“I'm not sure what it was about this book, but I didn't enjoy it. I didn't even finish it. I have always loved the swash buckling nature of these books, but I feel like Raine hasn't progressed as a character. Her justification for doing things is that "she's a Benares." That's awesome. My family shaped who I am, too. But I don't repeat that to myself constantly while out doing things. Ultimately she should be making choices because they're what she thinks needs to be done, but, that's not her justification. I guess I just got tired of that from her.
I've enjoyed this series since it first came out, and if another book arrives, I'll probably force myself to revisit this book and finish it so that I can read the next. I think I just feel like after 5 books Raine should have matured a little.”

“Another great instalment to the Raine Benares series. Things are kind of going to hell in a hand basket for Raine at the moment. One of the things I love about this series is it's unpredictability. Often, when your hero or heroine gets themselves in a bad situation, you can usually guess how they're going to get out of it. But with Raine, I have no clue. I just can't see it at all. She's not the type of girl that sits around waiting to be rescued, so she normally gets herself out using her wits alone. She's crafty and ingenious, and its great fun to read.
There are so many people after Raine at the moment that the poor girl seriously needs a break. I don't foresee one coming any time soon, though, as this book ends with a less than ideal situation for Raine.
I'm greatly looking forward to the next book All spell breaks loose, sometime next year. I recommend this series to anyone who likes fast moving, fantasy adventure with vivid and lovable characters, as well as smackable baddies aplenty.
P.S. this is my favourite cover so far.”
