So I after to admit that I found this installment to be a little of a let down. Hines deserves full credit for actually, seriously, looking at what a revelation of magic could do, and considering how many Urban Fantasy novels skirt around this issue, its nice to see someone really think about it.

The problem is that thinking kinda goes out in the end after Lena's confession. Don't get me wrong, it is in keeping with her character, but in many ways, it speaks to some of the concerns that the various officers and officials are concerned about. And I understand that the central characters make true debate the issues raised in the conclusion difficult. And I even think that Hines is trying to get us, the readers to think about this, I just think it could have been done better.
