I am so glad Auren was able to discover who she was and get back who she was some. However this was quite predictable I knew where she was going on her "mission" almost immediately. I did like the few pages of this book that had special designs linked to the story but since they would be spoilers I won't describe them just that I wish it would have been done before now and for the next book. I found Rip's part of story rather dull or I guess maybe I expected him to do more. And lastly I like the changes to Malina and her story arc.
