Wow talk about a cliffhanger.. I am so excited this was one of my first few books of the year!!! I loved this book because it def finally was the start of use getting some questions answered alsoalso major progress on the romance front. This book had the so many elements and paths to build a war and really show the hard part and downside of being a hero and being a leader. I really enjoyed this book and now really want book 10!! I am def going to do a re-read of this series once we get a date anouncent for book 10!!
