Review: My Favorite In The Series So Far
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is the fifth book in the Blood Destiny series. It does not stand alone. Each book is a continuation.Out of the five books this is my favorite in the series so far. Lissa travels off world and some interesting new species are introduced, as well as a new look on how vampire culture has developed on a different world. Lissa continues her emotional struggles with the men in her life who wish to protect her, control her, as well as use her talents. I don't find this a weakness in her character so much as a appropriate dichotomy. She has very strong powers, but she is young in the vampire world. The vampires are not used to dealing with women, especially Queen vampires, and always have their own agenda to accomplish (as do the werewolves, the human government, etc). I find the story line still compelling and the characters developing true to form... a 2,000 year old vampire isn't going to do a complete personality make-over after spending a year or two in someone's company... it would be ridiculous for all the vampires to simply become modern men who suddenly understand how to deal with Lissa...
