I freely admit that I don't like Charles and Anna as much as I like Adam and Mercedes, the heroes of Briggs' other series - Charles is too much of a caveman and Anna too much of a damsel in distress for my liking - so a good portion of this book got a bit on my nerves and I was ready to give it 2.5 maybe 3 stars top despite loving all the supporting characters. But then...
Then the ending happened and the surprising twist and it had me so giddy I went back and read the part like three times in a row. That was so incredibly, incredibly awesome! And for that alone the book deserves 4 stars.
