This book takes a different angle.  Jai is immersed more in the Guardian society, even if she does not realize it, than the others in the previous books. The hero is different from the previous heroes. Her characters are interesting and well developed. They are 200 (give or take a few decades) and have had long lives, and extensive histories. She infuses her characters with this. Even the humans who have shorter lives are fully developed as they should be.  Jai is an interesting addition.  She is looking for her lost daughter and these types of story lines where the heroine is looking for someone usually is a tougher sell for me. I want it to be all about the hero and heroine.  I usually do not like the attention divided by looking for a lost family member.  Having said this, I really liked this story, which is saying something. Tsu is gentle AND strong.  This is often a harder sell in a hero.  She makes it work.  I was very satisfied with the endings and the promise of what is in store for future books.  On the author web site it appears that there is going to be a bit of a wait before the next installment.  As long as she keeps them coming I will be happily and eagerly (impatiently) looking forward to next book.
