I'd probably rate this one 3.5 stars if I could. I like this series and I liked this book. It was a “quick” read and more of a story about the land, it's traditions and it's recovery so there wasn't much “danger” in them as has been in the past. Through the reading I realized that I might have missed some of the books or I don't remember some of the details and I think that would have made it a bit more interesting. Overall a nice book, but nothing to write home about, not horrible not great.***After looking through my book collection and then looking at Wikipedia and Anne Bishop's bibliography, I did miss a book in the series, specifically [b:The Shadow Queen 3598830 The Shadow Queen (The Black Jewels, #7) Anne Bishop http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1226637548s/3598830.jpg 3641533]. I guess I'll have to go back and read it.
