This is the second book in a fantastic Fantasy series that is getting better and better.  I gave Frozen Prospects 4 out of 5 stars but Thawed Fortunes is definitely worth a 5!The story continues where it left off and Va'del is still trying to find his niche.  He has Javin, Mar'li and On'li in his corner but their hands are being increasingly tied by political manoeuvrings.  Jain is still with him and their relationship is becoming stronger as they both accept each other, flaws and all.  They think that their time may be limited though as both are aware that the council will have the ultimate say in whether they can be married or not.  If Va'del doesn't become a Candidate then it isn't even an option.There is a lot more political wrangling and power plays in this book and unfortunately, Va'del is always smack in the middle of it.  The politicians are playing with his life, hopes and dreams and he doesn't know how much more he can take.This book is action packed both with physically and mentally.  Va'del as a character is a delight to read as he is very complex and you never know how he will react to a given situation.  Jain is solid and stronger than she thinks.  I really hope that these two are able to marry at some point!A brilliant book that takes the series to the next level.  Can't wait for the next one.
