Not quite as good as the last. I do like the evil behind this one. Claire is annoying in this book which is unfortunate. Myrnin is wonderful as usual. Shane is really trying now, he is definitely growing up. Micheal is accepting who he is is and is no longer apologising for who he is. Eve is a little nieve in this book but I can forgive her. I really enjoyed this story and I'm interested in seeing where the author takes it next.
