I truly don't understand how this book is so good.  The premise is so ridiculous, but it works so well.  I absolutely love these characters.  The relationship that builds even more between Arlon and Dom, as well as Dom and Olbric, are perfection.  There are a few scenes in here that I found pretty hardcore, and made me a little uncomfortable, but it didn't make the story any less enjoyable.  I am moving right on into book three.
