This book has a great start and one can really feel the magic coming together and being used in away that makes sense. Unfortunately the writing doesn't hold that strong through the story but it starts strong enough to carry the story through to the end. This was probably the better of the books I have read in the series and one I enjoyed more than any of the others.But Cam seems less real in this story and the sisters more separated. And I struggle some with Sersee and reality of her character. There seems to be an issue also of poor continuity between characters in this book and prior ones. There personality's don't seem to be consistent. But still I liked this one.Although there is a lot of threats and fire breathing at the end I found it a little weak and the characters unreal. Still the writing was much stronger in this book than in the others.
