I found this such an interesting installment, but it was a bit of a let down in some respects. It was pretty crazy at times, and I will admit I really struggled with what Ursa and Alaric do especially in the first half. I was eventually won over when we got to the more emotional building part of the relationship. There is a theme of revenge and it didn't really work for me all that well. It just didn't rub me the right way. So while overall I liked it, it didn't win me over till the end and I felt so badly for Murielle, and while I sometimes like menage relationships, I just didn't feel this one like I did in the previous books. But I did enjoy the "Little Mermaid" connections.
