I enjoyed books one and two enough to purchase the third - this author is creative with world building and writes flawed, believable characters. I didn’t always like them, but I needed to see their stories progress - the mark of a worthwhile storyteller, in my opinion. This addition to the story could accurately be described as a partial taming or the wild Shea, but she retains her fierceness despite that irritating - if eminently expected, and logical - turn.

This has everything I loved in the first book and more. Now we get to see Fallon and Shae dealing with everything together as a couple. I absolutely adore how protective and possessive Fallon is of Shae. You really see how much he feels about her and would rather die than lose her. I'm also loving how the some of the clans are realizing how special Shae is. Some are still stubborn, but the others are starting to realize how smart she is and have started to trust her. There is just so many fascinating things happening in this series. This one ended on more of a cliffhanger than the first and I will be starting book two immediately. I'm pretty angry at her father and I'm very curious if Shae's people really are as cutthroat as they are being portrayed.
