Why this must be read: Last One Standing sees Chris and Vin finally realise what they mean to each other just as the events of Nemesis threaten to tear them apart.
I really don't have enough superlatives to describe Gwyneth Rhys's writing and how much I love it. It's like she reaches in and grabs you by the heart, and you don't know until the end of the story (or possibly when you're thinking about it later - and you definitely will be thinking about it later) whether she's going to break it or make it go all flippy and gooey with joy - or do both at the same time.
"Why now?" Chris had asked, not really to Vin, maybe more to Steele for writing that damn book and messing it all up. If he didn't act fast, he'd lose track of Fowler's trail, and all for the same reasons as Vin was leaving now. Everyone would know, everyone would hear about their stories. If he ever got his hands on Steele, he'd draw and quarter the little toad, slow as he could.
"'Cause we was... what's that word Ezra likes so much? Com... com..."
"Complacent. Yeah. We were, I suppose. No." He'd looked up at Vin finally, saw the sweet, sad smile he'd come to know so well, the one that changed every new day for him, made the world feel like it was worth living in. "We were happy, that's what. Or near as we could be."
