So after the last book in the series I was really nervous to start this one because I thought it wouldn't be good at all. I wasn't a big fan of Rhev throughout the series but this book definitely changed my mind about him. Ward is definitely straying a bit from the strict romance of the first few novels, but the story was so great it wasn't that big of a deal to me. What I particularly enjoyed was the way in this book you got a look into the life of all the brothers together, which was definitely fun to see. Absolute must read, don't be deterred because of the last book!
