Broken Veil

Harbinger #5

by Jeff Wheeler

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler’s epic Harbinger series comes to a breathtaking conclusion as two women are swept into a battle that could destroy two worlds.

Rescued from a world of poverty, Cettie Pratt has avoided a bleak destiny—until now. Deceived and manipulated, she has been groomed for the ultimate to destroy her best friend and stop peace from uniting two war-torn worlds. Her path leads her to a mysterious underworld where appearances can be deceiving.

Sera Fitzempress knows the value she has to her enemies. As heir to the empire, she must keep her foes at bay and prevent them from unleashing a being of unspeakable evil upon the world while fighting a brutal war. But her enemies are more cunning than Sera expects, and the key to their plans is none other than her best friend.

Neither woman knows what to believe. Neither one knows if she can trust the other. Both Cettie and Sera have made decisions that have irrevocably changed them. But the decisions they have yet to make will determine the fate of their world…

A solid and satisfying ending to an enjoyable series.

If you like YA (young adult) fantasy with magic and sky-ships then you will enjoy this series.

I will be interested in reading more of this author's work in the future.

[Tessa Dysart · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really liked the beginning of this series, and I have read many, if not most, of Jeff Wheeler's books, especially the ones set in this same "world." But, I didn't love this final book in the Harbinger series (and I didn't really love book 4 either). I think that my biggest complaint was that it just got too complicated. There was too much cross over from past books (I felt that I should be remembering more), and the religious elements got too confusing and overwhelmed the story.

I do appreciate how quickly Jeff Wheeler publishes books, and I may give his next series a try, but I just don't know.

Thank you Net Galley for the free e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I finished this about two days after Prism Cloud and I guess it didn't make it over here

Here's what I have so far - I eventually got sick of the alternate kidnappings

I did like having Adam as the interlude voice this time

I liked the resolution each character got

The ending was... I think I saw it coming, the divine intervention. Not bad but also a bit lacking

Showing how much the different faiths were similar, while keeping their differences

What tf did I miss not finishing the set of books about Trynne? I have to go back and see wtf happened to Sinia and Owen, that was surprising to say the least

Jeff Wheeler is without a doubt one of my favorite fantasy writers.  His stories are generally based on a real life historical occurrence and then fleshed out fully into a world of magic and fantasy.   His talent lies in world building and weaving his series together across centuries and worlds.  When reading anything by Wheeler, I'm dorkishly happy to find the exact moment when a completely new series with completely new characters ties seamlessly into a previous book.  I also love when a great character from another series finds their way into a new series.  Wheeler's writing makes this incredible feat seem effortless. I was obsessed with Wheeler's works last year, and as soon as The Harbinger Series came out, I was on it.  I have been obsessively reading each book as it is released.   

Unfortunately, if we're being honest, The Harbinger Series is by far my least favorite of Wheeler's works.  Unlike the Kingfountain Series which was a very well developed story with incredibly engaging full-bodied characters, The Harbinger Series feels like it has a lot of potential but wasn't edited down and buttoned up.  In addition to the main characters, Cettie and Sera, there are a lot of characters and two worlds to keep track of in this series, along with monsters, politics, lost history, war, romance and friendship.  There are so many story lines running at once that the reader tends to lose and pick up the story again and again.

While Sera grows, develops and matures in a way that is consistent with her character throughout the series, Cettie changes drastically and starts making decisions that are in no way aligned with what we know her character to be.  Wheeler never fleshes out why Cettie starts behaving so oddly, so the series loses a lot of plot consistency with her waffling.  Wheeler normally writes young women well, so to see Cettie go from a strong smart young woman to a very insecure one, was terrible.

The Harbinger Series also introduces  a new type of magic that allows entire estates to float in the air.  As a reader, the floating estates caused too many issues.  I wanted to know what these estates actually looked like, how the plants managed to survive, how big they were, what the weather was like, how people got from one place to the other.  Wheeler, rather than getting into the details on these, explains them away with "it's one of the Mysteries".  Supposedly, no one in the entire world knows how these estates float, except when the owners go too far into debt, the estates crash back down to the ground, putting everyone below in danger.  The floating estates are also accessed by "Hurricanes", a type of sky ship that is powered, again, by "The Mysteries". 

One of my biggest issues with The Harbinger Series is how the technology and magic doesn't seem to align.  They have floating estates and sky ships, but not indoor plumbing. 

In addition to all of the alignment and consistency issues, The Harbinger Series is darker than all of the other books, making for a very long read.     

I love Jeff Wheeler and I really wanted to love the Harbinger series.  Unfortunately, it's a 3 star rating this time.  Still a good series and good books, just not breathtaking like The Kingfountain Series.

5 Whole Stars and I will give more if I could

I cannot tell you how beyond excited I was when I receive this advanced copy for this awesome conclusion of Harbinger Series.

First of all, I so LOVE the cover art and I would like to give major props to the designer. It's very impressive and it tells you how fantastic and magnificent the Sky Manors are that Jeff Wheeler created.

"The veil within the universe had broken."

In this finale, Cettie of the Fells and Empress Sera's characters evolved in so many ways I could count. From Sera's selfishness to a great ruler of her Kingdom and Cettie, who rose from poverty to an even wiser woman she had become.

I had goosies reading it from the very beginning till the end. It’s a very gripping book that I read it in one seating. This became one of my favorite page-turner book this year!



And then there are some characters I Love to Hate. And I have never hated someone like I hated Dolores Umbridge. Then there’s this character that reminds me of Ms. Trenchbull from Matilda from book one.

"Hate, above all, is the greatest scourge."



....And then this guy showed up from The Queen's Poisoner and then 2 more Legends of the Past showed up and something about the "ole oak tree"! Then the action begins and a great epic finale it is!

"It will be no greater miracle that brings us into another world to live forever with our dearest friends than that which has brought us into this one to live a lifetime with them."



And if you're a fan of the author, you will find there is a lot of Easter Eggs from his previous books.

Lastly, let's say goodbye to these 5 following characters:





I am sure this is not the last time we will be hearing of Cettie and Sera. What a brilliant ending of this series, though. This is how you write a finale, y'all!

[Eric Allen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a 5 star book.

And then the ending happened.

I am extremely disappointed that the author decided to go the divine intervention route to resolve everything in the end. It cheapens everything these characters have been through up to this point. What was even the point of the 5 books leading up to it, if god was going to step in, wave his hand, and make all of the bad go away? Any time an author resorts to divine intervention I immediately knock two stars off of the rating for it.

3.25

Wheeler still managed to get a lot of the "don't ask questions and the sky daddies will take care of you, you will be able to claim nobility in action, free will is the downfall of humanity" drivel in this one, too.

If you can overlook that call to inaction it was a somewhat satisfying end to what I think is the best of the series in Wheeler's universe. It was certainly emotionally evocative even if a bit over fraught with self flagellation in spots. I can't help but wonder if the last thoughts of the missionaries who have recently been killed by native tribes in remote areas was "I trust my sky daddy to deliver me". But I digress.

The Christian dogma, thinly disguised, is strong in this author.

I still need to read the last three or four in the Kingfountain series, and the Mirrowen series, to complete his current catalog - but I think I'm done.

[Sue Olp · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one book I was waiting on pins and needles to read. "Broken Veil" is the fifth in the Harbinger series, written by fantasy author Jeff Wheeler, who I think is a master at building suspense. And truth be told, "Prism Cloud," book four in the series took readers (including me) on a roller coaster ride that left me wrung out. Characters I thought I knew went in different directions and left me wondering how Wheeler could possibly tie all the strings together in the last book of the series and help me make sense of their choices. And by the end of "Broken Veil" he had done just that. He also employed a technique I really like of dropping in characters from past books that added a nice touch. Wheeler does this in a way that doesn't take anything away for readers who are first-timers to this world he has created, but provides a little reward to those who have read his other series. He also has left wiggle room for a return visit to this world, and I will look forward to coming back to Comoros and King Fountain if, indeed, that's what he has planned.

I really enjoyed reading this series. I'm not going to write reviews for each book because I read them one right after the other and the lines of where one stopped and the next began have become rather fuzzy in my mind. I also feel like I would just be repeating myself a lot. If you read my review of the first book in the series, Storm Glass, then you know I was fairly new to Jeff Wheeler's books, having only previously read The King's Poisoner. Little did I know at the time how much I would be pulled into both series, plus the Muirwood series, or how interconnected they all were. For the most part, it's been a fun ride, with some minor gripes on my part, especially concerning Muirwood. I still think after finishing this series that the author laid the religious aspects on too thick. It got slightly annoying to me in this series, but not nearly as bad as Muirwood.

There were some heartbreaking things that happened in this series, and also some really great things. Book 4, Prism Cloud was particularly heartbreaking and a bit of a downer compared to the other books. I knew things would somehow end up being set straight in this one, and I'm mostly happy with the way things ended. I was also pleasantly surprised that a couple of my favorite characters from Kingfountain appear in this book.

It's funny how initially I liked reading about Cettie more than Sera, but by the end of the series it had switched. I still liked Cettie as well, but I think with the path she went down for a while, her chapters got a little depressing compared to Sera's. I think the way the author handled the choices Cettie made was really well done. While I was disappointed in the way her story ended up going for a while, it also felt necessary, and gave some insight into the other side of things. I did feel like the bad guys were a little bit over the top a few times though, but that may have had a lot to do with the way the narrator was narrating those parts.

One thing I really enjoyed about this series is the world building. The floating estates, the air ships, the gates to the other world...it had a bit of a steampunkish feeling to it. It's my second favorite series that Wheeler has written, right behind Kingfountain, which had a more medieval/Authurian feel to it. The Legends of Muirwood would be a distant third in my opinion. It felt rather bland compared to the other two, and then there were my other complaints that I won't rehash here.

Now that I've read these books and the other series as well I would recommend to anyone wanting to read Wheeler's books, to start with either The Legends of Muirwood or the first three Kingfountain books and switch over to Legends of Muirwood before reading the last three Kingfountain books. I'm saying that as a person who didn't like Legends of Muirwood very much, and I think if I had started there I wouldn't have continued to any of the other series. Anyway here is how I would recommend reading them:

Kingfountain books 1-3
Legends of Muirwood trilogy
Kingfountain books 4-6
Covenant of Muirwood trilogy
Harbinger series

Although I haven't read it yet, I'm placing Covenant of Muirwood in there ahead of Harbinger, because things in that trilogy take place before Harbinger, and there are people and events referenced in the Harbinger series that take place in that series. Had I known, I probably would have read it first.

This is a satisfying ending to a good YA Fantasy series. Most of the storylines are wrapped up, and there is a juicy cliffhanger that is surely a hint for a new series.

This book focuses mainly on Cettie's journey back to the person she used to be before she was tricked into going with her father and mother to the poisoner's school. She has trained hard and become quite adept, however she still can't wipe the Fitzroy family or her best friend Empress Sera out of her mind. Escape is impossible and any attempt would cost her life. When she is assigned a kishion (a person that bonds with her hetaera and can share her powers and feelings) and given a task to complete, she is filled with hope that she may escape. Unfortunately the assignment doesn't go as planned and she finds herself even more trapped and in danger.

Meanwhile the war with Kingfountain is not going well and Sera struggles to keep her advisors in check. Her husband, Trevan, who was kidnapped a year ago is still missing and she doesn't know if he's still alive. When factions make a move on Sera, she finds herself in serious danger. Both woman don't know who they can trust and various forces work against them in their search for power.

The story picks up where the previous book ends. This is a very quick, easy read. The book is fast paced and doesn't let up until the end. It is filled with the characters you love and hate from previous books, with a couple of cameos for a nice surprise. There are a few elements of a new storyline injected which is sure to be the focus of books to come.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series. The author is such a good writer, and the story flows so seamlessly, that hours pass without you even realizing it. I really like the main characters Sera and Cettie. They have doubts, as all young women do, but I like that they don't let those doubts define them. They trust their instincts, and themselves, and use that strength to achieve their goals. This is a good book and series and I highly recommend you read it.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

[Gwendolyn Brooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think one of my favorite things about this series is the level of personal development that each character goes through as the story unfolds. I like the themes of the hero's quest, that our character is developed by our choices both great and small, and that redemption is possible when we recognize and openly confess our faults and then work towards not repeating them in some other form. I especially liked the way the relationships between the characters grew and developed throughout this series. Today, there are a number of high fantasy works coming out, especially after the great commercial success of Game of Thrones, but, it's nice that this isn't a cookie-cutter imitation of GOT in terms of world-building. There is great good, and evil, in this world, but, the author is able to illustrate it without resorting to profanity or overt sexuality. Now, I did enjoy both the novels and screen adaptation of GOT, despite that, but, it was a very nice change to have such a well written fantasy series be able to depict a good vs. evil story without resorting to those devices. This is a great series for teens, pre-teens and young adults, as well as us older folks. I was sad to see that this is the final book in this particular series, because I had a wonderful journey with these characters!

Notes:

I was going to rate the story 3 stars but I decided to go with 2.5 Stars. I've enjoyed the Harbinger series and it's odd to have a book feel out of place within the series. The contents in this book could be cut up into two books and one or more short stories. I did not like how the majority of the story was told in awkward summaries. A lot of 'talking at' the audience and a bit of showing by unrolling the plot. The narrative voice I've come to think of as the Harbinger series popped up towards the end but it was too late.

I thought I would enjoy the story and I'm sad to say that I didn't like 2/3 of the book.

Ah man! What an amazing final installment in an incredible series! I enjoyed every book in the series and can't believe it's over! I almost want to read it all over again! 😊

[Madeleine Myers · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have put off writing this review because I struggled with the 5-stars I always want to give Jeff Wheeler's amazing books. Like so many other readers, I found Book 4 in this series painfully grim, the tension unrelieved, except for the brief interplay between Sera and Trevon, which fell a bit short of Wheeler's handling of the romantic interests of his other series. I did not think Cettie would give in to the myriad ones so easily, and her true father's death was almost too much. After such a cliffhanger at the end of Book 4, and the long wait for Book 5, I read the book too fast the first time and then felt it deserved another reading in case I missed some of the answers and resolutions I had hoped to see in the series finale. I also felt a lack of balance between the pain and torment of the main characters, and the glimmers of hope and promise of justice offered by the medium/fountain, or at least a relief from tension, at the start of Book 5.

My second reading did resolve some issues, although I did hope for some hint of Trevon's fate at the start. I'm sure the suspense had its purpose, though, but I still agree with some of the other reviewers that the solutions seemed to have been rushed, and a little more attention to the joyful reunions and repairing of broken relationships would have helped. My favorite among Wheeler's series, the ones that offer a uniquely complex and engaging development of relationships between characters, are still the books in the two Muirwood series, especially the Covenant series. That Wheeler can keep the romance appealing and interesting and wholesome at the same time is a tribute to his artistry.

I did feel some characters deserved more attention, especially Anna, who was so important in the earlier books. We did not find out how she escaped her poisoners and recovered, and were not given a hint of how she was able to give up her love for Adam, except for Adam's comment that she found being in the Fells "uncomfortable." I also wish we'd seen more of Kasdan in action, and Curtis, the "grandson" of Owen Kiskadon (Owen will not be as meaningful to those who have not read the Kingfountain books) and Sinia, and I cannot help but wonder if Curtis will feature prominently in a future series???

That said, I do admire for the most part how some characters and situations from other worlds get a replay in this book (as they did in Kingfountain's finale). I almost thought the Dryad's intervention was a bit gratuitous until I realized her role in two of the other stories, not did I realize the importance of Maderos--I had not remembered the connection revealed here. In fact, in Book 4 I suspected that Jevin was really Maderos. Others were not surprising and it seemed almost inevitable that Sinia and/or Maia would make contact with Sera, just as Owen and Maderos would figure into Cettie's rescue and atonement.

Cettie's remorse and acceptance of just punishments was inspiring. While I noticed that some reviewers objected to the "religious" elements, these reviewers may not understand that Jeff Wheeler is a devoutly religious author, but he has masterfully treated his treatment of the faith journey and afterlife and ritual elements in his works as archetypes--entirely accessible to the human experience and present in classical literature through the ages, from the Greek epics through the Bible and Jewish literature, and in modern Nobel prize-winning authors of all nationalities and beliefs. William Faulkner referred to the necessity of the "old verities"--which are archetypal in nature themselves: "pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice." Neither the books nor their author get "preachy" in the advice and counsel they give the protagonists. Here the nature of the journey common to all of us mortals, the virtues that get us where we need to go, and the sacrifices that need to be made but which only succeed with the love ordered by a compassionate Creator that deserves our worship, are beautifully rendered in the journeys of Cettie and Sera.

Well done once again, Mr. Wheeler. Awaiting the next one already!

[Jamie · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fantastic series this was! I really enjoyed each book and this final installment brought everything together perfectly . I loved "watching" Cettie and Sera grow up from book 1 until this final one. Literally and figuratively.... they started out as around 12 in book one and by this final book they were 18/19 ish. Each book was a different time in their life as they learned new things and became more powerful and their own right. So many other characters that I grew to care for and watch the changes that overcame them as well. Add in a fantastical world with magic and this was a series that held me captive from beginning to end. I'll definitely be checking out more of Jeff Wheeler's other series very soon.

P.S.// This whole series is on Kindle Unlimited with FREE narration and the narrator was great!

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jeff Wheeler is one of my favorite authors. He has created these worlds that are so complete with everything thought out and described so well that I truly can picture it as I'm reading.

This is the last book in the spellbinding Harbinger series and I am truly sad that the stories are over. I am so glad to see how everything came together and worked out in the end. The strength and complexity of the characters is remarkable and you can't help but to feel all the emotions of their trials and tribulations with them. I loved seeing Maderos, Owen, and Sinia again after all this time. I love the little things that tie the different series together.

I do recommend reading the books in order. There are several series that you can combine into one to have an even better reading experience. He has a reading order on his site - https://jeff-wheeler.com/
I also highly recommend the audio version narrated by Kate Rudd. I have both read and listened to the audio versions of all of his books because Kate Rudd really brings them to life with her talented voice.

[Philip Lane · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great conclusion to a great series!

I always devour Jeff's books whenever a new series is released and now, alas, I must endure the wait for the next one!

Redemption, hope, treachery, deceit, torture, and love mix together with a little help from The Medium (or is it The Knowing, or even The Fountain?) and for once, the ultimate conclusion lies with the people, and not with the magic to provide a solution.

Be warned - once started, it is very hard to put it down (not that you'll want to)!

(fifth and final book of the series)

I was pleasantry surprised by the first book and the following book have only confirmed me in my feeling: this is a really good fantasy series (of the classic-fantasy sub-genre with quite a bit of political intrigue).
It has a really good setting and a well done magical system that you learn little by little as the story goes on. The set of characters are mostly young ones and yes, you just know they're destined to greatness, etc., etc... But it's really well done: you come to know them, care for them, fear with them and see them grow day by day and year by year.
The world is solid and as the story goes on it continue expanding and being ever more convincing.
The story is epic and full of political intrigue and I'm quite liking it.
The only downside (in my opinion, clearly) is that maybe the series could have been a book shorter, leaving out some part that, while interesting and contributing to the story, it somewhat slow the momentum of the story. And maybe the moral message is too little disguised but that is a totally personal view.
The ending is quite satisfying.
I like the genre. I like the setting. I like more and more the story and its wonderful characters.

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

I won a free copy of this book prior to being released to the public, but rather than write a review of just this volume I decided to do the entire Harbinger series.

Jeff Wheeler is a master storyteller, and the Harbinger series is just the latest example. Wheeler loves to take elements from medieval history and weave them into his novels. As a result, his books have an authentic feel to them lacking in other authors' fantasy efforts. His main characters are usually not static, but tend to change as time goes by (just as we all do).

The Harbinger series revolves mostly around a poor young child named Cettie. The world she lives in is deeply divided into the ultra-wealthy Haves (who live in floating palaces) and the poor Have Nots (who live in slums beneith the palaces). Cettie is taken into the home of a kind rich family and now dwells in the sky palace with them.

It would seems to be a run-of-the-mill rags to riches story, but as the series progresses we find out that many things are not what they seem. One feature of Wheeler's writings is his ability to spring surprises and plot twists without giving them away beforehand. More than once I put the book down and said, "I didn't see THAT coming!" Furthermore, Wheeler's plots twists are not illogical or contrived, but make sense in the characters' world.

The Harbinger series is part of a genre called "clean SF/Fantasy", which I found welcome after trying (and failing) to slog my way through some other science fiction/fantasy books that tried to use shock to cover up a mediocre plot.

One final note: this series draws on characters and events in Wheeler's other series (Muirwood and Kingsfountain), but you can easily read the Harbinger series without having read them.

And if you haven't read the Muirwood and Kingsfountain series, you are in for a treat......

[Katherina · Rating 2 out of 5]

I have read multiple Jeff Wheeler series and this one has been my favorite. I was sorely disappointed by this ending, though. Everything wrapped up so neatly in a bow, the day saved by Owen, Sinia, and Maderos. I was annoyed that we again had the hetaera plot line. All of Wheeler's books seem to come back to this and it gets old. When this series started I thought it was so different, and that was refreshing. Brief allusions to the past were fine, but bringing it all to the forefront was too much. I wish Wheeler would call his books one big series since they are so intimated connected and all deal with the same people and the same problems and the same world.

A bit too much of blind religion in this last book, that’s why the 4 stars instead the regular 5. But the story developed in an interesting way! Liked the end!!!

[Derek Jordan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not positive I liked this ending.. not because the ending was bad, but because I feel as if characters did things at some unexpected turns - and even what I felt was a jarring change in the last book just took another one in this one which pretty much made me not trust the way the last one told the story. Then again... people can be like that and maybe it's a bit more true to life than I realized. I still have issue with the lack of reader getting to see these take place at times and there are a ton of things in this that just came out of nowhere .. it seems like. I actually felt that if much of the "villain" story was told I would have liked this a bit more, but sometimes telling their story makes them feel more human and even like some you should root for - so I get the choice not to tell it so much.

Anyway.. a decent series I am glad I have read, but I likely will not go back and read it again.

Tal vez merezca hasta un 3, definitivamente de toda la serie es el mejor libro, en el que más, eh sentido, avanza la historia, pero el final, ohhg terrible, un Deus Ex Machina en todo su esplendor, aparecen 3 personajes, que sepa dios quien son (por lo que entiendo de otros libros del mismo autor) y prácticamente cierran la trama del libro, como final de una serie de 5 libros se me hizo muy poco satisfactorio.

Un mundo de cosas que no te explican al final,
que pasa después de que separan los mundos, en plan, que consecuencias puede tener
que pedo con toda la gente que se esta muriendo de su versión de la pese, eso que tuvo que ver con toda la historia, no afecto a nadie, ni idea de porque sucedio, nada
y que terrible que el demonio que pasaron toda, literal toda la serie, evitando que liberaran, que al final liberaron, solo se fue, y sera algo con lo que "nuestros heroes liearan en el futuro", que tonteria.

No lo recomiendo, mala idea haberme echado toda la serie.

I loved how the story unfolded in the Broken Veil and how the trilogy ended. I do think this is an awesome conclusion of Harbinger Series.
Bringing back Owen and the nostalgic memories the way Jeff does is very pleasant. And this book gives both Cettie and Sera an equal amount of attention.
I still like Jeff's Wheeler writing and storytelling. I'll be keeping an eye open to see what he is going to create next :)

What an ending to the series! I hope this takes off like Harry Potter to be honest and gets made into films! I felt like I’d been on a journey with all the characters and everything was rounded off well and how I wanted! A fantastic read itself but a great round up book with still so much happening in it to end the series! Recommend this highly to anyone who loved HP! X

thanks Goodreads giveaways for my free kindle copy!

I discovered the series through Kindle Unlimited, and was very impressed with the story and the quality. I'm happy I read the whole series.

It's written very simply, the characters are well done, and the world and civilizations Jeff Wheeler built was great. I'm glad for books that have some drama but can still have a proper ending and a happy one at the same time.

This final book concludes the series well, and wraps up nearly every character line quite nicely. ...With the exception of the Patchett's. I know we were never really introduced to the TRUE Patchett's, nor were they main characters, but I would have liked to know what happened to them upon their release from the poisoner prisons.

I’m so sad this series is over! I loved the twists and turns that I didn’t expect and I loved how it ended (although I don’t feel that everything was resolved so a possible new series could happen in the future?!?) Cettie and Sera are two very strong women and two of my favorite characters of all time. This series was a great read!

Wonderful story

A great read. One I found hard to put down. A good ending to a good story. I highly recommended.
