Wynne is a new to me author, but I am so happy that I picked this book up. While this book is the seventh book in the series, I didn’t feel like I missed out having found the series so late in the game. I have gotten ahold of all the previous books so itll be a treat to read them all in order. If you are looking for a great story, building a fantastic story and series, then this is one that you need to pick up today! I can’t wait to see where this series goes in the future.
