This was the fourth book in the series and it was the longest so far. It felt a little slow in the middle, but the last 200 pages had me on the edge of my seat. It is amazing how much these characters have grown since the first book.

Epic world building. Love the elaborate plans for revenge, the small elements of friendship and hope. Team Rowan.

This book references sex, but not in a graphic way. The characters list for each other but don’t actually fulfill those desires. Minor storyline dealing with pregnancy and a miscarriage. Lots of blood and carnage, but she’s an assassin and they’re fighting a war.
