I guess maybe I saw things in this book from a little different point of view. I remember how Hancock has popped up in other books, and the whole idea of him sacrificing one for the "greater good" really didn't surprise me all that much. After all he let Rio leave with Grace, and eventually took her back to hand over to the bad guy in Echoes at Dawn convinced in his own superiority. He let Maren be taken in Forged in Steele and only compromised his mission when it became obvious to him that the safety of her unborn child had been compromised. I truly think that if it had just been Maren, and that Maren hadn't been pregnant he would have just let it play out. So the story line here didn't really surprise me a lot. He struggled with the idea of sacrificing Honor. It would be very easy to see some of his repetitive thinking about the "greater good" and that kind of thing as a lack of author originality, but I've seen too many people in life keep repeating things to themselves or others over and over again to try and convince themselves that they are right or justified in their actions. I did feel that Honor was too accepting of her situation, and a little too quick to forgive early on in the story. Overall it wasn't an awful addition to the series, but then I'm not a stickler for complete believe-ability in the romances I read. I read them for the enjoyment and the escape and entertainment. It wasn't a book I struggled to get through or had to force myself to finish. I don't know if it will be one I will reread in the future like I have Echoes at Dawn or Whispers in the Dark, but I was satisfied with the overall story.
