Review: Great characters
Rating: 4 out of 5

I only have one major problem with this series, the stupid blonde in this third book.  Honestly, I'd only fairly give this one maybe 2 stars since I really, really dislike her; however, the series in its entirety is really good.  And, I'm giving it 4 stars in good faith that we've seen the last of the unbelievably irritating 'love interest'.Other than that... these are characters that draw you into the story.  The author does a superb job of making them 'real' so you feel vested in their successes and failures.  They are each interesting, unique, and have depth.The best thing about this series is that each book, while connected through a solid background story, always brings something new.  The core remains, but the characters continue to be challenged in new and interesting ways.  And, their relationships with each other actually develop more over time in a way that seems natural - not an easy thing do convey well.
