For someone who reads daily, some would call obsssively, I rarely leave a review.  I'm going to go back and leave all of the books in a series a heartfelt review.  I hesitated to buy this one, as Io was my least favorite character.  But this author had proved herself, and earned the money I had already spent, so I was willing to take the risk.  If nothing else, I wanted to see the continuing stories of the other characters.  By continuing stories, I don't mean the usual "oh how happy they are, and everyone wants a HEA like theirs", but actual real content as the character continues to grow and evolve.  I am thrilled to say the author did not dissappoint with Io's story.  You can read plot summary elsewhere.  I wanted to share how I feel when I read this series... involved, immersed in the world, anxious, forcing myself to slow down when I can't see how they manage to get out of this alive, and I am speeding ahead.  This book is not perfect, and if I wanted to be an editor, i could nit pick.  But, that is not how I judge a book.  A good book builds within the reader an empathy for the character and a belief that the character can change and grow.  It not only entertains, but touches the reader on a personal level, and remains within their thoughts after the book is over.  This book does that.
