I think this is my favorite in the series so far. I really enjoyed watch Suzannah come out of her shell and learn to live life a little bit. Staufer was a great compliment to her personality, without it being too storybook perfect. Olivia finally gets a break after living a very horrible life as well. I was surprised to find the politics and court maneuvering a very good part of the story. It's so easy for that to take over in a story, but this was layered just right to create an atmosphere that let the characters experience danger and grow into their own.
