Since I will NOT go into any plots or in depth character reviews, here is my take on this book.While I have read all 5 of the 6 in the series and have started the 6th recently, this is a highly recommended installment in my opinion.  I also liked that Natasha, while present, was not the end all, be all of the central character involvement here .  The author is focusing on the story, and not one particular character, and this was a good direction to go in.ACTION packed! It was a nail bitter for sure.  Situation was critical actually, and the author had me frustrated at the parts I was supposed to be frustrated at, by building the tension just right.  Good planning all around on this book.  AND.. I like that the climactic "end" to the major conflict did not happen at the very end of the book :-)  It happens before the last portion of the book, so they have time to revel in the aftermath and lead into the  next in the series.  Kind of like a cool down after a hard workout. Thanks D.N.!  I needed that after that huge roller coaster ride of a story you told in this book.New characters brought into the mix were both interesting and developed well, older peripheral characters mentioned in prior books, were more involved in this installment and developed into their own uniqueness, and the legendary OLD maker was brought back in as well (I love that character).I think of all 5 of the 6 books, this was most exciting for me. (All books so far have gotten 5 stars from me so far, except book #3 the Royal Flush. It was good, but my least favorite.) My reviews are posted for all 5 of the book I've read so far.Great job D. N.  Partway through the beginning of book #6, and it is going great.
