4.75 Stars

An exciting addition to this series, I devoured this book quickly and happily. I have to say that this is NOT a standalone, and I think this would be difficult for anyone to follow without knowing the history. The series has been building towards a confrontation between Salebiri, the God Chramnesind and the Mad Queen of Garbhan Isle, Cadwaladyrs and the House of Gwalchmai fab Gwyar and the battle finally comes to a rousing conclusion here (with a hint of things to come). All of the series favorites are involved in this one and all the ongoing plot points worked seamlessly to give me a fantastic, exciting tale.



The only thing that took a teeny, tiny, itty, bitty bit off the rating for me was the romance (aka the thing that brings me to the yard, every time). While I like Brannie and Aiden, and their relationship was fun, you could honestly take it out of the equation and this book would have functioned just as well. It didn’t feel essential, and while I liked the characters I wasn’t completely bowled over by them either.

Having said that, if you love this series I would highly recommend picking up this book. If you haven’t read the series but you love fantasy series with lots of humor and action-adventure and intricate familial relationships, I’d also encourage you to pick this up...after you start at the beginning.
