I really enjoyed this book. Myrnin is still one of my favourite characters even if he is a little warped. This book has romance, secrets, betrayal and intrigue. A common enemy can really bring people together, though I dont know how long it will last. The uninvited guests are awful but they are supposed to be. Claire is being twisted more and more by this town, the decisions she makes are becoming easier for her, not because its smaller choices but because she is beginning to see things in a new light. thats not to say she will sacrifice her friends for the greater good.....yet.
