Storm and Fury

I haven't read the other series this is apparently related to, so I don't know how much that affected my reading experience. It took a while for me to get into this one, but once the pace picked up I didn't want to put it down. Interesting characters, moral quandaries, a mysterious lurking evil, and great romantic tension. Sometimes a bit repetitive, but the plot was enough to keep me moving along. Now I have to see what happens!
