The most important thing to know about this book is that it is NOT the only book-I repeat, this is NOT the end! I just found out that it's the first book in a new trilogy. It ends in a major cliffhanger that may leave you with physical and emotional side effects; ie cold sweats, panic, fits of anger, waking up your spouse/signif. other/dog(s) and/or cat(s) to tell them "there is no way this is the end of the book!"!
Lynn Kurland is one of my favorite authors. However, I have not read the previous trilogy. I hate to admit that I didn't even know it existed. (You know how Life gets in the way and you unintentionally stop taking time for yourself-which, for me, means curling up with a good book!) The last three days I've gone to bed reading this book until 2am (THAT'S how I know I've picked a good book!) completely absorbed in the story. When I finished the book this morning I couldn't believe it. I'm used to reading the books where everyone lives happily ever after and all the problems are solved in just one book! I just assumed this one would be the same. I'll admit-I was angry! I suffered from all the side effects listed above!
So first thing this morning I went on amazon.com and was reassured that this is only the first book and the story will continue and it's not the end. Whew! I was hoping the next book was out so I could buy it immediately and find out what happens, but I have to wait till Jan 2011, then Jan 2012 for the final book. No such luck. Just another way of knowing I picked a good book, I guess! At least I still have the previous trilogy to catch up on while I wait!
Now that I'm relieved and on the other side of the "trauma" I went through early this morning, I will say that this was a beautifully written, totally absorbing book. I liked how one reviewer described Sarah-tough and determined, but not overly tough. You can see that she has a soft heart and is thoughtful and tender with Ruith-selflessly, but without him knowing what it costs her-yet at the same time she would not allow him or anyone else treat her without respect. Both of them have so much to discover about themselves that they've hidden for so long, "stuffed down inside, like a well, latched close, to be forgotten about". You can see that, without each other and what each of them bring to and out of each other, they would never be able to face their "demons". I cannot imagine two more books would cover everything! I cannot wait to find out how this ends-for real, this time!
