    <body><![CDATA[Three words; fa, reaking, awesome!<br/><br/>Now I remember why I love fantasy so much! Especially a kick-butt high fantasy like this one.<br/><br/>Chima has masterfully created an intriguing world, with a cast full of memorable characters.<br/><br/>The chapters somewhat alternate between Han and Raisa. Divulging the depth of each character and the world around them, presented in their own P.O.V. I love when authors do this. I like that connection you get when the story is presented in this format. I am emotionally invested in these characters, I actually care what happens to them!<br/><br/>The plot was insane, in a good way. I didn't even begin to try to figure out where this story was going to take me, I had some inclinations (and they happened to be right) but it was nice just to go with the flow and let the story lead me where it wanted me to go.<br/><br/>The writing... I'm just going to throw masterful out there again, because it was just that. I was transported to another world. Fantastic!<br/><br/>I can not wait to read the rest of this series! I'm not looking forward to waiting, I can tell you that much. Will definitely be adding this one to my personal library.]]></body>
