 The Warrior
I had trouble reading this book mainly because Roxane was never a warrior, and Alexander sometimes came across as a spoiled brat, something I doubt his father would have approved of, had he lived.
I had a few problems with Alexander; he's not such a great "hero", being rather self-absorbed and shallow at times, but he did improve by the end of the story.
However, Kiara was a well-drawn heroine, and I enjoyed all the subplots, though I regretted the seemingly abrupt ending of Shashi's romance (don't want to write a spoiler, but the loss of a certain character was regretable).
