I devoured this book so quickly. Kresley Cole is my favorite author and I could read her books any day. This is the first book in a new series, but she slipped in characters from "Immortals After Dark", which made very happy. I liked the male protagonist very much, and learned to like the female protagonist. I wasn't ultimately worried because I fully believed the author would solve the love triangle and she did. I wish the princess would realize how wonderful her mate was and forget about her "best friend" earlier, but whatever. It was very suspenseful, and I was always guessing at what would happen next.

Caspion pissed me off the entire time and it irked me that Bettina couldn't see what a glorious alpha male she had in Trehan. I love how Cole gives each of her characters a talent that makes them very special. Bettina was a metallurgist who made sneaky jewelry. I loved when they revealed the identity of her patroness. I was happy to see Bettina as a strong, decisive queen who was revered by her people. But she couldn't quite get her love life together? Priorities...

My previous review still stands and I'm addicted to the Dacians. I want to read all about them. I got a glance at Lothaire as king with Elisabeth. All I want is Kosmina's story. That's all I want. It's been two years. I need another installment of the Dacians. Please.
