If you love sci fi & sci fi romance you will enjoy this series. Each book is a stand alone- but as you read each one, more of the empire is explained and you begin to understand that both systems have a roll to play and nothing is black and white. Great world building with characters that leap off the page and suck you into their stories. Enjoyable twists and turns and I mean machiavellian. You really don't work out who the baddy is- GREAT WRITING!  Even the characters you didn't particularly like in one book (I really didn't like Kyndan in the last book) redeem themselves, while other antagonists are revealed and yeah it was a shock. WOW!Kyndan is a keeper hero in this book! He is shown to be a loving and honourable man who would do anything for the heroine and he begins to understand a world he loathed and grows as a character.Alari is a woman torn sheltered and conflicted and she is a strong character but with a vulnerability that is heartbreaking. H & H were meant for each other and couldn't be with anyone else.I can't wait for more books in this series and I REALLY want Ariel MacArran to write FASTER!
