" Well, blow me away and call me Mary Poppins -- I actually enjoyed this. After the forgettable melodrama that was "Mistral's Kiss", I figured this series was done for. I hate leaving a series unfinished, though, so I picked this up for half-off. I was surprised to find things -- real plot -- happening. It wasn't just chapter after chapter of touchy-feely (pun intended) conversations and wasted time. There was story development, great strides of it, in fact. And it wasn't even a particularly long book. Best of all, in my opinion, the Frost problem has been "taken care of", if you will. I can't stand him, and I was quite happy with the way things turned there -- I won't say more and risk a spoiler. Anyway, I'm truly and surprisingly looking forward to reading the next book, "Swallowing Darkness". Go figure. "
