4.5 stars
This is definitely my favorite in the Trinity series so far. I loved the characters, series plot progression (for the most part) and story line. I buddy read this with Anne as part of our Can You Read a Series in a Month Challenge. We both gave it 4.5 stars.

First off, as much as I have enjoyed exploring different parts of the world in the first 2 books - it was SO NICE to be back with Snow Dancer, Dark River, and the Arrows. I love seeing the way several of the characters have continued to grow. And there's just an established familiarity that makes it so easy to fall into their world.

Secondly, I adored Memory. She's incredibly strong and resilient. And she's also so cute - with her innocent joy in things like glittery shoes and bubbles. It's a nice foil to what she perceives as a dark ability. I enjoyed watching as they discovered her new Psy abilities and the consequences of this new designation. And her relationship with Alexi was priceless. She taunted her wolf and he was putty in her hands :)! Alexi is a great character - I found there were references that I don't recall and I wonder if they were never in the books? Anne didn't remember either, so I'm thinking no. I wish we'd had a short or something to give that back story.

Third, we got some interesting new developments in the overall story arch, couched in a really exciting story surrounding Memory. I will admit a slight disappointment that we didn't get further development on the Ming front or on the Consortium front. Especially Ming. He's been evil since the start of the Psy-Changeling series and I desperately want him resolved already. But other story lines got really good development, so I'll only complain a tiny bit.

Once again, narrated by Angela Dawe and a fantastic listening experience. Looking forward to continuing!
