review 1: I think of this as The Alex Book. Early on in book 1 Alex is described as a typical teenager, with great moodiness. That's dangerous now that she's manifested her powers and been through terrible tortures that left her with PTSD. But, oh, do I love her. She's a horrid brat, honestly, but she's so honest a character I could read about her all day. Blackbird regained much of what I felt she'd lost, so that was good, and ended up with even much more by the end. Alex made good, and Dogstar was... well. Apparently I'm not so much reading for him as I am for his lady and his daughter.
review 2: I really love this world Mike Shevdon has created. One of my favorite things is his manipulation of actual history, superstitions, symbolism, and ceremonies. I could have done... more without all the drama from Alex and I hated that Niall and Blackbird argued most of the book because I love them together... but, life's not perfect. Overall, I loved this book. My favorite book in this series has definitely been book 2, The Road to Bedlam. Anxiously waiting to start book 4!!! less
