I love the idea of Kara (and Laura) as peacemaker here. That scene in Laura's cell is just...lovely. And the connection between Leoben and Kara is so powerful here. Love that there's trust between them, and how most of all, she likes that he will never leave her; that's such a big deal for someone who's been abandoned by everyone she has ever loved.

I'm so glad I'm finally reading this. ♥
