Actual rating: 4.25 stars

This series is proving to be so enjoyable and fun and still with a complexity of characters that I really really like. This one wasn't as delightful as the previous ones, I think mainly because of some parts of the journey were a little dragging and not as interesting - we as readers knew what was going on but had to wait the characters realize. The ending was heart-wrenching in a way, but very action packed as well. I think some plotlines were resolved in a very easy manner, but it was satisfying. Still, I wished it would have been more developed. It did leave some very interesting questions and plots for the next book and I can't wait to see a very pregnant Lady McConn dealing with things - I absolutely love her character and her direct, no-nonsense way. I felt for Biffy and especially for Lord Alkedama and I'm dying to see what will become of this.

It's not the best installment of the series, but it's a nice transition book and it answers some very good questions about preternaturals, Alexia's father and the Templars, which so far were a mystery. I can't wait to continue on with these characters and this world.
