I loved this book a lot lot more than the first Sheffords Knights book. Milisant is such a good character, as is Wulfric. I love their sparks together from the very beginning. The whole story line in this book was better and it keeps you in suspense. From early on in the book when Mili is so difficult and putting up a struggle to everything Wulfric does, that was amusing. It was quite sad to find out why exactly it was that Milisant hated Wulfric so (because of her bird) but I like how she has a way with all animals - something I have in common with her :) When the King made advances on Milisant I was really shocked, but not so much as panicked when someone knocked out Wulfric and took Milisant captive. A bit I loved though was when Milisant ran away and went to Ranulf and Reina's castle to be with their son, and although nothing actually happened, Wulfric went mental which I found very possessive and sweet. All in all, I did really like this book.
