Yup. That was the one. (Although you may want a spoiler warning for people clicking through to comments.) And yeah, I can't remember a moment in a book that hit me quite that hard. That whole scene was absolutely amazing. Particularly her reaction to the feeling of the gun.

The sequel ends on a ginormous cliffhanger, just to warn. The third book is out in spring of 2012.

And very glad you liked the review! I've enjoyed selling people on this book. I love discovering a new author who wasn't on my radar.
