Hunter continues to be deliberately cryptic with her readers when it comes to her world. It's a post-apocalyptic blend of religion, fantasy and science fiction that is as fascinating as it is incomprehensible. One is drawn to it, wittingly or unwittingly, and yes, I will read the next book when it comes out. In this third volume of her series she advances the battle between Light and Dark, dropping more bits of revelation about her characters and her world but still only grudgingly. So grudgingly that she has to fill her book with seemingly endless chapters of battle description which, while undoubtedly well written, just go on and on and on until the reader chafes for the story to move forward. Which it eventually does, but still not far enough to satisfy - the entire book is only about two battles. I suppose an author has to make money by stretching out her story as long as she can, and it works too. The addition of Thorn's sister Rose into the mix at the end makes one want to read the next installment. While I'm enjoying the read so far, this series does not make it to my keeper shelf. I'm glad I just got this from my friend in e-format.
