5.0

These books are not good for my sleep. I try to wind down at the end of the night with a short read, but these fast-paced adventures just suck you in. Before you know it, an hour or two has passed. Each episode raises the stakes, which almost seems impossible with each following adventure.
This one is a bit calmer, than some of the other installments, but it still has rising tension. Hubric is injured gravely, and I just knew something bad was going to happen to him. Amel is going to get into so much trouble without him. Please pull through mentor character!
I am not as much of a fan of the romance between Leng and Amel as I thought I would be, but the rest of the plot is so good it makes up for it. It may be that I'm getting a bit too old of YA style romance. Too much kissing and not enough substance, IMHO. Still, the romance is needed to brighten up and provide hope to the characters. I do like Savette's romance, I feel like there is more to her love than is showed.
Raolcan is my favorite character, honestly. Between his knowledgeable advice, his sassy come-backs and his very fragile vanity, he is a great addition to Amel's team.
Amel made it to the next stage of her training and well deserved indeed! The end of this one made it really hard to stop reading!
