The storyline in this was not as good as the previous books in the series. I feel like the author is running out of plots to use until she can get back to the politics of the sidhe courts, the birth of the babies, and the big finish (if she does indeed intend to get to the big finish, rather than dragging it out indefinitely like many authors do). I think I'd rather she just skip ahead than continue at this pace. That said, it was still enjoyable, just not up to her usual standards.
