Each of the four Raj Quartet novels has been unique and wonderful - surprising, seeing as they tell the same central story from different angles. The addition of Guy Peron in this novel brings in a wonderful character to pick apart the tormentor Merrick, who has prowled all four novels, bringing misery with him.
The way we finally get to understand Sarah in this book is also a thing of joy - a masterful and nuanced portrayal of a female character. She, of all the people in these books, has stayed with me - particularly at the end, where she chooses to make a path for herself, rather than chase any promise of love with Guy.
Books to come back to again and again.
