I'm not rating this book at this point. I skimmed it to refresh my brain on the characters and story line so that I can beta the next book. It's not fair to rate it when I couldn't focus my whole attention to it. I will say that Kody's mastery of words is still there. When I die I want my family to contact him to write my obit. That is how in love I am with his talent. Pray that I have time to come back and give this book my full attention. On to finish Death before I go on vacation. :D

Good read.

I liked the characters in the saga was a well written story the keeps you wanting more. I did get tired of the main character being a crybaby. All together I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good story with feelings.
