Wow!  I loved this book!  What a great story.  Well-written.  There were a few spots where I would have commented, but I couldn't get myself to stop reading long enough to do so.  lol  Those who know me would  know that  is big~I like to comment   I really enjoyed this and will start right up on Book 2.  It's super lucky when you find something that is complete so you don't have to be tortured waiting for more.
I am shocked Alex and Gideon aren't in lots of trouble.  I can't remember the rules about  rules surrounding a  legatio's bonding to centurians.  I guess they can bond to more than one.  How wrong it was for the boys to trick him into it.  And they did.  They prevented him from making the choice with full knowlege of the result.  They used his love of centurians to do it.
Book 2 should be really crazy with all the pot stirring that has been done and b/c Jason will not just be surrounded by family and other Centurians.  I have a feeling he is not gonna go over well there.  At least not without the other Legatio trying to bend him to their will.  I'm glad he'll have the guys to help him. I wish they had taught him more so that he'd not be at risk b/c of ignorance.
I am assuming Kristen and Erik are angels?  That was interesting too.  One thing that I didn't feel made sense was the space Philip allowed between them.  He almost avoided Jason in the end.  I know he doesn't want to force him into anything or hurt him b/c he has so few yrs left but for god's sake, he better up his game b/c others won't play fair--even
own brother shjowed that.  I was mainly surprised at the fact that Philip so openly slept/screwed around with the other Centurians.  I know that nature wouldn't change in him.  He isn't like Alex who is trying to change the make-up of a centurian or show that it can be changed/bent.  But, I am surprised he did it in front of Jason like he did.  It felt wrong that Jason didn't react negatively to it too.  He seemed to show jealousy in the beginning and then suddenly he's all zen about what he sees.  I thnk he should have shown jealousy and questioned Philip's ardor for him.
I'm excited for the next book~  Off I go.
