Let me say, this series is good.  The characters, setting, dialogue, and writing, all good.  But, you cannot blatantly kill a major character to the point that they speak to the reader in the afterlife, and then 43% into the next book bring them back to life. Yes, there was a plausible reason for this character to fake his death.  I bought the author's rational.  But, why did this author choose in the last page of the first book of this series to have Hem speak in the afterlife. He was clearly dead. No room for doubt.  And yet, he is alive.  Omit that last page of Hem speaking in the afterlife, and it is all plausible.  But no, this author pushed the envelope beyond all belief, and therefore she made it unbelievable even for fiction.  That's pretty bad.  How unimaginative are you.  But most of all it amazes me that all you readers allowed this author to get away with this blatant deceit.Great, and I mean  really great, epilogue.  This could have been a 4/5 star review for me, but this author suspended belief for even fiction.  My beef ?  The underhanded means this author went to create angst/emotion was blatantly deceitful and cheap.  I have easily 1,300 books on my kindle.  This book blew me away.  So many 5 star reviews.  Is this how low we have gone as readers?  We allow authors to suspend belief this far?  Shame on the author and shame on the readers who promote such a sham.  I call bullish**!
