So we now have a book about Malcolm and it was amazing (just like the rest of the series!) I have never been the biggest Malcolm fan, but I never hated his character either, he has always just been a character I never really got to know and was just always around giving some comic relief. This book has made me a Malcolm fan (eventually cause I was kinda mad at him through some of it!)We start with the birth of Anna, Andre has agreed to raise her as his own and Malcolm wont even look at her calling her an abomination. Andre takes her to a city in the clouds called Cirrus where she is betrothed to the future emperor. We all know (from Caylin's story) Anna is very important to the future and God's plan. I loved the suspense of wondering why Anna is an abomination and who her father is. I also loved how head strong she is and reminds me so much of Lilly and Caylin, but was still so unique in her own personality. I felt myself rooting for her and Malcolm throughout the whole story and cheering her on to break down the walls Malcolm had built around himself. All the while letting my heart break for both of them, while she was feeling rejected the whole time, I felt Malcolm's pain from his past and his love of Lilly.The Watchers have always been a storyline I have loved and to be able to grow and love all of these characters and how all the stories are tied in to the previous ones. In a way I guess that makes me a little like Malcolm, growing to love all of these heroines and wanting nothing but greatness for them. While he is a little more extreme is his protectiveness off them I can only sit back and watch.All in all this was another great book from S.J. West and I can't wait for the next book to come out this spring!!
