This one felt less like characters in a world doing things and more like a summary of historical events. Weird.

[Lisa Geddes · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as the first two but still well written

I really am having a great time in Branion and will be sad to finally finish my visits there. I was very impressed with this book, the characters were very well developed and likable. The war between the two religions and the family conflicts are well done and interesting. I think that this was one of my favorites of the series so far.

The third in the series, and story-wise, this one takes place waaaaay before the other two books. All-in-all I felt sorry for one of the main characters. However it didn't tickle my fancy as much as the other two books did.

Not my favorite in the series. It almost has a rushed feel to it. Still a book that I would recommend.

[Lynne · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the better books in this series.

This was good, too. It got "really good" around pg 430 ;)

Because I have to say at least something negative about every book I read, I found at least two distracting typos.

Onto the last one ! <3
