At last everything draws to a close. This novel contains more then any other book in this series and ends in a way that may seem disappointing to some, but I couldn't help but love how appropriate it is. Flowing from one event to the next, it keeps you tense as you try to find the hints of what is about to happen before it can surprise you. I found myself on the edge of my seat and unable to put the book down as I devoured the story. In a way I don't feel as though anything I could say about Chains would do it justice. So I will leave it at this: If you've enjoyed the story thus far then this book will bring you a lot of enjoyment as you draw closer to the end of Black Womb.
