Hmmm, I read it years ago so I don't remember very well, but I remember being annoyed at the drama at the ending. That said, i think it was more of one spiked drama that seemed to be there only to move the relationship somewhere. I think (view spoiler)[there was some more death before the ending, but I believe that was entirely off page (hide spoiler)].

Okay, I checked (just skimmed and also started to write the comment before finishing hence the messiness of it) and there is more violence in Chapter 21, especially in the beginning but there are some more casual mentions later on. And okay... (view spoiler)[one of the important characters was tortured, I don't believe the torture was on page, but the physical descriptions of the results are (hide spoiler)]. That's at the end of Chapter 21. I think it might be best for you to skip Chapter 21 and go straight to Chapter 22 (I didn't check, but plot-wise it wouldn't make sense for the violence to continue there). I can sum up Chapter 21 for you without the violent details if you want.

That's very helpful and very kind of you. I'm going to do just that and skip chapter 21.

I just took a peek at the blurb and some reviews for the next book in the series, Eidolon, and it definitely sounds like there's going to be more "action" in that part. I'm not sure anymore if I want to continue. Let me think about this a bit more.

Sure, not a problem, do what's best for you! I'll read it eventually either way, so if you decide not to read it right now, I can let you know how bad is it later. I didn't read that much from Grace Draven but her Fallen Empire series were really dark and violent so I guess nothing is out of question, even though I really thought and hoped that this series will be more cozy.
