I'm tempted to start with the ending... but I have to be "vague" - it ends the way I wanted it to. Oh Maria, I love you for ending this series the way you did!
Okay, onto the plotline:
Yalena continues her adventures in Sitia with a lingering evil force still free and another, more sinister plan boiling beneath the surface. Yalena is a Soulfinder and some of the Council are uneasy with her growing powers. Will she turn out to be a threat to Sitia and what will the Counsil do if they decide she is?
Also, Cahil has joined forces with some evil characters in his plot to take back Ixia for himself - although his royal blood is a falsehood. How far will Cahil go to thwart the Commander of Ixia and take the land for himself?
With some of the same supporting characters, Yalena finds herself in trouble again and again - will she ever learn? We see a bit more of Opal - the main character in Snyder's Glass series - in this book - with her special skill of weaving magic into the glass animals that she makes. There are some new 'badies' - the likes of which will make your skin crawl and pray for Yalena's strength in defeating them.
Again, there is a ton of action, tidbits of romance, and some humor and sarcasm that really pulls the characters into the story and makes it complete. I loved the ending, although I still want to find out what will happen to Yalena next...
5/5 Roses
