This is the final book, Book Six, in the Queen's Blade series, and Blade, the cold assassin, is starting to become more human.--spoiler alert!--We've watched Queen Minna and Almost-Queen Kerra and Regent Chiana all respect and love Blade and yet Blade subconsciously refuse to believe he's worthy and instead hide his emotions behind a wall of ice and eyes of granite. He has suffered castration, slavery and assassinated hundreds of people, but more than that, he watched his animal familiar murdered and his family murdered and enslaved. These experiences have scarred him terribly and part of his heroism comes from watching him still do honorable and admirable things, even though he doesn't feel like he cares about honor or any person.But after all his suffering, when his animal familiar, Rivan, is restored by special dispensation, he must let down his walls or be Shunned from his beloved re-birthed familiar. As his walls slowly melt, he discovers he can trust and love again and Chiana is happy as the book ends with his heart finally mending (and he PLAYS with his cat familiar!).Happy Ending for these characters that I've enjoyed getting to know. Plus lots of political intrigue and power struggles. It's a great series and I recommend you read it too!~Valerie Harmon, The Kindle Book Review(Disclaimer: I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review and The Kindle Book Review is not connected to the author or Amazon).
