I still gave it 4 stars though.I loved Amber a lot. She isn't annoyingly emotional or completely damaged and dead to her emotions either, just practical.Overall, the writing is tight and never feels like it unravels at any point. This book was a bit slower than the others.  There were a few spots where it felt as if not much was happening and I cheated and skipped a paragraph.  One of the aspects of the previous books that I admired is that Henwick never forced his characters to play dumb and not put two and two together in order to let the plot go the pre-determined direction.  Unfortunately, this book did that to some extent, so that the final showdown could happen in the way it needed to.  I saw it coming a long, long time before the final mystery was "revealed," and was kinda disappointed that there was no plot twist instead of what I expected.However, the characters remain strong and interesting, and I will immediately snap up the sequel when it's available.
