Paige Weston puts everything on hold now that her involvement with planets has cost her Marty, her brother. She will do whatever it takes to get him back, but first she must fight for her life in the court of the planets. She is accused of the murder of a holder of a treasure heart, and the facts are against her. She was the only one seen at the time of death. She will not give up the treasure heart or the weapon used to take it. The blood has been on her hands. Her fate is in the hands of the planets that she has grown to loathe.

Another treasure heart is slain, and the planets become uneasy. Paige is given a mission, but this time it isn’t from Saturn. She agrees to find the weapon of Earth after learning that it could be the key to stopping Mars. To find the weapon, she must first find the person that holds Earth’s treasure heart. Finding anything forces Paige into her past and the pasts of the planets. The deeper she digs, the more she learns that heartaches are part of who people become and fuel what they do. With her own heartache repeating each day with the rising sun, she fears there may be nothing left of her when this fight is over.

Everyone will have loss. Everyone will have pain. With every success, there will be sacrifice. As with the fight for the normal life Paige wants, she remembers… All Gifts Come With a Price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read!
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2017

This may be my favorite novel in the Gift of Saturn series. Zander had become one of my favorite characters, so it was fun to learn more about his background and he became a much more complex character. Martin continues to surprise me with how deep and complex the universe is that she has created! I flew through this book and immediately started the next. This series is full of plot-twists and unexpected turns. I constantly try to anticipate what's going to happen next, yet Martin continues to stay three steps ahead of me! Overall, a fantastic read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even a planet can die
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2019
The tension grows even more taught as the race for the planetary weapons ratchets up a notch. Paige and Zander get a few more clues to Earth's weapons and head off with an old friend who just happens to be the earth treasure heart, but the Mars crew isn't far behind, and this time with Marty on their side.

Sure the adventure is great and the escalation of danger drives the reader ever onward, but this book also deals with the theme of loss, heartbreak, and betrayal better than its predecessors. I loved the way the author came up with to describe these feelings of pain as "The Scar of Venus." We also see that Paige's continued dalliance with Jude's ghost may be having some negative consequences to her both mentally and physically.

As expected, Zander's character develops with the focus being on his mother's planet. Though Paige remains the lens through which we view the world of the planet's, his participation evolves from merely one of her helpers to a true, developed character in his own right with feelings and motivations that become clearer throughout the narrative. He is in my estimation, one of the more interesting characters in the series. His path has been a curious and twisting one. I can't wait to see where it ends up.

If I had one complaint, it's that Paige has become somewhat flat by the third book. Her incessant complaints about the planets and relentless doubting of even the people around her gets a bit tedious after three books. I would like to have seen some development from her one way or another. She's still a fine character, I would just like to see more from her. We do finally get to see some insight into her father which I've been waiting patiently for from book one.

Back to the plot, this book leaves the council of planets in disarray with some unexpected deaths and shifts of power. Paige and Zander still feel like they are back at square one even with making some headway by finding, but unfortunately losing the weapon of Earth. This sets up book four nicely but does leave book three feeling less than satisfying at the end. Can't wait to see Ori step to the foreground in the Mercury book.

Altogether a compelling read with all the anticipation and action any reader could want while still moving many of the characters forward in a believable and enticing way.

5.0 out of 5 stars The planets are up to no good
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2015
This series has always been complex and intriguing, but this book takes it to a whole new level. You get to go on a real adventure and finally get to meet all of the people that represent the planets. The story deepens and only gets better. Getting to know more planets only draws you in more to trying to figure out what Mars is up to. This one feels a little different because it has switched up some of the main characters that have gone along with Paige in the last two books, but it was refreshing and kept it entertaining. I really like where it seems to be going with the planet storyline and Paige's family. Like the other two in the series, there are some serious twists. This one had me gasping a few times, and it set up the series for a great direction. This is probably my favorite in the series so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to continue the story
Reviewed in Germany on January 6, 2016

I really like this series. The characters are very defined, interesting, and likeable for their very unique ways. I won't say anything about the story, only that I greatly enjoyed the books up to this one and that I think it's an original story with lots of potential for things to come. The author has a lot of creativity. This series is different from what I've read before and I want more. What I especially like is the attitude to death. There are bad people in this books. There are deaths. There is brutality too. But there is also strength, love, and the main characters so far haven't killed anyone in cold blood or for the greater good. What I don't like so much is the attitute of the planets. They are hard to crasp, understand and relate to.But they are planets and I am sure the author has thought of some kind of explanation. Can't wait for Book 4. I want to know how it continues.
