WOW! FINALLY! Now this is what I have been waiting for!! Romance Shomance - who cares??!! THIS was the installment the series needed. Phew! I felt like with this book Ward finally broke free of the unoriginal, trite & tiresome formula which publisher's give "romance" author's to follow. And once Ward got her hooks in her audience, developed a large & loyal readership - she had come to the point in the series where she could finally write the story as intended. Thank God. I cannot believe the difference in this book in comparison to the 1st three. It's like Night & Day! Clearly, Ward spent enough time honing her skills & went for the juglar in this. In this book - the secondary characters soar. Rehvenge, John Matthew, Qhuinn, Blay, Xhex, Lash Cormia even...they were incredibly interesting, compelling, rich & captured my heart in so many ways. I love when author's start to develop rich stories & flesh out (seemingly intended) minor characters. And what about the new ones? Lassiter? I can't wait to know him! And Payne? A female version of Vishous? This should be good. There was so much to love here but what I absolutely appreciated & loved most about this book was the developing friendship between John Matthew, Qhuinn & Blay. Wow. SPOILERS BELOW: Ward touched upon homosexuality in Books 4 & 5 & I thought she handled it well for the most part. The message being really - love is love & it doesn't matter what sex, it is about "seeing" the other person & feeling that soul connection. With Vishous & Butch I felt it was a little too neatly rectified but I respected the intent & they way she navigated the story to show the type of (rare) bond of friendship which transcend. Normally, that is reserved for Female characters & books & for Ward to flip the script & write a relationship like this between 2 warrior alpha males was really brave. In this book, she tackles the subject again & fleshes it out even further. I feel like she handled it with such grace & dignity. The moments of understanding between Blay, John & Qhuinn were tender & honest in their mutual vulnerability & respect. Blay's love for Qhuinn, Qhuinn's honesty about his sexuality in return & John's rape by another man exposed. You would think that in this butch world Ward created, the last thing she would do is go there, but she did & not just once but twice! Not only that, but instead of having a woman suffer sexual abuse & violation - it has been the men in the books who have experienced & been scarred by that special humiliation (Z, John, V, Rehvenge). She also has male virgins (the 3 boys were all virgin's, Phury, V was emotionally). I can't tell you how happy I am the the roles have been reversed in regards to this subject matter. And I think Ward has done a fantastic job at bringing theses themes into the series & integrating them pretty beautifully. I really hope she continues to push these characters & continue in this vein. B'c most of all, it was a great, GREAT example of storytelling & kept me riveted. I have to admit - going by the 1st few books, I didn't think Ward had it in her. I was dead wrong.
