Sorry to sound like a broken record but, again, if I had to "read" the books, I would have abandoned the series. For this series, in my opinion, audio is better.

If you have read the first two books, you know what to expect and don't need to read reviews. I guess the thing that annoys me the most is the long, dry spells in the story. You know what I mean, the long periods of time when nothing much happens. Yet I listened every day and do not regret that decision or action.

The Llian and Karran relationship seems to be smoothing out to feel more realistic now. I am not totally convinced of their feelings for each other, but they seem to be finding their way. Perhaps that's how it is for some couples.

By the end of this book, we are getting a better understanding of the characters and how they might fit together. There are clues as to those who might have been deceitful and those who could have been wronged.

Good and evil can be a hazy business and I suspect that is the case within this story.

I don't have much more to say, except I am going to finish the series. I've invested a lot of time already and want to know how it comes together. ( )

Still not really decided about this series. For me, the action slows a great deal in this book and it is mostly setup for the final book of the series. ( )

Characters were one dimensional, races were not distinct enough, history was contrived, omni-powerful super villain locked away in other worldly prison.

I kept trying to find a reason to care about the characters or the world they were in but could not. ( )
