This one was truly heartbreaking! After all they had been through in the first book, Marek and Rhia had loads of more heartache coming their way. The first time they left their tiny son, Nilik, with other pepole in order to get some adult-time, he was kidnapped by Descendants. And Marek decided to go with him when he caught up with the kidnappers and they wouldn't let him have his son back.

Alanka had a hard time believing she still deserved Wolf's spirit, and only felt more or less complete when she was with Filip, the Descendant who stayed after the battle, having decided he would not dishonour his family by coming back home crippled.

Even more excitement and fights than in the first book, and a allover more sad feel to it as well. However, JS-R is such an awesome writer I still truly loved it all. Even the hard and complicated parts of the plot were beautifully written, and really made sense in view of the story she was telling.

This is becoming one of my all-time favourite series! ( )

Not as completely captivating as Eyes of Crow, but an excellent story once I got into it. The storyline was good, but slightly confusing in parts. There are a lot of characters so it can be difficult to keep track of them all. The book is very emotionally charged with some totally heart-wrenching moments that left me feeling rather sad. This one and the previous are definitely keepers. Looking forward to the next one in the series. ( )
