Deborah Chester you disappoint me! Pheresa spends most of this book wanting to be Queen and swearing to follow no one but herself and then gets herself talked into a corner and Talmor needs to rescue her. I swear Talmor is constantly rescuing her! My rants about how she writes female characters can be seen on some of my other reviews in these series. This book was filled with pretty boring characters and a plot that was all over the place. Personally, I'm kind of relieved that this series only has one more book left.

Omg yesh this is the first adultish fantasy book i've read, back in p6/sec1 or something.

I remember cringing at the scene where the characters...well, make love.

I don't really remember the plot, but i remember it was just..okay.

Anyway, the significance of this book is that I derived my english name from it :)
