I'd never actually read this one before - I missed it when it first came out. I've read the last one in the series - several times, actually, it's one of my favorites - so I knew what had happened in a general sense. But it was great to see the details. That's where this series really blooms - in the minor details that go to make each story so rich... Oddly enough, this one doesn't move me much. I like Kit, and Miguel is great; the mystery/problem they solve is both realistic and long-needed (Robards goes down!); and the problems they face with the relationship - the obstacles - are solid and realistic. And yet this one isn't nearly as compelling as Leader of the Pack or Clay Yeager's Redemption or Lover Under Cover. I don't know why. It's still good, but only good. ( )
