It was so sad to confirm that Maven was made this way because of his mother’s interference, but we already knew that.  However, what’s worse is that Maven cannot or will not change his ways.  His feelings for Mare were could have saved him, but they were instead twisted into obsession.

I love the sweet little moments of Mare and Cal here and there, it was a nice way to break up some of the sad or difficult stuff.

I also really liked the relationships Mare was able to start building with the other newbloods.  I hope we get to see even more interaction with Kilorn but especially Farley.  I think they could be a lot of good for each other.

On to the final book!
