Ooooh, good point! I mean, we had Jon, George AND Liam all at the same time (kind of), and while I don't think Liam was ever really a front-runner (and for the life of me, I cannot understand people who think Alanna/Jon works long term), there's a WHOLE BOOK dedicated to explaining that, not just...random comments throughout.
I think what this really needed was a "third" book (which would bump Mastiff to fourth), where we learn a) why the hell Beka decided to marry that dude who died in the first place, and b) TOLD THAT STORY. Then I think a lot more of what happened in Mastiff would make sense. It could be called...Retriever, and deal with loyalty and honesty and...fetching stuff?
(Er, apparently it's MY FIRST DAY, so I fixed it.)
