Jane begins this story a little confused and in a bit of danger, ok a lot of danger, and away from all her friends and allies as she must do what she does best and survive and figure things out. New and old characters pop in, allies and enemies made, and I was both entertained and hooked to see how Jane would survive this time. And what she would have to face in this new world she finds herself in. Could not wait to see how she would get herself out of danger and back home to her friends. Loved it and thought a great story with a few surprises ans scenes that made me laugh..

Well worth the wait!

D.D. has outdone herself with this one. I tried to read slowly to savor each little bit, but in the end I just had to know. This storyline is intriguing and well developed. I simply must know what happens to Jane next.

Good continuation of a series that is set in a rich world. The characters are complex and grow through the series and the story is fast paced and keeps you interested.
