What can I say about this book? The adventure was exciting. The characters were flawless. I loved watching how the characters interacted. I was very pleased with how this book ended. Hal did the right thing at the end and I think that simple act showed more character and value than retrieving the Andomal. As for Lydia's character, I liked her spunk and independence. She's going to be a great addition to the Heron crew. Onward to book 3!
