This book, in my opinion, was the darkest of the three overall. These characters are so well-developed that they evoke the same compassionate feelings in the reader as if they were real people. The angst and turmoil that Vance went through at various times throughout the story was almost palpable, as was Portia's worry and love for him. The frustration they felt with situations that were impossible was almost overwhelming at times, in a good way. I thoroughly love the fact that, with every one of these books, I am drawn into the story so completely that I feel as if I am involved. Did I mention that towards the end of the book, I was bawling my brains out?! The cliffhangers that end each book are so well done and unexpected that they are virtually art forms! Once again, I loved it!
