This book was phenomenal. The world, the characters, the complexity of both story and character development were just beautiful. If I had a complaint at all its that the mysteries mount a lot more rapidly than they get solved but everything that's happening is so entertaining that it's not such a burden. I love that Kissen gets to be powerful, surly, strong, capable, smart, crafty, scarred, and still desirable BECAUSE of who she is and not despite of who she is. I found myself having to remind myself that the people in the book were not real so I could make it through some of the tense situations because they feel like real people and you love them all. 

In a good book, every one in an argument should have a good point and this author excels at layering on the shades of gray in a way that never makes anyones motivations feel cheap or contrived, even the "bad guys."

The disability, sexual orientation, and race representation is *chef's kiss*. It NEVER feels like the author is just checking off a box. 

I am so looking forward to the next one in this series.
