I have read all the "Cast In ...." books and found this latest release every bit as enjoyable as the previous volume. Michelle Sagara is one of my favorite storytellers. Whenever I see her name listed as the author on a book I'm right up there in line to snatch it up the minute it is released.My only disappointment this time was the storyline being left "unfinished" with the event the whole story revolved around left to be published in "Cast In Sorrow".  I know books are routinely being published in short serial "installments" these days but this time it left me feeling a bit gyped. I am a big fan of this series and don't need to be strung along or "teased" into buying the next installment. With so much of this plot being focused on and motivated by the upcoming "event" the characters were travelling towards it was a let down to discover I now have to wait for the release of "Cast In Sorrow" to finish the natural progression of the plot line woven through "Cast In Moonlight". This series hasn't played that game before....each book told it's own discrete story. It was my own desire to learn more of the characters that made me look so forward to the next book....instead of seeing the next book as my getting to "finish" the story started in the current book.Michelle Sagara is a prolific writer so I'm feeling this shorter installment was some publisher's "business plan" idea and I hope it will be an aberration rather than the new pattern I'll have to put up with while trying to go on enjoying this rich series.
