I enjoyed this, although it felt a little more YA than the last book. Yes, there is still blood magic, etc., but referring to Gideon as a boy, repeatedly, felt wrong. If ever there was a manly man, it's Gideon Sharpe, and nothing about him gives the ...more

What it lacks is a good editor. An editor who would have condensed it.(It didn't need to be so long). An editor who p
