OML - I nearly broke my kindle reading this!  It was about to get chucked against the wall then stamped on.  Then I remembered that there is still book 4 to come and I managed to get my blood pressure back to semi normal!!!!

Lor and Nadir are like the ultimate power couple.  She's all untapped magic, pent up rage and sarcastic humour to cover her trauma and he's the bad boy Fae, with a tender heart and a supportive streak.  Nadir should be a narcistic playboy but he's managed to preserve his soul playing Fae politics!

Lor still has trouble taking anything or anyone at face value - always waiting for that other shoe to drop or the sleaze to ooze through someone's personality.  Her relationship with Nadir definitely suffers for it.  But I love the way that Nadir and his comrades are just there for Lor and her family. They become an epic extended found family. The traumatic childhood and time incarcerated has affected Lor, Tristan and Willow in different ways but they are stronger for it and refuse to allow it to define them.  Willow may not have the powers of her siblings but that girl is cunning and sly and would make a perfect Spy Commander!

Gabriel actually redeems himself a bit in this book.  We learn more about his backstory and just why he's so obedient to a man he clearly hates.  There is a lot of redemption being sought in this storyline.  There are many POV's in the book which adds to the complexity and pacing of the story but not so many that you get lost.  

That cliffhanger is a doozy and as I've already said - I kind of wanted to unalive the kindle because of it!
