Well, authors can't hit home runs 100% of the time. This one is forgettable.

Rune has been called by Carling to pay her the favor he owes her. Grumpily he appears. The favor is paid rather quickly but Rune finds out Carling is dying and decided to stick around an help her find a cure.

In Storm's Heart Carling was a bad ass take no prisoners alpha female with immense power. Here she is weak and is as dull as mud. Rune didn't have much personality in the first two books and he doesn't grow one for this one. There is very little action and the continuous dialogue quite boring. I also didn't find there was any chemistry between the two.

There are somethings that happen, however, that set things up for Oracle's Moon. We meet the djinn and the Oracle and Rune and Dragos have a confrontation that will spill over into future books.

If you read the first little bit of the book then read the last bit of the book, you probably will get all you need for the next one. The rest really isn't worth the time.
