While I normally won't read books with profanity in them, by the time I hit the first instance of offensive language, I was hooked. The story is so compelling I have to keep reading. And even though the solution they come up with to their dilemma (I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't say what I mean here - it doesn't come up til the end of book 4) is something I am opposed to morally, I will continue to read this series.
