I really enjoyed this book, though it didn't entirely go along the lines that I was expecting. I enjoyed the story of Malichai, who in his own way stood away from his fellow GhostWalkers. I truly wasn't sure if she would write his story or not, but now I'm very excited to go back and review the earlier books and see how this one is different from them. I find it to be rather fascinating how she set this one up and how it shows that they are actually growing in individual ways, as well as a group. She shows that when the book of one is over, it doesn't mean she stops developing those characters, but rather has them grow along with the series, and I'm very glad about that.

I also enjoy how the story line was done and how the plot was spun. I'm a little sad about what happened to Malichai, but I also understand that there was a reason for it--and not just to drive the plot, it also allowed for his character to grow and to show him some truths about himself that he had not been willing to face, or admit to.
