As always, Garon has captured my attention but with Phoebe this time. I’ve read the Nightlord Series a few times, and always roll my eyes when Halar is on one of his tangents. I say they are annoying but they are still intriguing and that is just who Eric is. A Proffessor through and through. He taught Phoebe EVERYTHING he could. Including his love for explanations. She is still young and has a lot to learn. She is tenacious and strong willed and definitely stronger in mind and body than any female character I have read before. She does have a chip on her shoulder that exudes confidence but with a little arrogance as well. Eric wasn’t really like that. He doubted himself alot. However the way she handled Jason (trained assasin) and Rusty (warewolf) astounded me. She has no fear and I think Jason ultimately came around to respecting her for it. I CANNOT wait to see the woman she turns out to be. Tauta made a mistake, trying to offer her up when she was born. I’m so glad Eric claimed her. She is such a badass.

As always Garron Whited’s writing hits the mark. The question is “what happens when a being of enormous power raises a daughter?” The narrative is told from Phoebe’s perspective. Eric isn’t present in person at all, but the silhouette he leaves in this story of his beautiful daughter’s majority provides a satisfying connection to the Nightlord. All in all, a compliment to one of my favorite characters of all time and a rollicking good story about a kick ass heroine
