Publisher's summary

Alex has been saved from the fate that awaited her in Bedlam, but in freeing her, Niall has released others of their kind into the population. Now, as Warder, he must find them and persuade them to swap their new-found liberty for security in the courts - but is the price of sanctuary to swap one cage for another?

Mike Shevdon lives in Bedfordshire, England, with his wife and son, where he pursues the various masteries of weapons, technology, and cookery. His love of Fantasy & amp;SF started in the '70s with C S Lewis, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov and continued through Alan Garner, Ursula Le Guin, and Barbara Hambly. More recent influences include Mike Carey, Phil Rickman, Neil Gaiman, and Robert Crais, among many others. He has studied martial arts for many years, mainly aikido and archery. Friends have sometimes remarked that his pastimes always seem to involve something sharp or pointy.

OMG, the whining!

The story had such great potential, but every character was a freaking whiner…. I almost stopped the playback on several occasions because of this.

Extremely Whiney

It was hard to get through due to the constant whining of most of the characters. The best parts were when actions were happening and Blackbird and Rabbit weren't communicating.

Whiny dialog throughout

I very much enjoyed the first two books in this series. This book contained too much whiny dialog by most of the characters. At one point or another, each character has a whiny exchange with another character. Blackbird loses her edge and becomes a jealous whiny new mom, Alex is a one dimensional whiny teen, and even our hero, Niles, whines throughout! I'm hoping the author got all the whining out of his system with this book. If the next one is a whine fest I won't be able to finish it.
