I thought this book might be my favorite in the series, however I think it's actually my least favorite.  After two incredible FMCs, Sileas and Glynis, I found Moira incredibly annoying.  For so much of the book she just seemed so spoiled and full of herself.  I also didn't like the way she seemed to look down at Ilysa.  Honestly, Tearlag calling her an ungrateful lass might have been my favorite part of the whole book.  And my dislike of Moira eventually bled into frustration with Duncan, because why did he like her so much?  The book is still well written, but of the series, I just did not enjoy Moira and Duncan's love story the way I did the others at all.
