Review: Good story, but dialogue needed

This was a good story. Maybe my own heightened sense of anticipation added to the minor sense of disappointment I had after reading Abel's story. There was one other element that didn't quite work for me. There was too much internal musing by the characters. At several points the story, a character was asked a question, and after a page and a half of introspection, reflection, deep thought, musing or whatever you want to call it, the question was answered. At one point I forgot the question!  This sucks some of the needed tension between Abel and Helene. After the first few chapters it became downright tiresome. I found myself skipping and had to force myself to read.The quiet ponderings of Helene and Abel could have been better spent in dialogue. All in all it was decent read, but Annyn and Garr's story (with Gaenor and Christian a close second) remain by favorite of the series. Please Tamera, I love your work, but let's have some witty or at the very least frequent thoughtful dialogue between Everard and his lady love in your next story.
