As we leave Garlin with Vala and Xavyn we wonder what is to come.. and I was not prepared. We meet so many more fantasy characters, and beautiful kingdoms. Again, we wonder who is to be trusted.. how much do we trust them? What other secrets are being kept? A lot more truths that need to be unraveled and discovered as well. Vala begins to get more information on who she is (or was) as she continues her character development. Again there’s the right amount of action and even more sprinkles of romance. Enough of everything in combination, I have to know how this series ends. Once more, pairing it with the amazing narration skills of Amelia Hugh made it even better as she brought so much life to the story.
