm still debating whether to continue on, but I can't deny that I've had a good time.
