This latest of the Elemental Masters series was a quick, enjoyable read for me. I was especially happy to see a few of the other old familiar friends from other books in the series. This book has one of the more interesting villains as well, showing how the intersection of arrogance and excessive grief can lead down the path to absolute corruption. The heroine, Susannah is perhaps my second favorite of the Elemental Masters' heroines, after Maya. She's intelligent, self-determining, in no need of rescuing by anybody, but not averse to asking for help against a stronger foe either. My only real complaint with this story was that the conflict seemed a little too easily resolved in some ways, despite the addition of a major war.
