I love love love this book so much! And I think, ironically, it is because of the side characters, which seems to be one of many strengths of Patricia Briggs writing. I have always loved her side characters in Mercy's books, but there, she has the possibility to develop them over several books, in this series, Anna and Charles hop from place to place so far. Of course there are some side characters (Bran, Asil and the likes) who make repeat appearances and they are fantastic as well, but I love how easily Ms. Briggs makes characters seem real. It makes it seem like the other characters have a story of themself and aren't just there to help Anna and Charles's story move along, just that their story coincides with each other at the moment and that made it wonderful to read. I would love to read more about Isaac and his witch and Leslie and her work in the future, it was really interesting.

Also, since I didn't manage to read this series in between the Mercy books in the right order, it was nice finding out how the fae independence decleration and lockdown thing actually happend. Sadly, I would think that this outcome is exactly what would happen if supernatural thing would turn out to exist in our world. So point for sad realism I guess.

I loved seeing Anna's character development again, how she isn't scared to stand up for the right thing and fight for Charles, something she would have never dared to do in the beginning and how she won't allow anyone to make her a victim again. (not that she did that before, it wasn't her faul that she was abused, but she has more knowledge and power now and she won't let the past break her and she won't let anyone take her happiness without a fight).
