This is one of those books that is so good because it is action-packed and heartfelt and character-developing, but you're not sure if the next book can be as good because everything has changed. Good series fail because they feel that they need to keep upping the ante until they change too much and you lose why you loved the books in the first place. I hope that Jacka can reel it all in and keep these books on track. This was a great book but this series now stands on a precipice and we now have to wait for the next one to be published to see which direction Jacka picks.
