I knew this wouldn't have a happy ending, knowing what Haymitch ends up like in the original trilogy. But I didn't expect the ending to be that powerful and heart-wrenching. This is probably the best book in the series. ...more

DNF at 25%. First, the setting and magic/supernatural system are confusing and don't make a lot of sense, especially given how much of the first quarter of the book is dedicated to trying to show it pretty much to the exclusion of any plot or charact ...more

“Leave it to women to be cryptic rather than straightforward”
Kaye Dacus, Ransome's Honor

“What did I ever do to deserve a grandmother like you?

I don't know, but it must have been something wonderful.”
Kaye Dacus, Turnabout's Fair Play

“The men cheered, but the pounding of William’s heart drowned it out. His wife. He looked down at her in wonder. Hints of the ten year old Julia Witherington remained in the freckles across her nose and dimples in her cheeks. But standing beside him, Julia Ransome, was his wife-the woman he had been falling in love with for the past twenty years.
He now understood, fully comprehended, Collin’s decision to resign his commission and stay in England to be with Susan. Willam’s ship, his career, his reputation, none of it mattered any longer.
For if asked, William himself would walk away from his crew, forsake his duty, and even sacrifice his own honor to provide for and protect Julia.
Love remanded nothing less.”
Kaye Dacus, Ransome's Honor
