I had trouble getting my head into this book, I must admit I skimmed some parts. There was a lot of personal introspection and not much action and the rest of the plot seemed a little disjointed - most of the events seemed to be thrown in to make it interesting but the majority of the book involved Garnet having an epiphany and reflecting on her life, I suppose it's because she has a lot of growing up to do. The ending wrapped up nicely, with a little unexpected shock at the end to add some spice. ( )

I just love the Garnet books. This one takes place right after her wedding. She and Sebastian are about to go on their honeymoon however an ice giant decides to freeze the wings on the plane. This is the first of a number of supernatural creatures or gods that come into play in this book. A troll who's a cab driver. The monkey king who's a bellboy and others. With the problems with the plane they are stuck in Minneapolis-St. Paul. This is where Garnett is from and she wants to show her new husband around. They meet Sebastians stalker in a local diner. Shortly thereafter Sebastian is arrested by immigration. Garnett gets kidnapped and a slew of other problems happen while they are stuck. ( )

I love this series and would have liked to have seen it continued. There's just so much more trouble and fun Garnet can still get into. ( )

It's a bit of a handicap to start with the last book in a series, but there were enough references to the past to let me know what was going on. Garnet and Sebastian are a nice couple. I liked Garnet's explanation for why she keeps seeing various gods and goddesses. I also liked her opinion of what she used to be like before the Vatican witch hunters came after her. It's a bit of a shame that Athena and Lilith don't get along (to put it mildly), because each can be helpful, depending upon the situation. If Garnet has to choose between them, which one will have to go? The supporting cast isn't bad. Of the bit players, the black cat (nicely silhouetted on the title page), is my favorite. If the various attackers keep spoiling the honeymoon, they do serve to keep the action going. I'd like to read the earlier books. ( )

This would have been better if I had read the previous book. It was an okay read but without the past knowledge I know I missed a lot. ( )
