This book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. This book has everything including action, adventure, mystery and romance. Jane Toombs combines all of these elements to create characters and a plot that is memorable. This is the second in a series, but I didn't have to read the first one to understand it, even though I do have it and will be going back to read it. This book is really great and a must read for fantasy lovers.
