**Originally posted on Book Bliss book blog. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 4 starsGeneral: For me, the third book in the series was by the best. Only have a  hiccup with Ciardis's  character that threw me from giving this a 5 star review because it soured me towards her. The writing was well done and the action scenes felt fluid, which I can be picky about since I know how hard they are to write and this book was filled to the brim with action.As with book 2 this book jumped right in and was strong from beginning to end. There were many darker elements in this book and I enjoyed the writing of them and felt it really added to the story the darker the plot went. There is also so much more action and good pacing in this book. I was finally drawn in from the beginning to the end and was pleased. The characters to me had fitting issues and were all believable with the exception of our leading lady, Cairdis.Characters: Cairdis- Ciardis took a step backwards for me. She has something going on for her that I will not put here as i is a spoiler that somewhat gets her off the hook for certain things. However, I felt like it was being used as a crutch to emotionally cripple her and found the connection I had built with her fading with her detached actions.
