09.07.08 to 09.18.08 - Let me start off by saying that every book that is a sequel of some kind should have a page in the front of the book that says "You must first read book 1, book 2, and book 3." I spent the first part of this book saying "I know that" and "Yeah, yeah, yeah, get on with it." This is not the Authors fault, she has to reestablish the characters in case an idiot reads the books out of order [and I have been guilty of this] but when your excited about the story it can be frustrating.
Requiem is just as good as the other three. Achmed and Ashe had a larger role and Rhapsody was not in the forefront and it was nice. I love the expansion of Anborn's character and even the revival of Waste of Breath!
In this book, Rhapsody gets herself pregnant [of course with the help of Ashe] and gets the mother of all morning sickness that effects much of her ability to fend off Michael, Wind of Death, plan to kidnap her. His obsession in possessing her causes for great acts of cruelty.
Ashe and Achmed join forces to rescue her. Ashe does it out of love for his wife. Achmed does it out of friendship and duty to his Dhracian bloodline.
Don't read this book until you have all three of this trilogy in your possession as you will want to close Requiem and open "Elegy for a Lost Star." Read the book!
